Replace Lower Wheel Bearing on Sears 12" #113.24200 Bandsaw

[steven c newman]

Can't do a whole lot, right now......have a small "creek" going across the shop floor.....had a "Gulley Washer" come through town.....basement where the shop is....has a ground water problem in heavy rain storms...

Will update when things dry out a bit...(at least the drain worked great...)

Modified the top of my bench....for a little while...

Didn't want anything to roll away and hide...

Old shaft was torn down...had rings, key stock and a few other things that didn't need to roll away

Bearings looked good, spacer did too...rings will be good for now....the shaft?

Laying beside it's replacement...even the keyways were too worn to hold the keys in place....took a while, but got things back together

Then installed in the saw..

Wheels were installed....1/4" blade added...AFTER I ran just the wheels for a bit...then rechecked the set screws to make sure they were tight

Haven't swapped out the motors, yet. The Craftsman one is starting right up, no issues...for now.

This may have been the cause of a lot of the troubles?

I still may swap out the motors...no rush right now...
