This will be my first surface grinder I’ve owned . Haven’t used ones since HS 45+ years ago . I picked it up yesterday from a fellow I met through a garden tractor forum . He bought it from a friend about 30 years ago and it was stored in a building since . Hes getting the building ready to sell and asked if I wanted it for FREE . It was quite a challenge to get it to the large door that my trailer was back to . Using pipes underneath to roll and pry bars to help turn it we were able to get it onto the tailgate , the trailer tilted too , a hand crank boat winch was able to get it into place . Once I got home i was on my own to get it off , with the Kubota backed into the garage ,was afraid to try tilting the trailer and thought the best option was to put jackstands under the trailer frame for extra support , use a strap to get the grinder close and ratchet binder to get get on the forks . The picture shows some of the progress. The little Kubota doesn’t have the lifting capacity but was able to back and lower the bucket until i was on the garage floor . I was able to get it in the garage and off to the side for the BOSS’s car . Who said that “ don’t come inside until my car is parked in the garage “ I searched here on HM for information on the B&S #2 lots of good stuff though mine seems a little different and it appears it had power feed that was all removed .
