I picked up a Craftsman 150 which came with a bent motor pulley. Pictures speak for themselves As to how i fixed that.
Looks good to me!
Hi Mike, for the large end I have a surface plate. I set on that and turn and tap with a 1/2” brass drift where there’s a gap. Takes a few spins and they flatten right out. My splitter is a small one and there are much larger ones that would work for the other end. They seem expensive and hard to find here in Alaska.
That press is a bit of a sad *******, but I think you have the makings of a very good machine, with some patience and persistance. That model is basically the same as the model 74 floor model, and there are many of both still around, as they are quality machines. Spare parts are relatively plentiful. Post a "Want To Buy" on the OWWM website (BOYD, Bring Out Your Dead) for what you need. The 'Bay is another resource.I ran across this Atlas 64 at a garage sale and it kinda jumped in my truck. It’s a bit of a train wreck, missing the quill lock assembly, the depth gauge, the quill cap, one handle, and the tension spring cap. In addition, The resilient motor mounts are shot, the pinion gear has a galled tooth, most of the bearings are suspect. The Westinghouse 1/2 hp does seem to run ok, I’ve been told the presence of oil caps means it has bronze bushings instead of bearings, not sure on that. I dont know that this isnt a replacement motor as I haven’t seen one on an Atlas, more knowledgable people here are welcome to share. Choices are, collect the parts needed over time, part it out, or set the head aside for now and use the rest for a mag drill base by making a cap and flat to set on top of the column.
I did hog out some resilient motor mounts to fit the motor ends so that should be ok, i think the originals were actually part of the motor.
Some pictures.
Several issues on that one, but nothing that can't be resolved.

I'm very happy Ed is the new caretaker of the AHS drill. I had first seen one many years ago and was taken with the unique drive mechanism. It took me 20 years to find one for myself, and Ed is the perfect person to care for it in the future.
8 years late, but how did you date this? I have one that was converted to electric but not with the original belts or pulleys and it has no markings or badges. I actually found out what I had by finding yours on Vintage MachineryHere's an old Washburn Shop Drill Press from the late 1800s. I bought it cheap 'cause it was ugly. Then sold it kinda high to a fellow old machine junkie, cause it was purty. That funded the Powermatic 1200 above. Some time this process works. Sometimes it doesn't .
Looks great, Ed!
Probably a no-name Asain import. It is missing the parts to lift and lower the table. But you can still probably do that by hand. Does the table have accidental holes drilled in it? I would say it is worth $100 if you need a drill and cannot find a cheap one in your area. It also depends on the quality of the included vises
Thanks for the reply. My best guess at the moment is that it is a Duracraft, but it's hard for me to tell.
I found out a little more about it. It is a Master Craftsman series.
