Morning Gents, My TH-42 is table mounted on a heavy steel bench I bought a used countershaft for it and it is bolted to the table behind the machine its on a spacer about 1 1/4 thick that came with it. I looked at the manuals and they don't show a spacer. The reason I ask is it has an old ad a link belt on it and I want to order the correct belts for it and want to be sure to get the right one's. Its seems that it would work without the spacer just fine. TJ

Most likely some PO just wanted it higher. If the parts are all original, then it should work OK without it. At least one or two of the 10F manuals in Downloads should include the hole drilling template for mounting the Horizontal Countershaft. Check the hole positions.
