joebob80 Just wanted to share my new project and thank everyone now for all the great information and answers to my future questions.
chapmanruss Welcome to the Forum, That is a nicely equipped later Model 10ER. Not a lot of them have the Model 4E Jointer like yours. As for the What is this? next to the Lathe Tool Rest assembly it looks like something homemade that someone either used for a special purpose with their Shopsmith or it simply got thrown in with it. You also have the Shaper Fence that is for the Mark 5 but not everyone knows that it was made to work on the Model 10's too. It actually came out before the Mark 5. Below is a PDF of the original Owners Manual for it. Note it is being used on a Model 10ER. Enjoy your project and keep us posted. Shaper Fence 08-53.pdf
DLB I laughed out loud when I saw the price list at the end of that attachment. Only one part was more than a dollar. - David
joebob80 Hi Russ, thanks for the information. I'm amazed at how much information is available for something this old. I started collecting manuals that I've come across reading online and realized the 10ER is like a swiss army knife of wood working machine =). Step 1: Clean everything, my arms are already tired.
joebob80 Question 1 - Is there anything on the 10ER that require calibration that I should not undo or take apart? I'm always in a hurry to get my projects cleaned for inspection, I end up undoing something that was calibrated at the factoring with specialized tools that I cant reset.
BobCoates1953 This "As for the What is this? next to the Lathe Tool Rest assembly " is a stand alone device used to sharpen circular saw blades.The wire was use to set the distance to next tooth and then a file was used to file each tooth. The saw blade was mounted on the front and passed up through the roller. Height was adjusted by the screw shaft. Used several time about 40 45 years ago. Probably use only dozen times. Wouldn't be very useful with the carbide blades.

BobCoates1953 Joebob80, Copied the instructions on how to use the saw, but not sure they will show up. Had to reduce to get attached. Bob [attachment=2]$matches[2][/attachment] [attachment=1]$matches[2][/attachment] Here is a PDF file SawSharpner.pdf
chapmanruss joebob80, Bob answered the what is it and it's nice to see he found the paperwork for that. As for your question 1. No, there is not anything on the 10ER that requires factory calibration. The only thing I don't completely dissemble is the motor for obvious reasons. It does get a good clean out, new power cords, switch and even bearings if needed plus a paint job. The rest gets dissembled down to the last set screw. The Speed Changer's Floating Pulley Assembly was listed in it's manual as needing to be factory set. You can set it yourself. So go ahead and take her apart to make her pretty again. Once you get your Model 10ER back together there will be alignments to do. You said you were collecting Manuals you found online. I hope you have not been buying copies of any manuals at online auctions since they are available for free. Check under the Maintenance and Repair section for Shopsmith Large Format Drawings, Illustrations and More by Everett Davis. This will be one of the first three topics. In it you will find a wealth of information on the Shopsmith tools. Some are directly linked there and others are on “My Google Drive” with documents too large to be directly linked. Everett has become the Shopsmith historian by saving and restoring manuals and other documents. Under 10E & 10ER Magna are manuals and other information for the Model 10's. The restored Manual Magna 10ER restored will cover your Shopsmith 10ER.

As for the manuals, I've been downloading them for free from several different websites including the ones you mentioned. I'm noticing slight variance in the manuals, so I'm downloading and reading everything.
joebob80 Question 2 - Any suggestion on getting this set screw out? I sprayed Blaster lub on it yesterday and still not budging. Planning to heat it tomorrow.
JPG Hot allen wrench? I will go look for details. Here tis: https://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewtopic.php?p=238287#p238287
chapmanruss The Manuals differ over the time the Shopsmith Model 10E and 10ER were made from 1947 through 1953. Changes and Improvements were the reason. Some parts were the same on all Model 10's whereas others had several versions. The Headstock had the most versions I have found at 7. The Manual I suggested should be the closest one for your Model 10ER. For removing the set screw try the suggestion from the link JPG provided. Do make sure to clean out the hole of any debris with a dental type pick as much as possible to get the Allen Wrench in as far as possible. Some set screws and attachments can be very stubborn. Even with the set screw out it may still take some work to get the Arbor off the Spindle.
joebob80 Thanks for the suggestions. I will look in to it later today and let you guys know how it goes.
