Hi;
Go the new web page and put your cursor on "support" and then drop down to the "serial number" tab for a list of serial numbers and manufacturing dates.

According to the paperwork I have there were a couple changes made to the way the spring was secured. The first models had a threaded motor shaft with a threaded nut to hold the spring in place.

My other greenie (SN: 291340) has the threaded motor shaft (see attached). There is no washer between the spring and nut. How in the world would you compress the spring to get the nut on?

Also the mot0r appears to have holes in the casing all around it. I assume for cooling (see second attached).

Sincerely,

[quote="wa2crk"]Hi]
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/faq/markv.htm takes you to a higher level of detail. When you get there scroll down for the serial numbers. This level of detail is available for a number of the other SPT.

Here's one way!
[ATTACH]9748[/ATTACH]

Socket mounted in chuck mounted on ss output shaft, use quill to position socket/nut, depressing spring, manually rotate motor pulley to advance nut. Motor sitting on board sitting on way tubes. Nut spaced inside socket so as to be at open end of socket.

Precise alignment important!;)

I use the following to depress the newer type(clip).

Do you remember if there was a washer present between the nut and spring?

Dave

Yes, I do remember.

Yes It did have a washer. It is visible in the pix, but you cannot distinguish it from the spring.

That was an e-bay procured motor, so its history is unknown. The bearings were good, but I replaced them anyway. The motor was full of sawdust though.
