Drill press quill bearing replacement

[thewaydown]

Hello,

I inherited a craftsman floor drill press model # 113.213811 and seems to be running pretty loud and rough. There is a little wobble at the chuck but I'm not sure if it's the spindle or not. I plan on replacing the chuck, the quill bearings, the pulley bearing, and the belt with a link belt.

I can not figure out how to even get into this thing because the quill return spring is not on the outside like most drill presses. Any idea where to begin? I'll attach pictures.

Also, any recommendations on a decent chuck that won't break the bank? Under $100.

Thanks,

Zayne

Here is the the manual. It shows the return spring, etc.

FWIW, you're considering a major rebuild and chuck replacement on a DP which was just OK when new. I've bought several better, older, larger DPs with Jacobs chucks complete and running for less than you'll spend. It does take some looking.

Like this?

I know its in rough shape, but I feel much better about this, and I'll have a lot more fun restoring it.

Paid $100 did I get a good deal?

Its a rockwell floor model 1124 with a jacobs no. 3 chuck.
