Found them from Frank. Thanks

Good idea- Ill probably order news one but while im waiting i might as well see if I can save these. Right now im looking for both the spindle and pulley bearings- so many choices, I think I remember a recommended link someone posted but I cant find it.

Did I ruin my bearings by soaking them in simple green? I was soaking some parts and forgot to remove them? They felt great so was not planning to replace at this time. Ugh. Thanks

Sorry for the delay- but here you go. Let me know if you need more.

Will get it this evening

I have this machine and could take pictures and measurements for you- either tonight or tomorrow.

Definitely swelling- they will not go back in that's for sure. Of course, my digital calipers battery dead- but ill take some measurements for the heck of it.

Well success!! Looks like the zamac sleeves suffered and have some stress cracks. But for now I can move forward.

Im stuck here- I've heated them, pounding the **** out of them, even tried using a socket and in a vise. They dont move!! Any suggestions- how hot can I get them without risking the cast iron? Thanks

Ah got it- thanks. The sleeves in the lift look like Zamac also- is that why they are hard to get out?

Thanks-Good news the gears look great. It took about three hours to get them off the collum- 2x4 and a hammer. Getting these collum locks out is not easy also- ill let them soak a few days. What are the steel lock sleeves?

Been following this thread for years- Thanks for all the great info. This guy followed me home last week after I spotted it on FB- $100 I've been after a table lift since I first saw them on here years ago. I also have a vari-slo i picked a few years ago. The plan is restore one of them will all...

Jeff just recently found your channel, ive learned some things and really enjoying it. I just picked up the 113.2426 band saw you have pictured above- any chance you do a video of that build?
