My new tool shop project

[glatt]

where's the motor? Sitting on a bench somewhere? Or is it a direct drive, and the motor is sitting behind that bulbous looking thing? You mentioned belts.

It's pretty cool. I love old tools, and old power tools are built like tanks.

The motor is here:

I figure since they have been in buisness since 1959, they can probably tell me what is wrong. The motor mounts behind the main support and the belt runs from there to the top of the drill head behind the bulbous looking piece of cast iron.
