It seems like I bought this grinder when I started building the go-cart track and we opened in 84 so its a couple of years older than that. I know its got a lot of miles to it....
The only reason I show this is because it is the easiest cord fix I ever did do... For the last couple of years I been having to push the cord pass the problem while running and today I had some time extra so hey, they have made it simple for anyone to repair these grinders...cord wise, that is!
Yes, it came from HF and is still running! I think I got my 20 bucks worth long ago.
