Well I got it home. It was a crazy trip! It WAS alot heavier, around 3000lbs, but the folks in the machine shop actually loaded it with a forklift :-D. S/N shows 1951 build year. It came with a few tool holders and mills, but none of them fit in the spindle properly, so I'll have to investigate...

Good news, I reserved a single axle 6x12 tilt trailer from sunbelt rentals instead of a 6x12 ramp trailer from uhaul. It should hopefully make the loadout easier. m16ty, on the weight. According to Van Norman collectors/restorers the weight is approx 1800 lbs originally. With a motor instead...

Well, looks like I'm going down there on Tuesday. Does anyone have any pointers on how to get a 2000lb piece of iron onto a uhaul trailer? I was hoping to slip someone in the shop with a forklift $50 but apparently I'm on my own. Anybody wanna come help? :-D

Bump! Someone please help me out!

It's in Albany, GA.

JDT, this mill is from the 1940-1950's. Originally it was in a shop powered by an overhead belt system along with a bunch of other machinery.

I went and bid on a milling machine from GL, and actually won. The only problem is that I can't get down there during the weekday to pick it up. Can anyone get it off base for me? It's 2000lbs. 0001 - Uncategorized at Government Liquidation
