Nice family portrait there Jr.  On the little Buffalo, was the feed lever retrofitted? Mine only has the single lever.

Photo1 This is the first Camel Back Drill I purchased in the late 60's, I used it in my wood shop for years. Photo2 This is how I modified the feed levers. The previous owner had cut the top shaft and put a transmission in it. It was so loose it wore the main gears out, So I replaced them with the Axle gear and a spider gear from an old rear axle.

A leg vise that I bought from Sid at the Little Giant hammer in. Screw box was siezed and there was no mounting hardware. I got the screw loose and tightened up the rivet for the side plates on the lower pivot. The sad part is that I spent more on the stand than the vise.

Thanks Jr. for the photos. Those pics will be helpful to me as I get mine back in working condition. I worked on the drill today some, mostly cleaning and removing crud/rust/cobwebs. It's in suprisingly good shape, will be a good project for me. -aaron c.
