Good idea. It's a No. 33 chuck

Congrats on the DP - I recently finished restoring one of mine. Don't let the chuck intimidate - the video offered is great. I pressed mine apart to find a handful of teeth were destroyed internally on each of the chuck jaws :cautious: - the jacobs rebuild kits I've seen are twice what I paid...

Thx Jack!

Hi, Any comments most appreciated - 2013 Toro timecutter zero turn mower - it's only been a couple years with very (very) little use - but think I see fraying on the drive belt - and one of the drive wheels squeals from the belt that isn't quite grabbing. (I may have an alignment/pulley issue)...

thx - seems to have been the batterie(s) - knew the one I bought it with was garbage, had one I had for my zero turn on a tender all winter- worked at first - but then didn't have the cranking amps after a start or two - it's a couple years old. a new battery seems to have fixed it - need to...

Thanks guys - yeah now that you say that - I think you are right. Frequent starts/stops compared to running time. There is actually a digital voltage display on it that shows it drop down at times to 7 or 8 as it's cranking (if it's not starting right away) - definitely drops below 10V. I...

Hi, I use a deckless Cub Cadet ride on mower to tow around a garden cart. It's only purpose. Seems though that I'll fully charge a battery (new battery - only 1 year on it - yeah - I know - could sit on shelf for months/yrs b4 selling) it seems to drain down the battery to where the mower...

that's an odd one. closest I can see is something similiar to this BMW enginecrank seal tool set - looks a little specialized and/or modified from original possible? https://1sourcetool.com/collections/engine-specialty-tools/products/assenmacher-bmw5254-bmw-front-crank-seal-kit

I have what seems to be a work-hardened bolt that snapped off in an aluminum swingarm on a dirt bike. I need a long bit - 8" or 12" with the chops to drill into and through this 5/16" bolt - I bought a harbor freight carbide drill bit (think twin tip even?) that seemed to be making some...

Hello, I'm about to re-assemble the subject drill - I have the spindle and quill fitted with new bearings and together with the collar & pin as well as the thread protector nut. Any tips for any specific parts are most appreciated - I've degreased as much as I care to and washed up the rest of...

Thanks - I'm not going to paint. The original paint is in good condition with just the right amount of patina. The knobs and bolt heads have cleaned up spectacularly in simple green and wire brushing. I'm just going to clean out the head, table and base with a diluted amount of simple green...

No - I removed the bearings. I may replace them or I may repack them and reuse - not sure yet.

That is my understanding thx

Apologies if double posted, my first run seems to have disappeared. I decreased all internals of spindle, quill and a variety of other parts - used Simple Green. Rinsed and dried - but should I spray with WD-40 to keep from surface rusting while I work on the rest? I'm going to wet sand the...

I just completely disassembled my benchtop drill press and have begun degreasing the steel parts using Simple Green from HD. After scrubbing them and rinsing/drying - do you recommend I spray or rub with WD-40 to prevent oxidation while I work on the rest of the drill press housing, table and...

Have you considered a Decked system? ( https://decked.com/ ) It's an investment but a great organizational option w/out sacrificing availability of the back truck bed. I have the two drawer system and have a ton of various tools organized within. It raises the truck bed deck about half way...

I did note that in his videos - so I'm going to consider cleaning it with something else - maybe a rag with some degreasing spray on it and soap and water. I'll use the simple green only on steel parts - or maybe not at all I suppose. I have to plan all that out still....thx for alerting me...

Yes thx - I was struggling a bit with that and puzzled why it was solid. Repositioning it was expected to be a bear - was considering using heat to expand it before sliding it on - would rather cut it and will as you've shown! Figuring some evaporust, a couple of gallons of simplegreen clean...

Thx to both of you. I figured out the return issue - the pinion gtoovd was not aligned to the retention screw (too far in). Working now - also a closer look at the headband screws - the 49 (pearl scallops trim) has machine screws and the 50 (red trim) has panel screws. I think I will take...

Question: my goal here is to clean up the downward and return action of the drill. I'm removing the chuck from the spindle just for the sake of freeing it. Dropping out the quill/spindle so I can clean up the surface as well as the housing bore it slides in. An issue I'm having is that when I...
