I believe EwePee's rotaries are newer than any of the ex - Espee plows. Also the Espee plows have been rebuilt once before, when they were converted from steam power to electric, with the snail B - units providing electric power. I believe the Espee plows had a steam generator installed at this time, to provide heat & steam to melt snow & ice from the blades. I recall hearing the rebuilds took place in the early - 1960's, before EwePee's home - built plows. A typical rebuilt rotary plow re - uses only the blade & its' housing, with an all new carbody & mechanical bits.
