I'm not sure where the right place to post this would be, but here goes.

I bought this DW745 Type 2 saw off of Facebook Marketplace. I think it was abused. I replaced both of the elevating shafts (5140100-04 Diagram # 82 & 5140100-05 Diagram # 84). I also had to replace both of the bevel gears (5140061-65 Diagram # 56).

The aluminum housing seems to be okay and the lifting shafts move in and out without much resistance. I'm still getting this chunky movement when I raise and lower the blade.

I'm looking for advice before I go though the whole process of replacing the entire aluminum housing (Gear Case A25607 Diagram # 213) on the motor.

Still waiting on the part. USPS is late with the shipment.

I won't let you down. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks again for all the help!

Still waiting on the part.

USPS says it should be here tomorrow (05/10/2024).

I'm looking forward to using this thing for so many projects.

Got the part in but my wife went into labor. We had a 8 lb 7 oz baby!

Obviously this is going to delay the progress of this saw project.

I did want to mention that the bent washer isn't very "bent". I'm going to figure out how to provide measurements once I can get to focus on this again.

I promise I'll get y'all updates at some point.

Congratulations! now get out of here and you go be an awesome new dad. That table saw will wait.
