Hi folks
I got an old Sears Roebuck & Co ban saw Mo. No.103-0103. This thing looks to be as old as dirt.
Tho with a good cleaning and a little crud removal, It seems to be in really good shape bearing and guides wise, but the tires are dry rotted.
I recall a posting of a website that the older and odd sizes could be had, but not being the best with the web thing. I'm hoping someone could piont me in the direction to find replacements for this critter. I would love to put this thing back to work.
With regards, Lamar....Who seems to spend more time rehabing old tools lately than using them. |

A great resource for information about old tools is www.owwm.com
Here's another resourse, http://www.woodmachines.com/machparts.htm where someone with a similar machine is looking for parts also 
Based on the Model # that is a King-Seely made machine for Sears, and it probably dates back to the 40's

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Lamar,
Do we get to see before and after photos? It just feels good to see an old machine brought back for another life.
Ray

Thanks to DaveO and Mark for the web sites and phone number. I'll be checking them out.
And yes Ray I'll get a couple before and after photos.
I can't help myself when it comes to an old tool of any kind. I have found that if one has the time, in the end you have a better tool and far less money than a new one. To say nothing of the satisfaction.
Regards, Lamar | |
