Howdy all.
My '54 unisaw arbor bracket broke one day. After finding a new one I've discovered why it broke. The motor mount bracket is frozen. I pulled the guts out and the MMB doesn't move (pivot) inside the yoke. It should swing inside the yoke for the limited amount of travel, correct? I've soaked it for a day in kroil and now in wd40 for a more oily touch, tapped it with a mallet and it doesn't budge. It doesn't appear rusty in there. Any suggestions? Keep soaking, heat?
I've had the saw a few years and I wasn't planning to restore it but I guess I will now...since everything is apart.
Thanks, Mark
