1st post.
Hello to all!
Kinda long winded.
Unit in question:
1882 Hendey Machine Co
Torrington CT USA
Serial tag - 8496
Me: I am new to posting to forums. I use them on all my new adventures and even when I’m curious as to why I do every day things the way I do compared to others. I enjoy new information!
Sorry for the intro.
Internet to the rescue!
I noticed Hendeyman post information helping others identify their machines. Not sure if he has access to more information than a lay person or if anyone else may know anything about this machine. It’s in good shape.
I know value is pretty much whatever someone is willing to pay but still wonder if it is one of those $500 or $5k or in betweeners. I know my Ford Pinto isnt worth much money at all but it is still priceless to me.
Any info, history, whatever anyone knows will be appreciated greatly. I can take photos and whatever else if it will aid in identification and more information. (I probably should have just posted some pictures, whoops..)
Is this something that a light tinkerer would use or something a more seasoned heavier user would use?
What I kind of know pertaining to this unit:
Something about 1882 being the year they introduced a changeable gear box? Then the little information I did find said they didn’t need to go further into that reference as whoever is into these machines will know the relevance... meaning? haha so the pre 1882 were non changing?
So I came across this site and ended my search for the evening. So many questions and so little time!
Thanks for your time and knowledge.
