I guess with all these thing its best to start with the Back story. The machine came from Hutch and was in his possession for some 14 years. Hutch had traveled all the way to Virginia to get this machine in 2001 in his quest for sanders. This was way before the inter web was the place to find these things. The machine is fairly Rare in fact there are only 3 of these on the vintage machinery site and this is one of them. There are other makers of this type sander but the Oliver 190 D is not seen that often and if it is its missing parts and very warn. The machine was in ruff shape and hutch did his best to get it running in his shop but never did the needed mechanical work. I payed a fair price but did complain.

the machine in 2001 as hutch got it

the Machine condition was bad on all levels. The base was cracked in half and held by a MDF base. The table edge had broken pieces and the body and table had so many holes drilled in over the years it looked like Swiss cheese. The swig arm for the idler pulley was broke in half and a very poor bass weld was done but the aliment was so bad they bolted a plate to the back that interfered with its travel. The misalignment had warn the wheel out of round as it did not run true. the rubber on the that wheel was .375 out of round.
the bearing had spun in the aluminium bore of the idler pulleys and it looked like this had been fixed at so point. The repair work was bad and the because they only changed the bearing after a poor re-bushing and did not work the bearing seat or cap ware the bearings were not held by the outer race and rocked like a guns and roses concert. the bushing that was pressed in the hub had cracked the pulley at one of the nut holes At the same time a new shaft was made but the interface fit was to large for the 6203 bearing that i had to heat the bearing red hot it get it off. the shaft was .003 to large for the bearing bore when compared to the OEM. The motor drive pulley was not stock and to large of an OD it ran the sander belt a 2 time the book speed SFPM. Motor was wired 440/3 and running on 208/3 with 208 switch gear.

here are some videos of that work if you wish to see.

Once i got past the all of the repairs It was time to bring the machine up to my standers.

first i had to fix the OEM opening in the table. Its was a ruff casting and I was surprised that Oliver left it that was. I mill the open with a hand held router with some help from the group here in Canada on the CWW fourm.

Here is the video of that

the switch gear was up next and i wanted some thing that would have been on the machine 70 years ago so went with an AB 709 that came with my Bursgreen jointer. All the cable restrains were custom made in brass to fix the cast electrical works. New brass grease cups were made even though i used sealed bearings. The Bakelite control switches were hammered so i added brass it clean them up. some of the handle and hardware were gun blackened too.

here is a video of the grease cups being made
