Kevin Beitz Posted December 15, 2020 Report Posted December 15, 2020 A few days ago I stopped in our local junkyard to see whats new... I seen a Delta scroll saw in the trash... I seen that the head was missing. I never seen one this big in the junkyard before. I said to myself Wow. To bad the heads missing... Then I walked up to the tin pile and there was another guy unloading another saw just like the one below. The skid steer was pushing everything back to make more room. After the skid steer was finished I Looked what was left of the saw. I could not believe that It had what looked like a good head on it. Everything else got smashed up. so I walked back down to the lower pile and the skid steer was pushing everything back again to make room. I thought I was to late to save anything. When he was done this is what I found... Larry Buskirk, p_toad, FlGatorwood and 3 others 2 4 Quote

Popular Post Kevin Beitz Posted December 15, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Posted December 15, 2020 I took all the parts needed off the second machine. The only thing I did not have was a side cover and I bought one off E-bay... I also needed oil. Google says I need 10 weight. Harbor freight has air tool oil that's 10 weight. Guess I need to make a trip... It's slowly coming together. I took me 4 hours to get the legs straight again. Artie, DuckSoup, HandyDan and 8 others 11 Quote
