It's attached to my shop building now and use it after having to do some major rebuilding. Just below the N,S,E and W, the shaft was locked up by rust when I got it. Cut it off there, and welded a new shaft to it with a rod that I dimpled on the lathe so a ball bearing could fit between the shaft and the rod. Used some grease used in the arctic for a lube and it's been running for almost 30 years now. Take a pic of it tomorrow if I remember. LOL.</blockquote>
