Old /Tool My Big Score today

I just pickup a mill today a 1941 Karney Trecker it was rebulit in 1956 by Douglas Aircraft Long Beach and the best part it works and it was Free

 

Is it heavy?

 

8500lbs +

 

Big is right. I like the styling. So if you make billet parts on it will they be considered traditional?

 

...and boy are my arms tired! (rimshot)

Nice score!

 

Do you still have room to fit a car in your garage?

 

Magnetic north has now shifted to De Moines.Looks Cool.

 

Cool score. How the hell do you go about moving something that big?

 

that is nice and the price you cant beat at all!!!

 

$100.00 Bills

 

I'd be concerned if I only had 3-4" of concrete under that!! Might fall right through the floor. Nice score!! I've been looking for a milling machine for a while.

Holy **** you will have to donate your deuce ch***is to me just to have room.

 

lol...no ****!!!!

 

I don't understand the question your supposed to put cars in the garage? Then how do you build Hot Rods?

 

that thing is cool as hell! where the heck did you find it?

 

You've got to look at this,and wonder what pieces it turned out during World War 2..Nice score,love those old machines

 

Hey! Those old humpback mills just keep throwing off the chips.
Great for heavy work and some light stuff, too.
I'm jealous.

 

That is super cool, but isn't it tech week?

 

That'd look nice in the living room.

 

Amen. He be whippin' up something for the next tech week, you betcha. Great score!

 

Wanna know how to run it?...Just kiddin' nice score! Seriously if you wanna know what to do with it give me a PM.

8,500#? How did you get that puppy home?

 

That must be three phase power right? Can you get that where we live or are you using a converter? It is cool looking. Did ya get any tooling?

 

It says O/T on the thread so I thought that meant off topic?

what the hell do i know

that thing is completely sick. I wish I knew how to use it!

 

That's what it was! And I thought that pile it was full of shiite.

 

No idea why you would put OT in the thread so I fixed it. Figured OT must stand for Old Tool...

That is a cool old mill. Glad someone didn't melt it down.

 

let us know how it feels the first time you walk around that thing and hit your toe on it...you oughta have plenty of computer time after that
