Ok, Start of a long project. Picked up a old Johnson model B band saw today. Once picked up drove back to home (3 hours due to traffic), Then started the chore of clean and take apart. Sorry did not get pic before initial cleaning. But shortly after. Found the bouncing ride on my little trailer did a lot to loosen some of the bolts, Much more and I would have lost a couple. Got some pics of the tear down have it about 90 percent torn down. Have not taken Motor, Hydraulics, or the gear box apart yet. But know I have to, once the gear box out, Found that the output shaft has about 0.050 play in it, and the hydraulic cylinder has a bunch of play around the shaft and did not do any thing to control the down force of the saw. Lets it drop almost like a rock.
As you can tell still a bit of gunk on it. Will have to figure out what best to clean it off with. Paint and all.
Motor removed first, Will work on it separately.
Gained a little helper in my grandson
He wanted to help so bad.
Finally had to pull out some extra equipment.
It is coming apart piece at a time.
Now the fun, Cleaning it all will have to do some work on rust, Electrolysis on big pieces, and a bit of evaporust on the small stuff like bolts etc. In the mean time finding missing parts, and rebuild of others.
wish me luck.
