Did that drill press table have replaceable brushes and a traction motor?
No...hum...I think that was a Big Joe walking forklift I sold him. I
let him inspect it fully, discussed everything that was wrong with
it and left it with him for a period of time before he payed me . As
I recall. Its a bit foggy. As I recall..the drive gear box was on
the fritz or something, but he stated that he didnt mind pushing it
around like a self lifting hand truck and had taken out a drive gear
so it pushed around easily.

So, it would seem that the facts are 1) You sold him a Big Joe
forklift 2) You set out to repair it 3) For any reason you left the
grinder at his place

1. I indeed did sell him a Big Joe forklift with problems
2. He was made aware of those problems beforehand
3. I did try to repair it, but he said it was ok if it wasnt repaired.
Better if it worked properly, adequate if it wasnt
4. I loaned him a grinder and proper wire cup brush at his request.

Yes to 1-4


And the disagreements are

1) He claims that you did not succeed to repair it

See 2 and 3 above

2) The two of you disagree as to whether it was properly described
during the sale

He knew well before hand that it had problems and what those problems
were.

3) You want him to ship your grinder to you and he refuses to ship it,
but allows you to pick up.

Frankly..I dont care if he ships it, or simply drops it off at Skulsky
Machinery, a place rather close to his. Given his temprament on this
newsgroup, Id rather not have him go ballistic towards me and putting me
in the position of, after driving 60 miles round trip, to either turning
my back on him and leaving, or B..sharpening his heels and driving him
into the ground like a marker stake.

Is that a correct summary?

It is now, with my corrections.

At any time up to the point he offered up money and I accepted it, he
could have simply said..sorry..too rough for me or no thanks. Granted I
needed money, but there was no force on him to purchase it.

I actually like the man. Shrug. If I didnt, Id never have gotten him the
drill press table, brought it to him, (Unloaded with the Big Joe as I
recall) never have loaned him $250 worth of milwaukee tools and brought
it to him, out of my own pocket. His place isnt easy to find, nor is
it anywhere close to my service range. Shrug. Probably 60-80 miles
out of the way.

I think he also got a nice granite surface plate from me as
well...though thats fuzzy as hell too.


Id just like to have my grinder back if he is done with it.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
