Makes you wonder if some people have heard of way covers. This could

I doubt if "months" is the correct term to use here though. An
"experienced" scraper hand could easily do the horizontal knee surfaces
in less than a day (after the vertical surfaces of course) ,with the
proper tools. On the other hand, if there is enough wear, you might
want to send that knee out to be ground first.

$1000s to get this machine back to anything but a glorified drill press.
