As the title says, I'm looking to re-home a 42" Bullard VTL that has not been used in a couple years. Currently under power. These pictures were taken yesterday. At one point a power feed was added using a DC variable speed motor, the motor & controller is missing but everything else is still there and goes with the machine. Weighs about 18,000 lbs. The old leather drive belt was upgraded to a Kevlar belt and new steam turbine oil was added several years ago at the same time. I did not get a picture of the threading table brass tag on the right side. Located in Pelham, NH 03076. Shop is at ground level, no loading dock. Call 603.721.1759 and I can put you in touch with the owner.

I will rig this out the door and pay a crane/rotator to lift this onto your trailer.
It simply no longer earns the space it occupies.

It looks to be in pretty good shape.

For that price if the table drive goes out, just remove it all and add a hydraulic motor.
Same with all the feeds.

Machine is actually late 40's and the table drive works great.

Really? That thing looks Titanic era to me. I'd expect late 40's to look much more modern than that with much more power and cast iron.

No, I've been around allot of them, Bullard was heavier than allot of them of that era, the Dynatrol series got "bulkier and squared"

Owner says this has to go, if it's still here by June...it'll be dismantled in place and scrapped. He's already sent a load of machines to the scrapper. Everybody cries, but nobody pulls the trigger.

More pictures for interested parties that have PM'd me. It's not on the machine but it does have the threading attachment. Motor is 15 hp.
