I recently acquired this John Heine 40c with circle cutter. I just wanted to see if there was anyone else that has one who could share their experiences or any information about them.

I started pulling it apart today as it was outside in the rain and I wanted to dry it out properly and also see that nothing needed attention internally. It looks mint and seems that it has been well greased its entire life. Pleasantly surprised that every bolt needed little effort to undo (I didn't need to reach for the sledgehammer once). I still need to figure out how to remove a collar from the top shaft that sits inside the housing in order to remove it.

The plan is to give it a good clean, re-grease and re-assemble but now i'm tempted to give it a paint job while its apart.
