Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
EDIT: And still trying to reconcile the mothership with the bolt hole for the modern eccentric safety washer, with all old and broken parts inside it. Am I on the right track? In order to answer that I need details of what that is. If you are getting a new idler shaft/bearings, the new eccentric is...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
IF 'running good' the the objective new parts is the path. By being 'servicable' I meant usable. What I would use to determine replacing the movable sheaves is the amount of wear to the key slot and/or the bore. Backlash on the shaft/wobble on the shaft. JR rebuild kit? Who/what is JA. Sorry, Jacob...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
For the motor shaft key, I would go to your local hardware store and get 1/8 x 1/8 keystock and cut to length. It has no unusual features. I think the floating sheave is serviceable unless the keyway is worn making it wider. The height wear should not be an issue. What would you do to service it? P...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
The quill pinion gear looks serviceable to me. The way tube bores will likely clean up nicely(I consider the fit non-critical). Yes repairing will be cheaper. Actually I am glad the control sheave bearing is seized. The control sheave keyway is likely tapered and the reason for the excessive clanki...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
I am beginning to think this was an assemblage of broken parts with the 1981 serial and parts mated with the ?-85ish-? gray spatter paint finish. 25 - Motor sheaves looked good at first. It was really difficult to pull the outer sheave off, then saw the bent key. How does this happen? Is crud buildi...

Bearings and Assemblies from eBay, Jacob Anderson, etc
Can anyone verify a source for the idler bearing spindle that bandsaw-tire-warehouse is selling on eBay? Also the one that Jacob Anderson is selling with his DVDs and parts through his YouTube videos and website? Are they selling the same product? I've gone over-budget already in purchasing, not exp...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
How much is that new power center? :eek: Pictures: 20 - I see what you are referring to now. The bearing is seized at the end of the sleeved 21 - I used a Park Tool spanner wrench to separate the plastic sleeve from the splined shaft. The bearings are shot as expected. I also measured the single bea...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
Disassembly almost complete. It looks like all the guts need replaced. I got the broken eccentric safety bolt drilled, tap set, no small tap arms to turn it. Hardware store again, keep fingers crossed. As for those pins you referenced, I got a bunch of muck out Thanks for the continued help. Let's g...

Re: 1st SS! Neused MkV Video - Bearings, belt, lube, all 3?
Have you discovered the pointy set screw that positions the bearing within the eccentric? Not yet. The bearing should just move with the eccentric, correct? My hammer taps on the screwdriver to loosen the ecc hopefully didn't damage it. Once loosened, it rotated with my climber's tendon strength. :...
