Thanks, dave_t!
Heath,
How is the rebuild coming??? I have one set of casters completely apart and cleaned/polished. They don't look anything like the one JPG posted but considering they were in horrible rusty shape they look sweeeeet now. I was able to salvage them completely. I also was able to polish the mounts to a very bright chrome shine like the ones in JPG's pic. I thought having them bright and shiny would be more appealing than painted and looking at JPG's pic I am glad I did that as they do look real nice contrasting the legs. I have to ship off the rest of my body parts to the dry stripping place down the street as i got tired of trying to strip the paint off everything manually. Just too labor intensive for my tastes and some of the nooks and crannies I just can't get to with anything useful so I threw in the towel and will pay to have them stripped. At least when i get them back all I have to do is prime them and paint them. I am itching to put this thing back together but it is going to be a little while yet.
I am pretty sure I have a 3/4 HP motor and I have not decided whether I should try and get a fleabay 1 1/8 HP motor or stick with the 3/4 HP??? Anyone have any opinions on this????
