I have an old Craftsman bandsaw that I need the trunnion for. I am trying to fix this tool and give it to a retired guy with a very limited fixed income. The trunnion is beyond repair and I have had no luck in trying to find a replacement part. The model number 133.244510 and the trunnion part #69178. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 133 in the part number indicates the manufacturer: American Yard
Products.

A quick search doesn't find anything online except their more recent
mowers and the like.

I'd guess the only hope will be eBay or the like of another or one
parted out--new parts for those old are made from unobtanium and would
cost well over the value of the saw or a replacement of similar quality
from used source.

What's actually wrong--could it be welded if took it in, for example?

If it old enough, try asking at www.owwm.org BOYD forum (bring out your
dead) if any one has one for sale.

Another option is have it casting made by the Cattail Foundry in
Pennsylvania. Info on them can be found on owwm.org as well.

Thanks for the suggstions.. The part is broken between the guide and where it bolts to the table, there is also a piece missing so I doubt it will can be welded. I'll probably just scrap the entire thing if I don't find something soon. I was ust trying to help the old guy old out.

I'd ask if he wants to carry on the search if you donate the carcass
before just tossing it...

Maybe yes and maybe no. If you can find a local machine shop you will be
surprised at what they can do/fabricate. Things that look to be damaged
beyond repair are most often not. Do as you chose, but at least be advised
that there are options and they are likely not to be prohibitively
expensive. Do as you wish.

Or some JB Weld. IIRC those trunnions, at least the one on my old
Craftsman was aluminum.
