Ok, so they are just making a special one for the truck brands that doesn't require switching hoses to fill. I looked on their website and none of the 3 types they offer look remotely similar to the truck brand offerings.

Between work and home projects, I think I'm ready to look at purchasing a vacuum coolant filler. I think I am set on the Matco coolant filler (snap on and mac are the same, just more expensive) MCR102U or MCR102A. Of those of you who have or have had these type of coolant fillers, which is...

It could be a HF one, the picture is not mine, found it on the internet... Haha, I didn't look to closely at the straps in the picture. When I read that post, I assumed he meant to attach two straps. I probably read it wrong! Sorry oldwizard! Yes, shackles are fine for attaching to the...

To each his own, but I highly recommend NOT using shackles or metal hooks to connect tow straps. I am have seen many jeeps have their front or back glass shattered by flying metal connections when tow straps snap. The harbor freight ones are very prone to braking... The load rating on them is...

I think your right! If you do a google image search it looks just like my drill press also. Maybe I can find more parts or info on the enco drills.

I believe you are correct on the variable speed. I opened the box up and it was a mess (figuratively speaking. it was actually organized) of wires and circuit boards. Also, when you turn the knob, the speed of the drill changes. Not very smoothly though, it pulses then stables out. Is this a...

Dang, thats what I was afraid of. Oh well, I will continue searching. Hopefully I can piece my repairs together from other machines!

My research so far says its Taiwanese (spelling?). But thats all I can find out about it.

Hahaha, the pictures were taken with my crappy phone camera. I never take pictures, so its hard to justify a camera. Sorry about the bad quality! I see, well its a pretty heavy duty general electric motor, so hopefully its good. I am having a hell of a time trying to find parts for this thing...

Jaker, I found that you posted about this drill almost a year ago. Were you ever able to find parts or information for the drill?

That does look very similar. I will have to do some research on guardian. Hopefully I can find replacement parts. This drill press lived in an ag shop up until now, so its had an interesting life Im sure. I believe the electrical box with the switches and speed dial were added on at some point...

Holy cow! Here come even more!

Even more pictures.

More pictures.

So, I got this drill press free from work. It could use a little work, but it does work! Im hoping that by posting a bunch of pictures of it, one of you tool guru's out there will be able to identify it. Id like to be able to find some replacement parts to get it fixed up. I dont know much about...
