It's not new but it's built much better than the new ones. Just right for Sam ! For a finders fee I'll tell him where it is .

That's a nice one, i collect and refurbish old crank drill presses, i've got 4 of them in my shop right now, all in working order again, though some were rusted so badly when I got them that you'd have never thought they were repairable =)
 
I think Sam already has one just like it at Fastenal that he has his eye on.
 
Hey Robert I know where that is!

No seriously I don't, what is this finder's fee you speak of..........:D.
 
A case of Bass ale. Actually it's in Walton though I don't know who owns it.
 
Rally New York, watching the cars go by ! Again very successful ,we really know how to run a rally.

When did you sneak in my tractor barn with your camera mete ?? ;)

Seriously, I have one exactly like that mounted to a post in one of our barns. The only difference being the fly wheel. It looks like the one in the pic you took has been modified or had some area added for potential belt drive application. An amazing ammount of inertia is developed because of that flywheel when cranking the handle

And what a mechanical wonder in regards to engineering :thumbup: I think it even has "power feed" ;) via that little ratchet looking thing at the top. Justin ???

I love old tools like that !! Very cool !!


:cool:
 
How about this 2 speed Champion Sam? (BOG)

Hmmmmm, I work in Walton...... Where exactly did you spot this treasure? I could go and uh.....check it out and make sure it would make a worthy addition to my..uh..Sam's shop:D
Actually, I've already got one of these, but I love pawing through piles of rusty stuff. Never know what you'll find.... and I could check and see if its available.
