JT Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 heres a catalog photo of the only one I can find, its not exactly like this other one but can't even find another like either one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I just checked the 1897 and 1908 Sears Roebuck catalog to see if they had a similar one (rebranded as ACME of course) but didn't find a match. The bit advance wheel is very distinctive to that one and I assume it's original to the drill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told everything is original to it.. not exactly sure how it works of if there is a way to change the speed. the one in the ad states the speed is readily altered by changing the position of the crank ?? not sure exactly what this means ??

ThomasPowers Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Is there an adjustment that allows you to slid the crank in and out on it? Crank in smaller throw faster speed, crank out longer throw slower speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kozzy Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Here is some history--and as the ad above implies, you might want to look under the trademark "green river" instead because that's how the drilling machines were branded http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1376 They have some patents on drilling machines--possibly one will show more of what you need http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?id=42001 http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?id=45605 http://www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?id=15707 And this is a downright wild one--3D fly around of their factories from youtube The buildings are now part of a history museum and still exist http://industrialhistory.org They might have even more info on your press if you contact them.

I was wondering if that was the way also.. 8 minutes ago, Kozzy said: Here is some history--and as the ad above implies, you might want to look under the trademark "green river" instead because that's how the drilling machines were branded http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1376 Hello Kozzy, thanks, yes I've tried looking it up several ways but never get to far,, I did find another No.22 but it too was different or possibly missing the drums or pulley looking things the crank is going through on this one and the one in the ad..

JT Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 the owner added: this drill has a 1/2" straight shank chuck. quill travel is 3 1/2" with 35 turns of the top feed wheel. that wheel has 60 teeth that can be selected at one tooth per crank, two per crank, or three per crank. there are 39 teeth on the crank shaft and 22 on the mandrel. the fly wheel is 16" and weighs 119 1/2 lbs. I don't know if this refers to the one in the ad or the other one.. I don't quite understand it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
