I know very little about this drill press, it was recovered from a farmers paddock for $20 AUS and I have restored this far (slight remnants of green paint and red wheels) I have the draw bar and quill, they are away being replicated as the draw bar and top bush are destroyed as a result of the key coming out. Can anyone help with the top pulley assembly and how/where it would have connected to a stationary motor (?) at the rear? Furthermore anything about Empire? Thanks wayne@vcb.com.au
