Johnson Modle J Band Saw

I am picking one of these old girls up tomorrow. Anybody out there have one or rebuilt one.

I tore one down, blasted, painted, rebearinged and resealed one 25 years ago.
Ran it for 8-10 years and then sold it because I was moving.

The only parts I bought from Johnson was the hydro cylinder leather cup, pinion and ring gear. The rest, bearings, seals, bolts is off the shelf stuff.

Great old saw.

I picked up one in Dayton, worked fine but I had another with a wider blade so I let a friend have it.

Picked one up 6 months ago . Great saw.

As I am working on the rebuild process - a couple of things :
Does anyone have the dimensions of the original step pulleys?
Does anyone have pictures of the original shut off switch configuration, when the saw finished the cut, it shut off?
( Or a better plan)

Thanks
