Craftsman 101.03622 drill press questions

[paxtonm1520]

Good morning!

I recently acquired a Craftsman 101.03622 drill press and I had a couple of questions.

How do you get the front pulley guard off? Do you have to pull the pulley too?
What size belt(s) do you need if you have the four step variable speed pulley?

Thanks!

To remove the puley guard, remove the one bolt.in front of the guard and then lower the spindle. The guard slides out to the front of the drill press

Were you referring to the Vari-Speed attachment third spindle? I have both the original belts and replaced them at my local Auto-Zone, after stupidly asking the workers at Home depot (haha learned my lesson real quick -"whats a Drill Press?"), They didn't have exactly the same size but they seemed close enough to me. (I was also pretty happy because the original belts are all marked with the long C Craftsman)

That is cool! But, I just have the two, four step pulleys.

Thanks!

Does anyone know what size/style the bolt is that fastens the pulley guard to the body?

Thanks!

Should it be extremely difficult to remove the pin that holds the collar on the feed rod? Does it only go one way? I'm referring to the collar on the left hand side of the column as you face the DP. Thanks!
