10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Re: Roundup applied to wheat before harvest?
I don't know if anyone actually answered this affirmatively. One answer supported it, but it was then questioned as if that was the reason.
I am not a farmer, but my back yard is a farm field. Yes, they do spray roundup when needed to help a field drop it's moisture content. I don't think it is a standard operating procedure, but done when necessary.
Remember that if the moisture content is too high, the farmer either has to dry it in large heaters which costs lots of money to run, or they get deducted when they take it to the elevator.
Here is the info on it's use for this procedure straight from the manufacturer.

I know that it has to be used x amount of days before harvest and then is "considered" safe.
