]Thanks for the info sir. Like everything else on this DP, the pin came out easily. It was greasy and that kept if from any corrosion. I was also surprised at the condition of the spring. Pretty much greasy and like new. I got the motors switched out on the bench grinder. I had to switch yellow...

My brother stopped by today and dropped off a 3450 rpm motor off a table saw he scrapped out. It will work well to replace my grinder so I can use that 1725 rpm motor on my DP press. The date code on the 3450 motor looks like either 8 53 or B53. My 1725 rpm motor is H4 56. Heading over to...

Thanks Frank.

I sprayed primer on the inside of the head unit this morning after going over it again with wire wheels. I will primer the outside tomorrow. I didn't have the shed as warm today (64). Primer sagged on the base. I will clean it up tomorrow with steel wool and touch it up.

I got my assortment of wire wheels and the Dremel and die grinder out this morning and hit all the remaining cubby holes to remove old paint & rust. The knob that holds the handles is in rough shape. Pitted and peeling. Do I want to knock out the pin that holds it onto the shaft so I can get an...

I warmed the shed up to 69 this morning so I could give one of the big pieces a coat of Green Self-etching Primer. Looks a little gray in a couple of the pics. I doubt they will get any paint until I can paint all of the pieces. I just wanted it to stay mostly clean and rust free and to see if...

Most days cleaning off more rust and grease. Since I only have a partial right foot that still needs to heal, can't stand too long. And since I don't have a lathe, I had to improvise getting the column cleaned up a bit. I got some 1500 grit 30" belts. This will take me a while to get all the...

Working a little each day to strip the DP down. Thought I was going to use a sand blaster but it won't be available until summer. I need to get some smaller wire wheels for my Drimel. I can't get into small areas with what I have. I also need to get some finer sandpaper to finish cleaning up...

My brother dug out a vintage Craftsman table saw motor for me so I can use my bench grinder motor on my DP. He said it is like new, 3450 rpm. It has shaft on each end. He said he had at least four of them stashed in his attic of his shed. He grabs vintage Craftsman table saws whenever he...

The last thing is I sent the motor to a local electric shop. I wish I had went a different direction. Besides costing a boat load of money, and after all (most) of the grease was cleaned off, it is not a Craftsman motor. I can't hardly read the plate but I think it says Frigidare Motor, and...

The headband will need the Mylar & Decal treatment. The pulley is on my list to find. The quill and other parts are in pretty good shape, just needs a lot of cleaning.

Here are a few pics from the disassembly today. Surprised how easy it went. I retired from Whirlpool last year. My job was tool repair. I have repaired hand tools from Bosch to DeWalt. Battery tools to air tools, just about any tool you can think of in a 60 acre factory, so this wasn't too bad...

I was able to get the headpiece and base off the pipe today. Started taking wire brush on grinder to remove rust and paint. I will take some pictures today. Going to bring laptop out to shed to follow your instructions on removal of quill assembly out. I have a friend that has a sand blaster at...

Thanks for the link. I plan to get a sheet ordered today. The ebay seller with the logo looks like the same thing I am picking up from Sears this week. My final step on the head band will be the correct font of "150". I am sorting thru 1" numbers on the internet hoping to find the "right"...

I ordered this sheet of decals from Sears today for just over $10. I'm thinking if I can find the mylar on ebay, maybe there is the correct decal I can use for a headband. It is in stock so maybe I can grab it Tuesday. Can you tell me what to find the correct mylar on ebay under? I haven't...

Thank you for your input. When I was out taking a couple pictures, I can see the belt wear pattern was on the 2nd largest pulley. That's where I guess this one will end up until when or if I ever get a replacement. I have been thinking about this for a while: the amount of rust that is on it...

I have the handles. I just removed them for transit and cleaning. I didn't want to break them.

Here are the handles. Like the rest of the DP, they need a lot of work.

Here are a couple pictures. It looks worse with all the caked on grease removed but there will be a lot of mineral spirits to be used plus wire wheel I am afraid. The shop had a smoky forge near everything was soot covered and ground metal dust. By spring hoping it looks a lot better.

Very Nice. If I get off my ****, I will go out to Harley shed and take some pics. I had amputations on my foot so slow getting around. Foot won't heal. Had 9th operation a couple months back. ***** getting old. Thx, Bear
