I have a Craftsman DP which have already posted here about in re: Owner's Manual
Still looking for a correct manual for the DP Model No. 351-226150
Got one from eBay which was very close to my Model No.
ebay manual buy was a bust. The "index" page references as to content did not
match what was on the corresponding pages. I think the manual was a "Frankendocument"
You could see where the staples in the center sig/pages had been removed and not totally recrimped
The only apparent difference in the machine/s was the eBay manual DP had a
crank table height adjustment and mine doesn't. To me that is not a problem;
but the fact that the table is frozen up as far as being able to tilt it is.
The index pin and large bolt have been sitting on my bench for a long time now
and I have been soaking the holes where the pin and the bolt go
with PB Blaster every time I go by the DP then let sit over night and try to move
next morning. No go.
So far have avoided pounding on the table with ball peen hammer and
wood block. I have tried light taps on the back of the table with hard wood block
since it looks like the table has somehow gotten "pressed" up onto the angle adjustment
plate on the housing possibly shimming and jamming up the motion.
Won't know about that one till I get it freed up and see if there is marking on
the angle plate. Anyway I am going to continue going slow with this as I have put a fair
amount of time into bringing this thing back. Not up to you guys standards or OWWM
but for me pretty intensive
If anyone has experienced this and has some input about how to free this thing up
without cracking the table or otherwise ruining the DP would appreciate the info.
