Parts and Potential.
Here are the parts I salvaged from that hunk-of-rust , former blacksmiths post drill:
CBF36.jpg
- main frame;
- flywheel;
- flywheel gear;
- feed wheel;
- self-feed lever;
- spindle gear;
- coupler (not shown);
- pawl (not shown - fitted to other CB&F post drill)
Then, when I went through my stash of left-over parts from the previous two (now one) CB&F No.61 post drills I have:

- main frame (broken - awaiting scrapping);
- feed wheel;
- feed nut;
- feed screw;
- flywheel shaft;
- flywheel gear;
- crank gear;
- crank pivot screw (not shown);
- spindle gear;
- spindle;
- self-feed lever shaft (not shown).
And when I put them together I have the makings of another (almost complete) post drill .

Result !!!
I'll need to replace some missing square-head set screws with bolts - although I have a sprinkling of them left over from these various donor drills. And if I really wanted I could file/grind down the hex. heads to square .
I'll need to make up an anti-rotation/coupler lock plate (~2mm thick steel plate) - no problem. Also a crank handle. And I'll need to find a suitable thrust bearing. All do-able.
And of course I'll be back to where I started - before I bought this rust-heap for the pawl - I'll be short of a pawl .
But I don't expect to make much more progress on this for a little while - as other priorities are rearing their ugly heads (hopefully not an other 7 years this time ).

A-pawlling.
I haven't found that rivet - but a friend had a few 1/4" x 2" rivets that I could have.
I have now riveted the new pawl to the original self-feed arm.

And I've touched up a little paint damage - before re-fitting the arm to the drill.
