Here is what mine looks like after I got it cleaned up. It was pretty nasty, a retired production machine. Ugly but still in decent condition. I bought this machine for a gear project that didn't materialize so I have to confess I've not run it more than a couple test cuts. I do have the table feed parts but not installed. They need some repair which is probably the reason it was retired. 3-5209 S/N.
My horizontal spindle drive is enclosed in the base and top castings. Yours is outside the machine? My table feed drive belt is off the back of the spindle, is that what you refer to? Just curious. If you need any photos or anything from my machine to help you with yours let me know, I'll try to help.
