Tough #4 arrived today from Sydney via fleabay. It is the intermediate pulley I was really after, for Tough drill Press # 2 (of 3, in another thread).
Unlike some of the American drill presses I was directed to, the intermediate pulley neither pilots in, or around the solid column. There is a distinct gap. Couldn't get focus on it, but it is obvious.
The motor is a single phase GMF Cadet 1/2 HP type S 52/4S , 1425 rpm
the motor adjust lock on one side, and intermediate pulley lock are short levers with the lead ball ends. The other lock is a obviously recent addition (bright and shiny).
The sack truck I scored last year, excellent wheels, Kelso K14. made in Oz.
I took the opportunity after initial disassembly to weigh the components:
Head 22.9 kg
Motor 17.9 kg
motor mount plate & int. Pulley 8.5 kg
mortise table support 9.3 kg
mortise table 28.1 kg
Base 13.2 kg
column 22.2 kg
total 122.1 kg
It has obviously been out in the weather for a while, so the motor is probably cactus. Might be a rebuild candidate. thoughts?
The cylindrical lump on the rear of the motor - a start capacitor maybe?
If it could be salvaged a 1/2 hp is more than the 13 hp on drill press # 2.
Interestingly, I can't find a serial number on it. The number is stamped on top of the column on the other 3 Toughs I have. but on this not a mark I can glean. No evidence of a missing manufacture plate either; can be on the front pulley guard or on the side of the head on the drill presses.
It is fairly unlikely I have desire for a mortiser, I have a brigade of Festool, so if any is interested in the relevant Tough componentry, pm me. I do have some qualms about dismembering it, but have to draw a line somewhere I suppose.
