Let me know if you need more detailed Pictures of any of the pieces Don.

Well guys, they didn't finish an inventory, and there are a couple dozen full size extensions in a 5 gallon bucket I didn't get photographed, but here she is in all her present glory. My favorite hydraulic guy has already found soft part kits for the two 10 ton pumps (which need them) and then...

Hello folks. I just read this entire thread and haven't seen a surviving example of a Porto-Power cart with nearly all it's accessories like my Son-in-law just scored helping clean up an estate yesterday. This stuff is still out there and after reading this thread I think he/we may be doomed to...

Hey Robert, how about 2 or 3 hinged "drawers" on each side of that wheel stand like the one in front of the sink in a bathroom vanity but sized and outfitted for your tooling?

"I would think (subject to verification) that the hood should have a slight bit of crown front to back to give it a bit of support. If the opposite side is undamaged, or you know of another one local to you, I'd check the crown to see if there is any or if it's flat as you show. Next, it's...

And finally a salute to you and others who have shared your knowledge with the rest of us. I've spent many, many hours studying your contributions. I would have never dreamed of attempting this just a few years ago. Maybe old dogs can learn a new trick or two if they want to!

These are same set of support conditions measured left to right.

The previous was supposed illustrate that the front to back is pretty flat on the edges. Next is front to back with edge supported and then center supported. Gravity and the support in the center is all that moves the low spot from the center to two low spots fore and aft of center. This seems...

First try at pics on this site but let me try. If this works the first 3 are the right side hood top, the top of the outside radius with "straight edge" (sawyer's guide), and hinge edge with straight edge.

Hey Robert, another very nice touch on the wagon, thanks again for sharing. Neil got my shrinking dies and they should be on their way back better than new in the next day or two, Thank You for the lead. Quite a ways back in one of your threads you covered removing an oil can. I have that write...

Thank you for the quick reply Robert, I routinely wire brush the dies and lube the ramps. They just don't have much grip any more, I may have abused them once, maybe. I'll give Neil a try.

Robert, I've been reading this thread which you linked over from the HAMB for the past 10 weeks and only have a couple pages to go to be current. It's all been said already so all I can add is my thanks for sharing your valuable time with us all. I too have learned SOOO much. I have a general...
