Here are some tips for anyone who owns or is looking to buy a Harbor Freight 4×6 bandsaw First, don’t pay more than about $160 for it. I’ve seen this go on sale several times since my purchase. Besides, after the necessary maintenance you need to perform (below), you’ll spend an extra $50 easily. Once you do buy it, CHANGE THE GEAR OIL! Harbor Freight has a reputation for selling cheap, foreign made tools that won’t last long-term. I run into 2 types of people – those that completely dismiss all Harbor Freight tools as crap, and don’t want to hear otherwise; and those that LOVE Harbor Freight tools for their value and coupon discounts!

Unknown branded Bandsaw rebuild questions
Have an unknown brand band-saw that I picked up at an estate sale for 50.00 bucks since they said the motor was seized up. They plugged it in and the motor just hummed. Got it home took it off the unit plugged it in and it spins real nice. Problem ended up being the upper tension wheel. It was seized up really tight which surprised me as it is brass sleeved and not bearing. Got it off after some time of wrenching and beating it has some bad casting or had hack job work done to it before. Anyway got that all cleaned up and spinning free and took a file to the rough and tight casting it fits in. I did notice there is a slight catch when I spin the pulley for the drive wheel. After going through half a roll of paper towels to clean up all the grease around the gear box and getting it open the gears look decent. I want to clean the rest of the grease out and inspect the gears. When I put it all back together do I pack it full or leave some space. Currently it is about half full since it had seeped so much grease. I will need to go get new gasket material when I close it back up. I have some Valvoline Heavy-Duty grease I am going to use unless someone advises against it. One of the belt pulleys has a piece missing I'm thinking it will still be okay I don't know if I'd run it at higher speed anyway. Also the tension piece doesn't slide and is not true. From the looks of it it's not the original pieces and the previous owner drilled and tapped little screws in it to shim it but that did not work apparently.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

That appears to be the standard chinese imported 4 x 6 bandsaw.

Yep, pretty sure that is a China import saw, a direct copy of an old Craftsman made in USA saw. There should be seals on both input and output shafts of gearbox, you might want to replace those. IIRC the gearbox should be filled with gear oil, not grease.

Really? Motor says St Louis MO USA on it and there are no other markings or plates on the unit itself. And the motor manufacture date is 1974 would a band-saw have been imported back then? And the Band-Saw body is solid cast iron.
Also I do realize motors can be changed.
Also if it is I apologizes I'm not trying to break rules just trying to rebuild a machine that is as old as I am or so I though/think.. - Diamond

Yes as I buy acid brushes there since they are throw away items. The band-saws I have seen there were thin sheet metal not cast.Originally Posted by digger dougNever looked at Harbor Freight ?

appears to be worm drive.Gear box should be filled with gear oil.
Don't take that apart unless you have to,or you will be back on here asking why it don't go back together and work.
'Slight catch when spinnig drive wheel' worm driven,they like to be spun in only one direction.
