I would ask over on the vintage machinery forum but for whatever reason my account will not allow me to create new post. I have contacted moderators to no avail so here i am.
I recently aquired three old 17" Delta drill pressess. One is real old and i think a modle #1382. All the head castings say DP600. I have figured enough to know that is the casting number of the part and not the model number of the press.
Anywho the question is about bearing replacement. I have found five bearings total in the quill assembly. I will follow this post with pictures. Two of the bearings are attached to a two piece shaft connected by a allen bolt. I cant seem to free this allen bolt and am inclined to think it can not be removed. If this be the case than these two bearings also can not be replaced.
I feel like i have read somewhere along the line that only certain bearings can be repalced on these old Delta presss. If this be the case i just need to figure that out before i break something trying to get these pieces apart.
Pictures to follow.
