Burke Identity

[bug_hunter]

Can anyone help me identify this machine? I was hoping to obtain a Burke Horizontal Mill for some hobby work, and this came by locally. If you know the model, please share your thoughts. My biggest concern is if there are spindle bearings like the No. 4, or not. No vise, no tooling, unsure if motor works. Have a lead on a No. 4, but not local.

Thanks all!

Looks like quite an old timer!

Looks like a Burke #0. Check out Vintage machinery.org

Bug Hunter, I sold a Buck 4 about 2 years ago. It was complete and running very nicely. The problem was that I did not have enough use for it. My small milling machine is sufficient for any hobby work. I would leave that old machine right where it is. The cost for tooling etc. will probably not be worth your time and effort. Al.

Make sure it has the over arm and arbor suport.
