Comments:

three versions of this post drill exist, one with hand cranked drilling only, another with hand cranked or belt driven options, and another, with both options and the automatic feed and lever capabilities, this version is the one I have.

incorrect chuck. Missing top large flywheel, two belt wheels, and hand crank+some nuts and bolts. The lever system on this drill is not original and was put in place to bypass the automatic feeder which takes forever. Original wood?

it says: No 203
