I purchased this band saw from ebay a couple of months ago. Had planned on saving the rebuild till winter
but got excited and started early. The saw was very dirty when I got it. I took it completey apart and cleaned, painted.
The band saw has the slow speed motor and back gear unit for metal cutting. I painted with a different color
that the original a moss green color. I made a new safety guide but plan on making another that looks more like the original. I had to take the back gear unit apart and cleaned and repack with grease. I replaced the upper tire bearings and repacked the lower tire bearings. The roller guides were in pretty bad shape so I took apart and cleaned and repacked. Overall a easy rebuild just took some time.
