As seen on facebook marketplace... "30 ton Lucas arbor press. These were built in the 1920's for the railroad shops for pressing bearings. It has a very long stroke for an arbor press. It's 26" to the top of the table and 42" if you remove the table. It currently runs on a 3 hp three phase motor but can be swapped to single phase pretty easy. The arbor is manual crank up and power feed down with a clutch built into the hand wheel. The belt should be replaced but it's just a 3" flat belt. Personally I would change the motor pully and use three v belts. I've seen pictures of these on the internet but never saw one before in the wild. All the gears and mechanical parts are in perfect shape."
