Well, she is back together and upright. Now I just need to find a flat belt measurement instructions to get new belts fitted. I need it for one hole right now and it will give me a chance to see it run and notice any problems. Also, the new motor is mounted and I will have to find a pulley. I think this also answered my problem with the Barnes and keeping it original. I can make the jackshaft run from the motor to a step pulley then to the loose and tight pulley...
Well, on to the flat belt...

Ordered new belts, fitted the 2" and still have to do the 1". Started work on building a handle bracket per you guys's recommendations. I have some scrap I am turning into it. I will post a quick picture when it is done. I did a little flip it with the belt on and there is a slight click where the lock pin hits the back gear. I have to track that down and see if maybe there is a clearance issue that needs adjusted.

Got her new vee belt installed from the motor to the countershaft. Now she runs. I did a quick bearing cap pull and looked at the shaft. No real wear. I do think I am gonna put some felt in the cap cavities, seen as how it looks like there should be some. Does anyone have a good explanation of what parts are a problem with the friction clutch? I know mine slips now, but before I tear it apart, is there any special materials, or is it all metal and just needs cleaned up?

Just take it apart, clean and inspect. Nothing scary in there.
From a previous post about the power feed...

I have been pleasantly surprised how well this machine works. I haven't stopped drilling with it after I looked at the bearings and saw they were all fine. Thank you all for telling me to just go get it. Well worth it.

Oh, forgot, thank you for the measurements on the handle latch rod. I made one up and it works wonderfully.

Hey Michael, that's great to hear.
Do you have any pix of the final product? ��
I hate to admit it, but mine has been sitting there disassembled for a year, waiting for me to get going again. A few other projects sidetracked me.
So a few pix will get me drooling and kick my butt to put it together.
Enjoy your new DP

Here is a picture of it added to the drill. I know, cut me some slack, I haven't painted it yet. I haven't decided on the color yet.

Well, after several times running this drill, I now wonder how I got by without it.
Case in point, I am currently building a trailer to mount the boom from my engine hoist to, to move a Van Norman #12 mill through a door and into my shop. Well, I had to drill some holes in the tacked up frame for the bolts. Well, it took about 15 minutes from leveling the frame on the table to both holes drilled, not to mention the fact that it litterally drilled the 1/8" pilot hole then went to a 5/8" hole in one shot.
Still amazes me every time I use it, how did I ever get by without it.

It would likely do the same thing with a 1" bit 
I think a drill that size is probably "rated" for 1½", but I'm sure folks here can tell some stories .......
Just be sure to clamp well - It will NOT stall if it catches ........ just sayin'

Funny you should talk about not stalling. A week ago, I was drilling a 1/2" hole in 1/2" flat bar stock, autofeed was engaged and it was peeling chips just so nicely. Well, the drill bit caught and the belt slipped for a second and the weakest link gave out...it snapped the drill bit right in half. I was like...and that is why I got told to clamp it down with these.

Here's a link to a little website on the old drills :

The author describes drills like these as "Relentless"
