After my shop tour, a subscriber reached out and wanted to know if I would like to work out a deal for an old Craftsman 6 1/8" 113 Jointer that has been sitting in storage for many years. This baby needed some much love and a ton of elbow grease. Watch as I take it apart and transform it. Thank you for watching, Don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe.

I have this model and she is a champ. Sure i wish the out feed table moved but she does great work for a hobby woodworker and can be bought for 100 bucks or less

Doing this to one I just bought. Was just trying to get the cutter head out to clean the rust off. During the process I figured out that besides the snap ring on the cutter guard side on the outside of the bearing, that there is also one on the inside that I didn’t see at the beginning. There is also one on the inside of the bearing on the fence side that I did see, but that didn’t make it easier to get out of the groove. Got it out with angle pins in the snap ring pliers. While the bearing on the cutter guard side didn’t have Snapchat rings to actually hold the bearing in place, the other one does on each side. Only had to take the outside one out to get the bearing out. So, there are 2 on the cutter guard side that snap onto the shaft, inside and outside of the bearing. 1 on the other side that snaps onto the shaft on the inside of the bearing, and 2 that hold that bearing into the housing, for a total of 5. Now I’m waiting on new bearings that I had to order online as none of the auto parts stores had any that size. And regarding the bearing, I found a lot of them online that were 35mm OD and 15mm ID, but mine are actually 15.875mm ID, which measured that with calipers and they were marked that. Found them on eBay. Think I have it figured out how to get it back together. I’m going to put the shaft back in from the pulley side, I will have to put the snap ring that goes next to that bearing on and try to keep it between the 2 grooves on the other end so I can insert the shaft a bit, but not too far so I have room for the cutter head to start feeding onto the shaft. Then will have to try and get the snap ring to go past the second groove without snapping into it so the cutter head can keep sliding on the shaft. Then when the shaft starts to come out of the other side of the cutter head, put the next snap ring on and try to keep it out of the first groove, and then get the shaft through the bearing. Sounds like fun. I found out by accident when trying to get it out that if you tap on the shaft long enough that you can get a snap ring out of the groove. That’s how I discovered that snap ring when I saw it land on the floor. So unless I’m missing the easy way to do this, I sincerely hope the poor soul at the factory had some special tools to assemble these. Any if anyone sees this and has figured out the best way to do it, I’m open to suggestions. I’ve stood and stared at it and I don’t think it’s any better sliding the shaft in from the other side. Those inside rings can’t be slid on very far till the cutter head is in position, then basically the cutter head pushes them along the shaft to their final place, but either way has to pass another groove before it gets to the one it belongs in.

I just picked up a 113 jointer today. It doesn't look as rough as the one you were working on but I'm going to go check some things out after watching your video. Nice job!

Turned out awesome. Glad it's getting some use again!

Fantastic job on the restoration! I have the same jointer and have not been able to find any other videos showing this same jointer. I am definitely using your video to help guide me through the same restoration process. Could you please share where you purchased the replacement parts you found? Belt, pulleys, bearings, etc.? Thank you!!
