Need information on a Van Norman crankshaft grinder: Model # 666 a very large machine approx. 10,000 lbs. About 10' long about 5' wide, and about 5' tall, 220 volt single phase, with tooling. What is it worth??? How old is it??? What will it do????

This machine is probably slower than the newer machines for over $100,000.00. You should look at the volume of work you are going to do. Low volume should be done on a cheaper machine like a 666 as long as it is accurate. Sometimes the person can make do with a machine then when it is sold the new guy running it has no idea what hoops the guy before had to jump thru to get a good grind. This makes it a tough situation on deciding whether to buy it or not. 8,000.00??

The local machine shop has a Van Norman grinder that will take a D9 Cat crank, which is about 7 ft. long. I don't know the model, but it's about 50 yrs. old, & does as good work as when it was new. The gentleman that owns it is about 70, and a true artist on it. He told me an equivalent new machine would cost well over $100,000.

Jack, I don't see a model 666 grinder in my serial number reference book. (May be a devil of a grinder) See a model 667, made from 1945 till 1963. Make sure of the model number and hunt up the serial number and if it's in my book, I'll post it for you. It really doesn't matter how old it is, just what kind of repeatable tolerances it will hold. Check machinery prices online from various dealers to determine going value. Also go to parts store machine shop and talk to someone who has run one.
