Comments:
A $5 barn find in southern Illinois. We (dad and i) refurbished it, including turning a new upper spindle, pressing in new cintered bronze bearings, completing the upper guide with a new bearing, fabricating a new bearing lower guide (original was m.i.a.), bead blasting (except machined surfaces) and repainting to match original colors. I put new tires on it and built a new base. The original round belt pulley is cast into the lower wheel. An 8" v-belt pulley was added at some point. It works great.
If you have any information on the saw or the Bradley manufacturer, please email me at phubbman@yahoo.com.
