Hey, you do amazing work and research. I have a 72 gen 3.5 I just purchased and the motor wobble when turned on. I noticed the rubber bushings on the motor mounts are loose/warped. Do you know how I can replace these bushings? Motor # 113.12140
I believe they are called "AC motor rubber resilient rings". They are standardized so you need to find a set that will fit your motor but do a google search for AC motor rubber resilient rings and you should be able to locate a suitable replacement.
ebay, they pop up from time to time. Make sure you get the double loop version, older springs have only one loop and a dog leg on the other end. Those are for early King Seeley 100 and 150 drill presses.
That is entirely possible. For many of the years that the Emerson line was sold, the buyer was able to purchase them with or without motors. Although most of them were sold with ½ HP motors, it is possible that a buyer could have purchased one without a motor and installed a 3/4HP motor. It is also possible that the Sears location installed a ¾ HP motor at the time of the sale. The motors ranging from ¼ HP through 2 HP were available from Sears and are used on lots of power tools. The manual calls for a ½ HP motor but that is the minimum recommendation. As long as the motor is ½ HP or more and the speed is between 1725 and 1750 RPMs it should perform great for drilling applications.
The Gen 4.5 (with two switches) has the 3/4 HP motor but like I said, all of the tool catalogs only mention a 1/2 HP motor. Quill/ spindle travel is the distance the quill can travel vertically. All Classic Craftsman Drill Presses have a quill/spindle travel of 4" except the Emerson Gen 2 which has a quill/ spindle travel of 6".
I didn't know you were putting this series out. Lucky me! I just bought a 113.24630 (the similar Gen 3 Commercial model) to refurbish and am having issues getting the head off the column. I think they are rusted together. Should I post about it over on the garage journal thread?

@@JeffsShop Awesome informational video. I, myself, am in the midst of restoring a 1974 Sears Craftsman 113 drill press. Great work. My compliments, sir.

Which commercial gen 4 is the one with 3/4hp? The one with one switch or 2? Also, what's the quill travel? Thank you
