Meddings project

Looks interesting. I’m a little lost though, I don’t believe I’ve heard the expression “meddings project” before. It’s possible that I’m just being overly dense at the moment, but can you clarify?

why do you need to replace the motor? is it bad? you said you guess... so I ask ?
 
Hi yes i say project (to me) and as FOMOGO says it is the name of the Drill manufacturer built like tanks , i cant even guess at the weight of it even with the head off its rather heavy , and its a bench drill . I want to strip clean etc bring it to its former glory . The quill feels in good condition and tight . Motor i thought for the purists it would need the original motor whatever that was . I would need to make another motor mount as it sits to low to use the bottom pulley , i'm also not sure if its the correct pulley as the belt touches the post , i would assume there should be some clearance . But for what i paid its fine . Apart from collect it at the very last moment , well actually i went to view it as the evil-bay bidding clock was ticking down which ended 60 seconds after i arrived , so with no bids , i basically saved it from the scrap man as they wanted it gone and got it very cheap . So i have not had chance to look at it since been back home .
