Here are pictures of a Barber Colman #6-10 gear hobbing machine.

I bought this machine from a shop in Kearney, NE, who bought the machine from 
Kearney State University (the original owner).

The seller did a wonderful job crating this machine, I asked for this and paid a little extra.  
They included nice features like custom T-studs that go all the way thru the bottom 
framing, wrapped all the change gears and hobs in bubble wrap, put them in a 5 gallon 
bucket, and screwed that to the framing.  The machine’s covers which swing open were 
electrical taped so they wouldn’t swing during shipment.  The documents were nicely 
wrapped in cardboard.  I thought I’d post some pics as kind of the “high water mark” in 
machine crating.

I’ve unloaded this with my Clark forklift and will start to learn about the machine.
