Re: Mark 2 Help
Both parts are broken, the Tie Bar and Carriage mount. It look like it was maybe dropped at some point or someone put something heavy on the table. I’m kinda leaning toward putting the motor on the gray one and switching the wood and pipe tubes around.

Re: Mark 2 Help
Finally got a chance to pick up the second Mark 2 this evening. It was for sale around Wichita, KS and the guy brought it to the Kansas City area for me to meet him. Still an hour drive but it was better than just getting a few parts and paying the shipping. Here is a picture of the one I picked up....

Re: Mark 2 Help
I downloaded the user manual (that will be very helpful!) and have gotten lucky. I found one for sale close to me that I can take the parts off and make one complete one out of it.

Now, if I can come up with a pulley, I’ll probably go ahead and order the mount and motor and see if this thing will work. Unfortunately, I d...

Re: Mark 2 Help
Hey Chapmanruss, That’s great to know it doesn’t really matter what motor I get. I found some for a little under $200 which I think would be reasonable. I’m still a little confused on how it mounts. I have the Apron but not the mount that is in the pictures of the listing. Is there anyway you could ...

Mark 2 Help
Hi everyone, I just got a Mark 2 from my Uncle last weekend. I think almost everything is there except the motor, mount, and pulley (and the belts). He said they were stollen several years ago and he never bothered replacing them. From what I’ve read, I know this isn’t really a good model but I don’...
