Wow - you didn't rehab that drill, you resurrected it! It was dead and
rotting and now it lives! And who would re-use rusted needle bearings?
You're an inspiration, Gunner. I have a rusted needle bearing in this
rototiller - I guess I'll re-use it. Well, maybe not.

Chuckle..with the PBlaster...some heat, some pressure, some
vibration..the bearings will either wipe out totally and not even act
as bushings..or start to turn.

Ive got $0 in it.

The drill was designed to hog screwtipped auger bits through headers
and 2x4s and beams at slow speeds. Its a beast. Now instead of a dead
piece of ****..its a noisy but running piece of ****.

Good enough.

I do industrial electrical among many other things. Not a lot of beams
and whatnot in tilt up buildings. So if I use it 2x a year...2
holes...its...

Good enough
