This is a photo of the saw where it sat outside in the Louisiana weather for many years. The green cast is not paint but algae growing on the rust. |
||
|
Note the table tilt lead screw. It is almost rusted completely in to. Also the pitting on the hand wheel handle. |

 |
The original motor. It along with every other moving part was frozen up. | ||
| This is a shot of the underside of the table showing the drive pulley, belts, and belt guard |

The saw going back together after many hours of electrolytic
rust removal, wire brushing, priming and painting. I had to replace the
table tilt lead screw, arbor drive sheave, table raise-lower miter gears,
table raise lower shaft, arbor bearings, motor mount pivot shaft, motor
sheave, hand wheel handles, raise-lower gib retainers, and many bolts.

| Front view. The compartment to the right of
the raise-lower hand wheel is for the motor contactor.
