@Cindy_Vasko It has been a few years since I seen a shaft drive and pulley system to power a number of machines. The last one was an Amish factory for buggy parts. The shaft was powered by a hydraulic motor!
@Cindy_Vasko One of those amazing situations where everything is exactly where it should be, with no scrappers taking everything. Awesome find!
