Like it says in the subject field: I'm doing a complete restoration on a 1946 Delta model 880 bandsaw and I need help in Taxachusetts. I have the sucker about 1/2 apart but need to press? the bearing off that holds the top wheel on. Or I need to pull it. I dunno. Help. I don't have a press or a puller and I'm friggin broke. I'd like to keep metal cutting capabilities but the middle pulley shaft (the one that engages the gear box) leaks.
Anyone resto one of these around here? I know I need some help. I think I need a puller. I also want to repaint the whole thing so I'd like to blast all the rusty paint off instead of just wirebrushing/sanding. Anyone around here have a sand/glass blaster I could borrow or rent for cheap?
I'm in Natick.
TIA
