I have the exploded parts diagram in the instruction manual. There is
exactly one piece which runs down from the pulley to house the chuck. It is
a single piece of metal that the manufacturer calls the "spindle". There is
no separate arbor. If you doubt me, I'd be glad to scan the diagram and
e-mail it to you.

Well, amigo, it looks like you are stuck with what you got, unless you
are willing to have at the spindle for putting a new taper on it.
If there is enough meat to it to put a Morse socket into it, that would
be the way to go, otherwise grinding the taper to the next nearest
Jacobs taper looks to be about the only option besides a new drill
press.
If you want to, scan the diagram and put it up in the dropbox at
www.metalworking.com where it can be accessed by all interested parties.
The instructions for using the dropbox are at the link "using he
dropbox" near the top of the page. The upside of that is that it may
come useful to someone down the road.

Yeah. We've commented on that before since it was the source of some
confusion. But the nameplate on the DP I have clearly says JT#2-1/2 and
I've concluded that at one time it may have been a MT but they never changed
the manual.

FWIW, I have a Canon 9950F scanner with ScanSoft OmniPage SE 2.0 which was
used to create a Word version of the document which I then threw into
Acrobat 7.0 to make the PDF. I'd guess that the conversion to text done at
the start of this is responsible for keeping the size down.

LOL! Norm still trolling? I told him a couple of weeks ago
that he has a drill with a Din standard chuck mount, which
incidentally uses a shortened version of the Morse Taper.
