Yes I had the belt off because that was the problem and the reason the shaft wasn't turning. It seemed to be caught in there. After I took it off I started the motor and it turned nice while sending clouds of dust out...and when I put the belt back on the main part finally turned that I could use it. But will not use it until it is cleaned and oiled properly. Now that I know the motor is good why kill it by not treating it right.

just went to start watching a video and mine is the same color as the one he is cleaning up here

Respectfully referred to as a "Goldie".

I love the sound of that... I respectfully own a 1962 Goldie.

Then it IS a 'Goldie'(also referred to as a 'Brownie'). This distinguishes it from earlier 'Greenies' and later Smooth grey(Magna American) and textured grey(Shopsmith, Inc.) versions.

Sounds like you are well on your to 'resurrecting' yours. Keep us 'posted'.
