Popular Post Cmtpdxtn Posted October 2 Popular Post Report Posted October 2 I’m in the process of restoring an original 1943 Oliver 133BD 6” jointer, I've taken it all down to bare metal and added a zinc base before putting on the heavy duty enamel. I just have the motor and body left so I should be done in the next week or two. The motor is original and still runs like a top! Larry Buskirk, JWD, Grandpadave52 and 4 others 5 1 1 Quote
