xmas special

Added pictures

My father has this saw in Marlborough NH and it is in very good condition. Open to offers. Pics attached

My father has a Bridgeport milling machine in his home garage. He is moving and is not sure what kind of company would be familiar with moving such type of equipment to a different home in another state. Have you used a company to transport machines of this type? Please share any relevant...

Well I got it off. Man that was kinda hard and a little sketchy. But, I figured it was basically useless as it was so I couldnt really make it worse. Slide hammer with a welded nut on failed quickly, too small of a bolt/nut. Ended up welding 3 large nuts on and then using a 3 jaw puller on...

Okay cool thanks I will see if I can get it off today and hopefully everything still works!

Yeah, I probably will end up welding something on and smashing on it. Any comments on the way the shaft spins without the hub spinning?

Did this, the whole shaft spins while the hub stays still. It feels really weird, it is hard to turn and then loosens up some, then tightens again. Feels like a pressure fit of some type. The cone does not spin on the shaft, must have been on there for a long time and is seized somewhat...

The whole shaft is somehow spinning while the hub is not. It seems bad possibly very bad. The cone won’t budge on the shaft and I’m not sure what to do to get in there . Is the hub just press fit on the shaft ? Can I just pull if off with a puller? I don’t want to kill this thing... :confused:

In my saw it was the fuel line. The filter had come off and the line had rotted in some places. Maybe the ethanol is what does it.

Okay great I was wondering if the shaft came off easily. Will do that. Thank you so much for all the help. :bowdown:

So this shouldn’t be there? It does not want to move at all. I’m thinking of welding something to it so I can pull it with a slide hammer or something

Its nothing too obvious. The spring looks like it binds the last two coils or so where it meats the cone, but looks like its kind of supposed to. The cone is about 1 5/8 long Take a look at the pics <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/rNWwaf5" data-context="false" ><a...

Thanks guys. I looked in where the spring goes and there is some cone looking piece of metal that looks just like part of the shaft or something. I'll take a closer look and measurements and pictures tonight.

I was hoping that was the problem but I just went to try it and for some reason even tighting the wingnut super hard there is still a gap between the face of the wheel and the hub of the balancer. Also tried the front hub method and it wobbled up and down - i think it hits the face plate...
