After reading the many posts on the Craftsman 150 DP, its viability and its ease of restoration I was able to obtain one (model 103.24534). It is in very good shape and I am happy with its appearance and working order.
One accessory that I was given was an unused mortising attachment. The owner said that he never used it because he could not remove the chuck. I also have had no luck. I have read through 31 pages of DP 150 references but I am still at a lost. It has the Jacobs 33 chuck with screw on collar.
I am at a loss and ignorant as to what I need to do to remove the chuck. I would greatly appreciate it if someone who has mastered this could walk me through the correct removal procedure.
When I look at the chuck/quill assembly, I see the chuck. Above the chuck there is what I believe is the collar - it has three hole in it about 120 degrees apart. Above that is another smaller collar like piece that has a split key in it but it does not go completely through the quill shaft.
Thank you for your help.
