The grinder jig looks like someone formed a 1/2" radius into the grinding wheel. I wonder how they trued the grinder wheel?

believe it or not I found a place in my little town that has done this type of repairs on this sort of thing before! I think a 8n ford tractor is set up just like this! the guy has a good machine shop & said it is no problem, he has done it before.
