[SEL] Lineshaft equipment

[Curt]

Rick,
How about an appropriate hit and miss engine to drive the line shaft? 
I've been in a few shops that use engines for the lineshaft. It's a neat 
thing to go over and crank the engine up prior to doing any work.
And to complete any metal shop a trip/drop hammer would be nice.
How about an old planer or horizontal mill?
