Well I finally got my 8" Crescent jointer home

It is all torn down and all loose parts have been glass bead blasted. I have found a few things that I am looking for help with. After picking up this heavy machine from a buddy that is a welder I see that one of the webs that connect the sides on the out feed side is broken. It just needs to be welded and a buddy said he would fix it for me.

Some one has cut one of the bearing caps off and installed bearings on one side. I have a machinist friend coming over to check it out for me. I think If I can I will convert the head to bearings on both sides. I think that the cap that has been cut will hold the bearing.
