No experience, but it's gotta be a relic from a bygone era. If it needs parts you might be hard pressed to ever find them. Only way to know if it's gonna drill is put some air to it. Try and get a picture of it to post. I know a guy that loves to collect old rockdrills from the past. He once asked me to keep my eyes out for any of the old LeRoi-Cleveland rockdrills once made. It was a drill we had in the mine I worked at in the 1970s-80s for draw point repairs, but they're no longer made anymore.
They want 100 bucks for it and I have been looking for a drill. They claim itās functional.
Can you recommend a newer drill? I want to run water.
That drill having a number 36 might mean it's a 40 lb class drill. Do you want one that size. A company I worked for sold quite a few of these Y26 drills which weigh around 40 lbs. One fella I sold one to maybe 8 or more years ago said it's a pretty sweet running drill and he still uses it for smaller blasting jobs. Only thing I can recall selling in parts was that retainer that holds the drill steel in. It is made in China, but it does seem to please everyone we sold them to and holds up great in their opinion.
