Nice unit. That does look clean and well taken care of. I believe that is a 500? (just to see if I am learning anything :D ) Am I right JPG?

I am too new into them to know the difference between 500, 510, and 520.
Yes, I was a big Babylon 5 fan in the 90s. Good show. Anything science fiction is good,and I watched Dr Who since 82.

It is an early Mark 5 Greenie with an "A" headstock and likely a Gilmer drive.


Very much like a Mark V 500.]are [/B]differences besides color.


P.S. There is much that is not original paint.

Everything has been repainted. He used two colors of krylon, and gave me the paint cans. The original owner passed on. Things he did: Change power cord, disasemble headstock and clean all the grit and so forth, and relube it. steel wool and wax the tubes. repaint all the green parts. soak all tooling in gasoline for a week.everything but the tool rest for the lathe is repainted. He changed the speed selector, because the work gears in it were stripped.

Yes it has I believe for both indoor or outside doors, However for cabinets, I usually prefer a quarter round for cabinet doors, and I use router.

I have the cabinet set, used it once for cabinets that called for special treatment.

More info:
Serial # 285554
That makes it a 1954
a 3/4 hp Franklin motor

The bad,
I went to use it today, and I evidently tried to adjust the speed to far and the drive belt came off. So I took the headstock apart, and determined the easiest way to put it on would be to take the bolt of the top of the motor, that was my mistake. Being on since 1954, the threads fused to the nut, and simply came off. Now I can't think of any way, short of replacing the motor with a GE ebay unit. Any one have any ideas?
The sickness is spreading:
Mark V greenie 1954
Mark V goldie 1962 (I think)
Mark V grey 1978
Shopsmith attachments: 2 Jig Saws, Bandsaw, Jointer, Planer. Shaper tooling, many adapters, arbors, etc.

What 'bolt'?

I believe you have a sticking sheave on the motor shaft. Belts do not just come off due to speed adjustments (unless the floating sheave is stuck).

Have you gone through a complete lube of the headstock?

BTW sticking sheaves can cause the quadrant gear teeth to become deformed.

Also nothing need be 'removed' to replace the motor belt. Moved, yes, removed, no.
