Got the bolts for the press bed and motor and assembled the frame of the press.

Frame and bed guides assembled on my Wright Combination press.

When the press was originally disassembled 25 years ago by the original owner, instead of properly removing the motor wiring they just cut the wire. They cut it in the worst place too.

Wire to motor cut

I had thought of rewire the entire press but instead decided to splice the cut with some 12 gauge electrical wire. It isn’t pretty but it functions now.

Motor wire spliced.

Now to figure out the size and material of the press bed.
