Howdy... first post here... I picked up a 1933 South Bend 9 quick change and I'm going through it right now.... cleaning years of grime and grease... I finished cleaning the saddle, apron, quick change gearbox and open gears on the end... I replaced the half nuts with a set off a 1926 one... they didn't have the detent in them so if filed it in...
now after starting and stopping it many times while testing I have noticed that sometimes when I start the motor it just hums... I quickly turn it off and rotate the motor slightly and it starts right up...
It really happens most of the time... sometimes it starts up fine...
Any ideas what could be causing this? is it a case of cleaning something? or is the motor in need of repair... there are several similar GE motors locally on Craigslist for $20-$40 so I have options...
thanks in advance...
