What is the transmission on there from, Kurt? Very interesting lathe, and I think I remember seeing it when I visited you that time.

When I worked at the marina they had a big old lathe that came off of a WWII battleship, and when they were cleaning up they offered it to me for free. I seriously considered it, but couldn't figure out how to move it. When they finally found a buyer for it our forklift actually did a reverse wheelie trying to pick it up. We had to use our 20 ton travel lift to put it on the guys trailer. It almost flattened the tires on his trailer when we set it down. I should have taken it for scrap value alone, but it was in good working order and would have been a shame to scrap.
