OK here is the carriage bearings cleaned up and put back together
I soaked the carriage bearings in a mixture of WD-40 and mineral spirits for about four hours, took them out scrubed them up with some liquid wrench, Got them spinning real good, and put a few drops of three in one oil on them, there is no play in the bearings they are fine shape, so I’m not going to replace them.
Motor ready for new bearings

My grandfather has one very much like yours and it is the nicest RAS I’ve ever seen. I have an early 1970’s Dewalt B&D Radial Arm Saw and like it very much. Those Craftsmans and saws of the 80’s and 90’s are junk in comparison!
