Looks like a wheel boring mill, wheel press and a car wheel lathe. But no journal axle lathe. All looking in very rough condition. The wheel boring mill for boring the axle hole and machine hubs is a production machine and for the smaller shop this work can be accomplish by the much more versatile VTL. The wheel press would be the easiest machine to repair. Wish there was a journal axle lathe I know people looking for one.

It's a shame to see machines rot like this when they could have been reconditioned or potentially remanufactured.

I've seen machinery in cosmetically worse shape that was cleaned up and used but it took a lot of work.
Is this machine in Pittsburgh?
