Guess, This is not been used for 10/20 years and rust got stuck on the engraved vertical tube. Seem like no play on the bearing. look solid but not sure how to get it roll up and down again. maybe a full strip out including some proper flame to keep metal mowing?

For some reason I'm thinking Pollard Corona but I could, and probably am, completely wrong wrong wrong.

Done a quick of photos search and look like the had similar height adj.
Will need to take it apart as currently does not drops. Spin fine but does not drop down.

Looks like a Pollard base and column but possibly and probably it's had a different motor/drive fitted at some point.
The Pollard base and columns are awesome lovely things designed to last forever and a day, so probably worth rebuilding.

I was thinking Pollard too, like an early version of a 12FX perhaps, I think a lot of manufacturers made similar drills though.
It looks like there's a flat belt pulley under the front vee belt one, which suggest it's old and been modified.

All the pictures I found of Pollard ones had a rectangular flange on the bottom of the column. His is semi-circular. I looked at Alfred Herbert ones but none of those are correct. The 'swoop' at the top of the column is different to any photos I can find. The method of height adjustment is standard to that style of drill.

Have you covered it / soaked it in penetrating oil, i.e. WD 40.
Acetone and ATF, works better apparently.

It looks pretty well soaked to me. If it's a stud into a blind hole then the nut should unscrew but, since the lot's rusted together expect the stud to wind out.

It is for the spindle height. No access to the back side that why made the question.
