Is this surface grinder for machine shop work or a surface grinder for engine work? What kind of seat and guide machine do you hace? The Tobin-Arp machine is it to recondition caps or the machine that lets you bore connecting rods to length&gt; The key here is what do you have for cleaning equipment&gt; By the way, on the Cub Cadet, have you ever seen a West Virgina model? A guy that used to rebuild engines for the state has one (in fact he has 2) one with a factory kit to widen the wheel tread for use on the West Virginia hills. The other one also has that but it is not a factory kit. If you have a good seat and guide machine it will be the most used tool. A lot of shops make more money with a flywheel grinder than any other machine.
