Rewired it today, checked it out, ripped a couple lengths of old wood… Needs a new belt but runs quiet and strong!!! Not bad for a freebie, eh? *grin* I’ll clean it up, graphite the gears, heck, maybe even restore it next winter when I’ve nothing else to do. And… parts are still available out there! A few are missing.

  1. I have just inherited the exact same saw from my grandfather. I would love to restore the saw, but I dont know where to find parts. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks ~Nick
