Joel you should use the Completed Magna Model 10E Restored Owner's Manual and not the Preliminary MAGNA Shopsmith Manual Restored which came with those original 250 tools. So if i am understanding you - this machine came from the east factory and was not part of the original 250 for Wards since tho...

I am a little late commenting here since I was on vacation and returned home yesterday. Vacation also includes no computer. :cool: Just a couple things I wanted to add. John mentioned the Manual is available on Everett's google drive through Shopsmith Large Format Drawings, Illustrations and More ....

E-1143 is the earliest Eastern Plant serial number I have seen but being from the Eastern Plant it is a later Model 10E. Around the time the Eastern Plant started production the Western Plant began using the R prefix for serial numbers. Prior to that the serial numbers did not have a prefix and lat...

No prior rebuild on mine - ju...

This thing - Screenshot_20220724-134916_Gallery.jpg Is obviously a handle for tightening a nut inline. It reminds me of a small version of the one that controls the saw table tilt - 20220724_133416.jpg Could it go to something else like the saw guard maybe? 20220724_132404.jpg No. As I said before ...

#2 Is a clip often used with a pin on a receiver type trailer hitch or extensively used on tractors and such. Probably not required on a Model 10. Depends a bit on the size, usually goes through a hole in a 5/8" or larger pin. Example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/TowSmart-Class-3-5000-lb-X-Mou...

Do you have a manual for your machine? That will help you see where parts go. If not go to the Maintenance and Repair topic. At the top there is a thread called "Shopsmith Large Format Drawings, Illustrations and More". You will find a downloadable manual there and a whole lot more. Not s...

It looks very similar to the soldering tip for an old Bernz torch shown at this site. The 4th closeup pic shows this kind of part with the tip attached. Brass body torches used to come with a set of tips including a flame spreader and soldering tip. Nailed it! Screenshot_20220724-174315_Chrome.jpg ...
