I have a J head vertical mill with a 1 HP motor and speed change via pulleys.

Where do I find the serial number for this machine? If it's on the knee, it's hiding well.

The serial number on the head - on the data plate and casting - is J-148488.

I'm assuming I'll need this information when I order parts.
 
The s/n is stamped in the top of the knee under the chip shield in large letters.

Move the table all the way to the rear, then move the chip shield to the rear to reveal the number.

Thanks, good thing it wasn't a snake!

The chip guard is missing. The serial number was obscured by a nice thick layer of congealed brown oil.

The list at metalwebnews ages the machine at 1972.

Does the 12 over BR have siginificance?
