Found this machine when looking for a knee mill to supplement the limited milling capability of my Smithy 1220XL. Price was right, so drove a few hours to inspect it. Machine is physically sound, controller system was working when pulled, all it needs is some adapter plates, scales mounted, and wires connected then I'll be crashing end mills in no time!

 

This machine has the Erickson Quick-Change 30 spindle, but also has a drawbar so it can use NMTB #30 tooling. Will definitely have to work on making it a power drawbar, since it's a bit of a stretch to reach the top of the machine, even with my 6'+ height!

I bought it! Now I just need to get it home. I came up with an elaborate plan to get the several thousand pound machine off the trailer, then I realized - I have a gravel driveway, I have a little tractor with a loader - it would be easier to lower the trailer than to try and lift the mill off piece by piece, so I dug a hole:
