August 8, 201213 yr ok i have a champion post drill and im trying to take it apart to sand blast it i got the crank arm and gear off but i cant get the fly wheel of is this a cap (#2)?i took the set screw off the fly wheel and soaked it in pb blaster wont buge.also i cant get the top gear to lower the drill off (#3) if anyone has pics on how to take it a part it would be verry helpful. im stuck and dont know what to do.
August 8, 201213 yr looks to me like you are missing the 'feed arm'. the feed arm rides on a cam on the main shaft on one end and reaches up to the 'feed wheel' you have labeled #3. there is a pretty good study of post drills here.... http://www.beautifuliron.com/thepost.htm btw I wouldn't sand blast your drill. just a good brushing with a hand held wire brush and a light coat of oil will preserve the natural finish. jmo

August 8, 201213 yr Author ya i know im missing the feed arm im doing to make it. theres only i bradded pin that i can see. bob s i was going to keep the orignal patina but theres so much crud and gunk on it so i desided to do a full restore and paint it to match my champion blower. thanks for the help
