I'm attempting to restore a nice working Miller Falls No. 97 Breast Drill. However I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the gearing and main shaft from the main body. All searches have been dead ends. Anyone have an idea on how to get the shaft out and the gears? The threaded cap on the end appears to capture some ball bearings. It turns, but I'm starting to run into some resistance and don't want to break anything. Any help would be appreciated.
