Hello everyone. I didn't even know they had a Shopsmith forum until about an hour ago! I purchased a 500 from a buddy of mine at work. I'll be fixing it up and posting my progress. Wish me luck!

Welcome to the forum!
Here are a few helpful links for getting started.
1. First, mickyd's catalog of repair discussions on this forum. The Sawdust Sessions are the second bullet and walk you through cleaning and lubricating the headstock. Also, check out the restoration threads.
2. Ebay is a great place for replacement parts and you can sometimes get them new from Shopsmith, Inc. for about the same price.
3. I HIGHLY recommend acquiring a copy of "Power Tool Woodworking for Everyone" as it has much user information in it and a lot of great ideas for jigs and homemade accessories. Other literature you may need is a manual, which is available from Shopsmith or you can download digital copies from the 1950's here.
4. Here's Nick Engler's disassembly and cleaning instructions.
5. Shopsmith Most Common Problems and Remedies
6. Instructions for posting photos. Post lots!
Lastly, the "search" function on this forum is a powerful tool for finding help when you need it. Just be sure to enter words with four letters or more.
All the best.
