Here is the mill. Has Rockford in the castings. Did find tag and it had 10 with a letter in front, forgot what it was. Also got a box of cutters with it,--some of them are new.

looks like maybe a gearbox might be missing off the back..any place where a knee elevation crank might be located?

from the literature it kinda looks like they all were line-shaft factory driven and everyone has adapted them for individual motor drive.yours sure looks like a factory-built motor mount

I looked again tonight before the snow while I was covering the mill better and the drive mount with motor and gearbox has the model B-10 ,--forgot the name but made in Ks. and looks like No 11 cast in under the Rockford name. Drive unit is factory made for the mill by somebody else and fits this mill.
I cant find anything on the internet remotely close to what this one looks like! Ticks me off!!

I sent you guys the snow to cool that HORSERADISH!!!! LOL!!
Looks like a Rockford # 1 1/2 mill with third party drive on it. not the short 1 1/2 but tall one. Confusing as hell for sure! Anyway I could still use a rotary phase converter to run the Rockford shaper and a electric chain hoist. Also have a 3 hp 3 phase motor I could use on the 6' SB lathe.
