It is a MFB. It also came with the 7/8" & 1" arbors.

Mike,
For future reference, it is an MFB rather than an MFC because it does have the 2-step countershaft pulley but does not have the extended feed screw bearing on the front to which the added arbor support arm is attached. In the first two photos, you have an almost profile view of the bearing which clearly shows it as tapered end to end except for a hex at one end and a short flange at the other. The bearing on the MFC has a straight section between the hex and the beginning of the taper.

I was wondering because it didn't look like others I've seen.
After seeing one go at a auction I went to for around $200, I wish now I'd have bought it. But at the time, I was looking for a vertical mill.
If I find another one I think I'll get it if it's in decent shape and everything there.
