With my first shaper I got spare parts because a guy had used the rest of it to make some other machine out of it for a company.
I got a spare rarchet amongst the parts so I am going to put it on the table rise and fall on the one with the under drive.
How much did you get that one for? I bought my first with spares for $350 local and the second for $300 about 200K's away. I have seen them fetch $1000 and over on ebay.
Both of mine are the clutch ball bearing models, but the spares where off a non clutch plain bearing model.
A lot of people put a wheel on the shaft for exactly what you said, others put a wheel on the large pulley for the same reason.
Those rollers on the front of the table are add on's and not origonal.
