Was just going to post this myself. Looks like a very good deal. Fix/replace the motor, maybe more, but quite a machine when done. It is in far North west, Minnesota.  |

Makes me wish I had a bigger garage! And wish that I lived closer to actually be able to get the damn thing!

I have already been talking to the guy about this saw, he has another one too, a 36" HP.

Curious . . . 36” blade vs $600 saw
Covington 36” slab saw
List Price: $12000.00 plus freight, incl. the $1500 blade
Currently on sale at Kingsley North: $9180.00 plus freight
requires 34 gallons of coolant – try filtering that through a grocery bag! : )
Kingsley specs only 23.25 gallons ??
Covington: 36” Gold blade - $800
Covington: 36” Platinum 303 blade - $1500
Kingsley: MK-303 - $1450
JSGems: : )

If you got 20 minutes to kill, here is a video link to his Hp-36. Not to bad of a price.

Need a forklift to use that thing to it's full advantage.
In these larger saws, more oil is better. The thick blades make lots of swarf. My 48" saw contact has 55 gallons of oil and changes out every three weeks. That is every 90 cuts. He is using bio deisel and doesn't bother filtering. Just pours in kitty litter to solidify and landfills it.
