I think I remember going through a lot of snap ring pliers to find one that would work.

I can’t remember if I removed it before I gave it a bath in the Ultrasonic Cleaner. I remember the chuck removal was unpleasant.

It is an American made chuck and seems pretty solid.

I mischaracterized my issue with the jaws. I bought replacement jaws. They are fine. One of them gets hung as shown in the photo.

Found them.

I have already purchased the replacement chuck (seen on the right..drill press table) in the Amazon link. It does not have the safety collar. Amazon listed my model specifically. I have a #6 wedge set here somewhere. I have misplaced it.

Can I replace my "safety collar" Jacobs Chuck with a non threaded Jacobs Chuck on a Craftsman 150 (113.24501)? Having trouble with one of the replacement jaws and I remember how difficult it was to remove the original chuck. According to the beginning of this thread the safety chuck didn't...

I didn’t want to remove the original paint so I just cleaned it up. The only thing I repainted was the motor mounts. No I didn't...quite a bit of time passed while I was working on this. Thanks for pointing that out. I am glad I posted pics. Here is what it looked like before.

I wish I had found this before I restored my grandfather’s 113.24501 EDIT: apparently I read some of this thread(at least in part) over a year ago. I had Frank’s lubrication notes laminated during reassembly.
