I have always loved the shape of the King Seeley drill press. You did a great job!
Thanks. I appreciate the vote of confidence. Don 👍
That was a fascinating project. I HOPE that was a gag photo of it by the trash bin! I've definitely picked up a few tips from viewing these videos. Thank you.
Thanks Steve, ya just joking around there. Don
Just watched all 3 parts while sick. What an amazing job! Learned a lot.
Jeez... sorry to hear you were off your feet that long. Hope you're feeling better. Glad you enjoyed the posts. Thanks for watching. Don 👍
Really coming along. Mine had a couple white balls on it, one had turned more yellow than the other.
On my spindle assy. that thick rubber washer had opened up and was causing issues. Think its because the new grease 'digested' it -- LOL.
Loved the idea of bluing it all. My drill press lived in central Calif- rust never an issue . Here in western Washington it is a huge problem.
What a beauty you have now !!! ...and I learned alot about my old drill press see you dissect and put this back together. Thanks.
Absolutely. These old King Seeley's were so pretty from day one. Its a shame to see them get run down. Good luck getting ours up tight. Don
Premo job !! Great skills!!
Thanx. Don 😀
I love the slide hammer!
You caught that!! Gotta make tools to get the job done.
NICE very NICE
Thanx Jerry... Don
fantastic job don!
Thanks. I appreciate it. Don
That thing is beautiful. I recently restored a Craftsman 150 myself. But, certainly not to this level. I’m going to revisit it and install a nicer switch and LED lighting. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing!!!
Thanks.. also did a 150.. I have a video after the fact for that one. Its my go to machine. You really can't beat these old Seeley machines. Don
Looks like a million bucks...great job on the gits puller too
Thanks Craig...
Looks amazing I wouldn’t even want to use it looking that good hahaha. I just got a model 103 for free I plan to restore it as well. Thanks for all the info I’ll be using your video as a reference point
Thanx.. I find it amazing how durable and accurate these old drill presses are. Good luck with yours. Don
Nice! I am going to guess you ordered a new capacitor and that is what took so long to arrive.
Hey James, Thanks for watching. Actually I did this so long ago, that I forgot what the hold p was. More than Likely the waiting on my buddy to print the King Seeley tag. Don
excellent job! it came out beautiful 👍
Thank you Steve. In Hindsight, I may have made this video series a bit too long. Don
Awesome job.
Thanks, It was fun.
Bravo!!!
Thank you Alan...
Love the restoration. You did a wonderful job. I have the exact same model that was handed down to me for my late father. I’d like to add the lights as you did. Are they LED and where did you source them from? Thanks.
I found the lamps and and holders at a flea market not far from here. They were just loose in a box so a took the chance. They work great.
Very cool build! Those old drills are so cool I have to find one now. What does that switch cover come off of? Thanks
Thanks, My buddy 3D printed the switch face for me. I agree, I love these King Seeley designed drill presses. Don
Excellent job, Don! Can't help but admire a guy who appreciates the good ol' machinery...BTW was the paint scheme meant to look "Bobba Fett-esque"? I picked up a functional Craftsman DP at a neighborhood garage sale last summer. Still working but in need of some TLC. Non-OEM motor and belt adj. plate but has a foot pedal switch. Thinking of converting to a DC treadmill motor drive because of easy speed-changes (i'm old with a lot of "wrenching arthritis", so learning to adapt...or die ;o). The only numbers I can find on the machine are on the head (Craftsman tag): 103.23590, looks a lot like yours but doesn't have that quill spring adjustment knob. I can't find that exact same model # anywhere on the web...was hoping to get a user/parts manual. Keep up the great work and your videography...very helpful and inspiring!
Hey Russ. If it looks like mine without the spring adj. then it probably is. The serial number says it is 103. Sometime in the mid 60's they did away with that, but the rest of the press is the same. I did the paint scheme just on what I thought would look good. I always liked the Detroit diesel engine color but thought it should be offset a little. The DC motor sounds like a plan, but most of them that I've seen are pretty large and have really high rpm ranges like around 5000. But hey, any thinking it through can get you a workable plan. Good luck with that. Thanks for following. Don
Nice Job, I found one in the garbage down the street , all it needed was a new cord , plan on cleaning it up and painting as soon as the weather gets warmer . it’s the same model as yours . I need to get a chuck key . Is that a 1/2in chuck ?
Thanks, Yes sir, it is a 1/2 incher. Very nice little DP. I can't believe anyone would chuck it. Its a sick world. Would love to see it once cleaned up. Don
Update on the drill press , motor has no power to start up with belt on , will start up without belt, but can stop pulley with hand. Local electric motor shop wants $130 to rebuild . Any suggestions ?
@@howiemook7701 Sounds like the start windings are toast. Ide be looking for a new motor. I had that problem with my Atlas lathe and switched it up for a 1 HP DC motor. A Used good motor is cheaper than rewinding for sure. Don
Thanks for the advice . I’ll tuck it in the corner of the garage for now , maybe one will show up 👍
Thanks for the video Don, I have the exact model and features, although branded Craftsman. Quick question: I had to replace the power cord to the motor. Motor runs, however, on startups it will sometimes run backwards and the motor housing becomes hot to the touch, but is not carrying a current. I'm guessing there is a jump somewhere but I'm stumped... do you have any suggestions?
Sounds like there has to be a polarity issue going on there. Best to tear it down and check for any shorts, especially at and around the wiring connectors.
Did you check runout after reassembling it? I was wondering if it retained the same amount.
Absolutely.. It was spot on. There's a lot to be said for a good bushing set up vs bearings. Not for every application, but in this one they're a spot on good design. Don
I know it’s an older video but on the off chance you respond, where did you get ahold of that switch plate and is there a craftsman version?
Hay Mack, I friend of mine wupped it up on his 3D printer. I asked him specifically to do it as a King Seeley to pay respect to the actual manufacturer. If you r interested and would like to contact with him, just shoot me you email via my attached (on page/about) and I'll forward it to him. Don
Why did you throw it away at the end?
Why not... no space. It was a joke.
@@donsengine3158that you have to explain this is really indicative of the era we live in.
What color is that you used?
Hey Joe, Its listed at the end of the video, But the Green is Detroit Diesel Alpine Green engine enamel, the Black is Black Engine enamel. Don
He put it right at the end of the goddamn video!
