Heck yeah! I bought all new parts for mine last year, mine is a 1926 model, and the parts were around $1500.00 IIRC. The top assembly weighs 200# according to the book and a young friend of mine lifted it off of the bearing cradle with one arm! Ran his arm between the pully and the frame and up she came, He just had me balance it for him! He just turned 20yrs old earlier this month and I think I'm going to start calling him Sir! I'm having a bronze bushing put in the pully instead of the babbitt. Will sandblast, make any repairs and put it back together. This is one of those long time projects at the moment...sigh...
