Here are the pix. My dad got me interested in wood when I was a child. We built a house of 2x4's that we got from the saw mill. The were 18-36 inches in length and we laid them like bricks. Elmers glue as mortor and 16 penny nails. We did the whole 2nd floor like that. We then hand hewn(hope I spelt that right) the beams for the 3rd floor. So I have used an Ads and other tools growing up. Just a little brief as to why I have a need to work with wood. I have 7 years till I retire and I need to start building my shop and tool collection while I have a steady income. I watch everything I can find on woodworking and I want my work to be good, with folks like you helping I don't have a chance to mess up.. I didnt take a picture of the hand crank that I have but it is the same size as the motor mount.

Pix helped greatly! If the 'extra' crank included the housing/plate shaped like the one on the feed motor, it definitely be an extra manual feed crank.

It appears there is a connector hub on the power input shaft.(not easy to determine for sure)

You should have the two way tube clamps and wing bolts that secure it to the Mark 5/V. If not, a substitute may be easily made.

Notice the indentations along the bottom edge. These are where it sits on ss way tubes.

BTW: Make sure that $100 ss in NOT a model 10(10E 10ER). Tube spacing is different, and the motors were <= 1/2 hp.

I thought I'd share a pix of the $100.00 machine.

It be a Mark 5. It be a collection of what appears to be repainted parts.

I think the 'seller' should know the size of the motor(or who ever assembled this would).

$100 good price if it works properly and has the 1 1/8hp motor. Not all standard accessories are shown in the pix, but for $100, go for it!
