Missing part/parts

[mailman57]

I’m trying to restore an old band saw. There is nothing on it to indicate the manufacturer. I don’t know what part is needed to raise and lower the wheel. If anyone knows what is missing I’d appreciate the feedback.

Maybe a roll pin or bolt in the shaft just above the handwheel. Maybe there is supposed to be a sleeve there, pinned to the shaft.

Just guessing.

Got a picture that shows more … ?

It is threaded in the raise/lower mechanism as well as the web just above the handwheel as pictured?

Seems to me the pin needs to be above some element of the frame to do any work. I don't see any signs of wear to say it's in the lower half, and it doesn't seem long enough to fit above the upper half. The fixed element wants to be trapped between the hand wheel and the pin.

I expect it would need to be inside the 2 webs.

sure looks to me like the shaft has a hole in it for a (roll pin) and the inside of the casting web shows a spot where a thrust washer used to be , before it got splattered with paint

contact Iturra Design and get a catalog. Used to be 904 642-2802 or [email protected]. Your picture is the tensioning assembly . You may be missing the tracking arm or equivalent for your machine as well as the tensioning wheel and upper wheel axle assembly and the spring.

Good luck

After looking at pictures on the forum it’s definitely an ARCADE bandsaw; just no ID anywhere on it.
