Millers Falls number 12 Breast drill before and after

[Bundoman]

Bought this at the local resale for 3 bucks.  It had ugly rubbery green paint with nicely brown painted rosewood handles.  I stripped all of that and did a complete disassemble, clean, and grease of all parts.  The crank handle had a crack that I welded and re-ground. My final paint scheme of Oliver tractor green and black may not be a correct original but I like the way it turned out.  I have a little green residue to clean from the gear teeth to call this one done.  Does anyone happen to have a similar parts drill that would have a protective cover for the level glass?  It is unfortunately AWOL!

Nice save, Brent.

Great job on the refurb Brent.

Oliver green & black paint scheme work great IMHO.

I'll keep a lookout for the level bubble guard, but admit, yours is the first one I've ever seen with bubble.

Maybe cut a piece of brass to shape?   Looks good.     Mine is the M-F No.120.....not quite as fancy....
