Look on the picture just above that one, It is for the stop on the table tilt. Bolt replaced, longer that required.

One puzzling question, How does the saber saw support (134-13) work, as I see a hole in the post and a adjusting jam nut. I don't see anything on what it does or how it's hooked up to anything even in the manual.

Here is a picture of how it mounts from Power Tool Woodworking for Everyone, 1st edition.

Thank you all for the wonderful reply! I was scratching my head wondering if that bolt was the OEM one that should be there or not. I guess my friends father either broke or lost the original bolt. I will most likely use the one off the extra 10ER that I have. Thanks Ron for the picture of the saber saw support. Now I see where it goes.

Just messing around with the 12 inch disc sander attachment after repainting, and a temporary sticker on one of the legs. Here are some pictures!

Good that it is 'temporary'.
That stuff will be in the way when raising to vertical.

Gotcha JP,
I'm going to make a small wooden box to hold my ShopSmith extras! I just keep that stuff there so they don't get lost. But I do see your point LOL! I was originally talking about the sticker taped to the leg end.

Nice. And you even got all three spacers with the saw arbor,

one of the thin ones often gets misplaced.

Okay guys. My new addition to my 10ER. Just picked up a model 620 for $120 Bucks. Not a bad price! Really great shape! Here are pictures of the 620 before and after the painting. The 620 is now looking good in its new color to match the 10ER. Considering how old these machines are, this one was not bad at all. Parts were cleaned and polished and the knifes were sharpened. Bearings will be replaced sometime down the road. They are not that bad. Very happy with the results. I'd like to thank Russ for the information he had given to me earlier to get the 620.

Looks great! That red Magna logo on the porkchop really pops.
How are you mounting and driving it?

Waiting for my SPT adapters to arrive then I can get it ready. Also waiting for Skip to respond to see if he still has the special headstock pully available or the lower 5" pully. I have the lower pully kit it just need the 5" pully. I think the direct drive from the headstock would be better cause you can control the RPM's of the blades with the speed control. thanks for the comments!!
