Lucas Mill

Considering selling my old faithful Lucas Mill.

 

No idea what it would be worth so thought I'd put up some pics to get some feed back before posting on Arbtrader.

 

It has an 8" cut lots of spare blades all sharpened ready to use.

i'd be interested if i had room. how small a space will it stow away in?

I put the long rails on top of a 20' container and the rest goes inside takes up approx. 8' x 8' x 4'

They do pack down well, after the long rails (which are long) it's really just the trolley and winch frames.

 

Value wise I'd be looking at hours on the engine and its condition, as well as the gearbox - has this been looked after and has it been stored with the blade cutting vertically? Also what of the service items (rollers, belts etc) need replacing, wear on the trolley frame esp. where the lock clamps on the underside and wear on the profiled edge that the rollers of the engine frame ride along (both weak points of the Lucas design). Also wear/dinks on the profiled edge of the long rails and play in the winches. And spares as well.

 

There's not that much to go wrong with them that can't be fixed or replaced. Without knowing this it's difficult to give an actual value, and they don't come up often to give comparisons. Hope this helps though.
