Looks interesting I love old machinery, even has a single phase motor on it so you're part way there[if it works!!]

This is one of the strangest deals. Next to this drill press is a guy who built a brand new grain silo and converted into his house. So the drill press must belong to him. I am going to try to contact him and ask him about this old press. I will keep investigating. here is a link to his story.

I think Keith Fenner from YouTube has a Drill Press like this one in his shop.

There is a very similar one about ten miles from here in a farmers shed, Mrs Rick bought a bed frame on ebay and it was stored in the same shed, I thought about it then remembered tha I already had too many drilling machines.

PS, it's probably still there and in much better condition than the one in the photos and stored inside!
Whatever it is, do it today, Tomorrow may not be an option and regret outlasts fatigue.

I thought it was a Cannady-Otto here are a pic of mine, the way the rear arm is made makes me think it is.
