I am in the middle of the restoration of my 2 Woodman 30/60 radials.

I can't drum up any historical info or parts manuals and the such.

If anyone has any leads on how to track down info on these old jems, I'd appreciate it.

I have a couple old woodman 50 framers that I use and a third that I steel parts from. I have never seen a manual for one. Im still looking for the friction wheel for you , The person I bought my shop from had alot of old parts laying around. I know I saw a wheel out there I just have to find it.

I have been eyeballing sone of the urethane wheels at McMaster-Car as possibilities...... A gouple are very close to the right dimensions. Urethane would be an excellent drive wheel.

I dant know , When I go to refurbish mine Im going to pull all that stuff off and replace it with 2 pullys and a speed control . I have the same set up on a 40 frame hubbard that I use ,it should work fine on the woodman.

Aren't speed controls very spendy for A/C motors?? Like $700 to $900??
