I ran a bit of 4/4 locust today and had to push pretty fast to get it to start to bog.
She runs well and is stronger than I thought after seeing 1hp on side of motor. Replaced the belts with some new ones that have no slack in them, and that made for a pretty tight fight around the motor mount! Only got about $30-40 in it so far to get it running.better than I thought it'd be when I saw it sitting in a garage where we picked it up. Found some proper mounting bolts for the motor and the top and got it all together after a bit of a fight getting the motor lined up in the mount. Thanks to all that offered insight and advice. Got her purring like an well-aged feline this morning. Overall a bit rough around the edges, but hopefully she'll go together like we want tomorrow and we'll be sawing soon! Any comments and advice welcome! Anybody able to read the SN and figure out when it was manufacture and if this is original motor? For some reason I thought Unisaws has 3 or 5 hp motors, but this tag reads 1 hp. Hopefully this is the right motor, and it's not toast.
Going to Lowe's tonight to pick these up so if I'm wrong on size, any help would be greatly appreciated! Looks like the top has 4 fine threads that line up with some mounting points on the frame. There's a 1/2" non-threaded hole, and also a threaded hole that is 7/16" fine threads? the best I can tell. The mount point inside saw looks like line up with the motor. The motor wasn't mounted where we found it, and there were no mounting bolts to be found. It's on loan to us for the time being, and we're hoping to get it up and running tomorrow to start ripping some 4/4 black locust for outdoor deck boards. The saw belongs to a friend of my business partner who passed away some years back and has been sitting in a neighbor's garage for a while.
