That would be great, I'll get you the serial number later today when I get home.  Sounds like it should be fairly easy to do, but yes, I'll need to know some measurements.

Would the casters transfer over? The old base is narrower so I wasn't sure.

Finally transferred over the fence and got it aligned. I did move over the tilt scale from my old saw for a familiar feel. The hand wheels do fit but are too bulky to allow for the tightening screw to...

Stupid question but I have what I think is proper belt deflection but the motor does bottom out on the bracket, is that ok?

I went to harbor freight and got a link belt for $30. Seems to have made a world of difference. Motor is silky smooth with no load at all. Now comes the difficult dicision of what to do with the old s...

Motor is a leeson 1 1/2 hp motor. Sanded stains and rust out of the top and waxed it. Loads heavier than my 34-600. I think I can transfer the tilt scale over to keep some character. I duplicate outfe...

Whelp its mine now, 34-429 with cast iron wings. Needs a cleanup, so much bigger than my saw and has a 1 1/2 horse motor. Will post pictures soon.

I've been trying to get the model number, but have been unsuccessful. It looks to be like a 34-400 but clearly says "Rockwell 10" tilting arbor saw" and has rectangular start stop buttons to the right...

Yup, it has solid extensions. The seller said it was purchased in '77 but that doesn't mean it wasn't an older model. I'd post pics of mine and the new one but this site is picky about file size
