Well I picked up my mill today, I got it from my dad along with a South Bend 9A lathe
Is it worth fixing up or is it just junk?
not bad for a freebie in my opinion

I have the belt guard, I just removed it before the drive home, it wasnt attached very well

Another nice machine, especially if it turns out nice like your SBL.
That mill you have there will have me shopping...
Looking forward to the "after" pictures as well.
 
I have the big brother to that machine (JVM 830) and it is a nice machine. I think it is well worth the effort to fix it up.
 
Well i got it home and unloaded, that thing is HEAVY! not much fun to move by myself. I got it to the door with the Kabota tractor then had to maneuver it thru the door and across the room. I had to sit down and have a beer after that one. But anyway I got it in its spot. I started wiping off some of the grime. it hasnt been cleaned for a very long time, (dad isnt very good at that) Here are a couple pics
