OLd Black+Decker Drill question

[johninct]

I have an old Black+Decker 3/8" drill that I got with S&H Green Stamps in the 1970's. I found it under my back work bench. It is one of those cheap orange plastic pistol drills. I would like to get it back in use again. Does anybody sell parts for it? Also, the output shaft is very sloppy in the steel bearing. If I can't buy a bearing, I can kind of make one. The bearing in there is steel, would brass be ok? Also, for grease, can I use Milwaukee Type E? Thanks!

Sounds like a fun project. Typical plain bearing / sleeve bearing material is bronze, and are commonly referred to as bronze bushings. Any extreme pressure grease will work including the Milwaukee Type E you mentioned.
