Very cool. Thanks, Dave. No plans to do any of this, but it's still interesting to read.

Dave, how do I determine if my Boice Crane bandsaw is babbitt bearings? It was built in the '20s/'30s.

Usually babbitt bearings have separate bearing caps with shims between the halves. As the bearings wear the shims may be removed and replaced with thinner shims if the man that poured the bearing didn't use a stack of very thin shims.

I have redone several engines and misc. machinery with Babbitt bearings, and there are several “right” ways to do it.
Some more information can be gleaned from this site.
