I picked up this post drill at a swap meet in Oregon last year. It is a crank 1-speed drill, with a reverse gear with provisions to run a flat belt if desired. The inside flat belt pulley is freewheeling. The feed arm was broken, like most were, but welded years ago, and although rusty, it still had a fair amount of grease keeping it running well. The shaft bearing is tight, and the wood handles aren't cracked.
