70 Year old table saw stopped turning and now the motor just hums - Let's Figure This Out

- This table saw belonged to my wife's grandfather, so keeping it running is important to us.
The best manufacturing date I could find for this model was 1951.
This is not a "How To" video, just me working on the table saw.

There’s few feelings as satisfying as restoring a wonderful vintage tool. My dad’s 1960s Craftsman 113 table saw is still serving me well after 60 years.
I have that exact same table set-up motor and everything and I'm an electrician, retired. Glad I came across this video
I did the same with my Dad's '70's model 3hp Craftsman table saw. It had been sitting in storage after my Dad passed (several years), my Mom called me and asked if I wanted it. I went back to California, brought it back to Albuquerque along with his14" bandsaw and 6" jointer all Craftsman products. The table had rusted and the arbor bearings were frozen. I tore it down completely. Rebuilt everything, new bushing, bearings, screws, etc. Took the motor to a local rebuilder,. cleaned everything and re-assembled it. I also bought precision machined Pulleys and a link belt from In-Line Industries. Cleaned the cast iron table, calibrated and aligned it. The saw is powerful, accurate, smooth and quiet, the only plastic is the blade guard. I don't care what anyone says, there is not a better manufactured machine anywhere. BTW, the total investment was around $150 and some equity sweat. The Craftsman name was once the highest quality and most economical for the normal consumer, now everything is cheaply made highly priced, what happened to American quality?
I use car wax to keep them rust free
Thank you so much. Very useful info.
Very good job Sir ! Good job indeed.😊 I also think grand Pa would approve.
Nice job. I have a 1969 Craftsman 113 with 3 of those cast wings (plus a new router table extension) and the trick is to make sure to oil the bearings at least a couple times a year. Still going strong. I'm sure I'll need to service the brushes soon and hope to convert it to 220V if it allows (more efficient, more power). I did replace the fence/rail system with a new Delta one. Night and day difference!
BTW... I have a Rockwell 4" jointer almost like that one you have. Again, dates back to late 60s or very early 70s. All came from my dad's shop. Small, but actually very useful for my needs (cabinets & trim builds).
Too funny, I also have my wife's grandfather's tools, including an Atlas jointer that I am afraid of.
My Craftsman table saw I got from a neighbor who was hauling it to the curb and agreed to keep it for me until I could get back with a 2-wheeler.
But the 113 10" metal lathe, 2 wood lathes, radial arm saw, band saw, planes, miter boxes, chisels, clamps all were family items
I like the patina on my tools and only repair them to the point that I can use them.
Being the "guy who could use them" I came into my father's tools. my uncle's, great uncles, my mother's second husband's,and my wife's grandfather's.
Plus I had plenty of my own.
I haven't used all of them, but have used a lot and you never know what you might need some day.

I also received a bunch of planes. Next summer my schedule should be lighter and I have a number of hand tools I want to restore.
GREAT STORY. I tell a few on my channel too.
I'll check out your channel
He would be so proud!
Good video. Just a tip for your next time...get some Evaporust in gel form, on Amazon, and apply it to the motor shaft overnight. Next day wipe clean with hot water (cleans the black oxidation build up), then spray with CRC SP350, LPS-2, wax, or other rust preventative.
Thanks for the advice. I still use the saw a few times a month so your advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you
This video was a Great Find for me! I'm grateful to you for making it! My saw is a 11327521 model; I'm guessing its from either the late 50s or early to mid 60s? Info on this has been sorta hard for me to sift through. At any rate, I am 68 yrs. old, and I'm thinking my saw and I are about the same age. The saw I have has what appears to be the same fence as yours, and nearly the same "Built like a Tank" motor. Do these motors have an oil port at each end for the bearings? I bought my saw for $40 a few weeks ago. It was missing a few parts (table insert, belt, & fence), and I had planned to put the cast iron extension wings on my newer" early 80s Craftsman saw, and scap the old saw and base. After messing around with the older saw, and seeing how well built it is, the newer saw is now on craigslist. Thanks again for the video and story within it!
I got a table saw the motor looks just like my dad's I have the exact same thought I want to get the motor rebuilt
Most major cities have a place that will re-build motors. In some cases, they even have one already to go.
My fathers' 1950 ish Delta Milwaukee Homecraft tablesaw has just done the same thing. And I feel the same way about keeping it working with all the original parts. Thanks for the video it is not such a daunting task now. Could you make a comment on the different sprays that you used? Thanks.
For basic cleaning I use WD40 and a green scratch pad. Then I used regular car paste wax, any brand will do. That will help keep the surface rust from forming.
@@LetsFigureThisOut Thanks! I start the project tomorrow.
