That did it. Was able to get the end cap off without too much difficulty. Here's some pictures incase anyone else runs across this thread like I did!

yea, i think that helps. to get the fan side off i hit the shaft with a rubber mallet enough to get it to let go of the main body and start off the bearing. Then i could get a puller under the end cap lip. I cant use a puller with the wiring end, cause theres no shaft to push on, but that...

Did you take the wiring end off to access that bearing? Was there a trick to getting it off? I have a very similar motor and got the fan end and bearing out, but struggling with the wiring end endcap.

All together and working! I haven't torn into the motor yet cause I wanted run the drill press after rebuild. Going to start into the motor this week.

More painting done. Since I'm not very creative and I liked 11b's color scheme so much, I went with it. I can probably begin reassembly tomorrow once the paint cures.

Got a bit done throughout the past week or so. Got the new bearings on the spindle pulley, new bearings on the quill. Greased the chuck and pressed it back together. Did my best to polish it by spinning it in a hand drill. Figure I'll work on it some more when it's reassembled, but it looks...

Bit of progress this weekend, got the chuck disassembled and some parts soaking in simple green. Going to take some time cycling the big parts through about 6.5 gallons. Soaked the column in Citric acid over night and setup the redneck lathe and got the column all polished up. It's not...

Thats not a bad idea. OD is 50mm/roughly 2", but I could make that whatever I want to fit some common sized pipe at the hardware store.

I was able to get the column out of the base yesterday after giving the blaster time to soak in. For the pulley, I'll probably try and find a new one to have incase, but I went through a few iterations of the 3d printed sleeve. I got one to finally fit well enough to press on and squeeze the...

jack, i thought the same thing about the jb weld not doing much good. Unfortunately I dont have a lathe to make a sleeve, but that gave me an idea. I have a 3d printer and mocked up a test sleeve using the dimensions from my pulley. No clue if this will be strong enough though.

Cleaned up a bit so I could start my drill press project. Unburied my generator in the process and figured I should fire that up and run some fresh fuel through. Finally got started on disassembly of my craftsman 150 dp.

I stumbled upon 11b and Frank's posts and the huge amount of information on these presses a few months ago and have been looking for a press ever since! I managed to pick one up a couple weeks ago. There were a few things missing that weren't apparent from the photos, but all in all its in good...
