Restoring my 55' Greenie

[backhertz]

Got this off of Jacob Anderson's web site:
Should I upgrade to the Poly V drive system?

In many ways the Gilmer system is superior to the Poly V system so if your headstock has a gilmer drive, I would keep it that way.

The quill and drive sleeve contact securely metal to metal with the Gilmer. The quill and drive sleeve meet with a sacrificial plastic drive ring assembly with a Poly V drive.

When the used the Harbor Freight puller, I am wondering if I would damage the bearing.
It pulled the outer race rather than the inner.


Belows is the Gilmer drive:

That be a 'normal' gilmer plastic dust shield.

That be a 'normal' gilmer plastic dust shield.

That's why there is a lot of wood dust in the quill.

So you think I can reassemble the drive assembly without the piece of protection plastic tube?

Where can I get one? Shopsmith?


Thanks.

The motor make a little noise when I turned by hand.

Is this noise normal?

When I turn on the electrical power it sound like this.
I could hear a click sound @ 00:26 second after I turned the switch off.

From the sound, can we decide if the motor is good or bad.

The click on shut down is normal. It is the sound of the centrifugal switch resetting. The running noise, as far as I can tell, sounds normal. I generally check a motor on the bench without the fan sheave or the belly pan. The pan has a tendency to amplify sound. If you remove the fan sheave for a test don't run the motor for more than thirty seconds at a time cause without the fan the motor will heat up rapidly. Sounds good though.

I heard nothing 'abnormal'. Steel on steel(bearings) makes noise. Click is definitely the start switch.

I agree with Bill!!!!
