Well hopefully I'll be the new owner of a used Norwood this weekend! I found one for sale ~5hrs away, talked to the fella last night, seems like a solid mill. He just used it the other day and said he made ~ 15 cuts with it and worked perfect.
It's about 8 years old and has a 13hp Honda on it (pull start I assume) I really don't care if it is, I plan on just doing some hobby stuff. He didn't know the exact model but from the pics it looks like a Lumbermate...but maybe it's a Mark IV?? IDK. It's got trailer lights on it and a homemade axle with what appears to be leaf springs. It also has 4 leveling jacks with it. I'll plan on putting it on the trailer cause he said he wouldn't trust the axle on a 5hr highway trip. He also said it may need a new belt (runs from the motor to the clutch I assume?) but other than that he said it works great.
I'm a little skeptical cause the proce is almost too good to be true, but I think he just wants it gone. I am so pumped! He said he'd have a log on there for me so I could try it out first too. He was an older gentelman and "sounded" honest.
Does anyone see or read anything I should be leary of?
Here are the pics he took;
