Drill Press In Need Of Help!

I've got to hand it to you, mikey, right on with your diagnosis. Sorry it took a while to post an update, I was out of town for a bit...then I couldn't get the spindle pulley off, you know how it goes. After borrowing a friend's gear puller last friday, I popped the pulley off and pulled the cap screws on the drive sleeve. It wouldn't budge. Here I FINALLY noticed the bottom of the pulley cover was jammed up against the drive sleeve. I loosened the pulley cover screws and that freed the drive sleeve. When this unit got knocked around in shipping, the cover must have taken a good whack. With just the slop in the drive sleeve screw holes, I was able to realign the drive sleeve around the spindle. Problem solved. Thanks for the help.
