If it is Japanese will there be markings on it?

Got it free from the neighbors. Wondering if it’s worth fixing up or not. Anybody know the maker or rough age?

That’s what I’m thinking! They do sell a few singles and I’m gonna see if there’s any size I might be missing. May not be the greatest wrench but I’ll probably never wear it out. I’m a bit of a tool connoisseur so I would like to try them and see what they’re like.

I’ve been looking at some of the wrenches offered and wondered if any of you have tried them. https://massfabricator.com/collections/all?page=1 Thanks! Fred

Thanks guys! I appreciate it!

Thanks Shadow!

Ok! I just looked them up on eBay and $95 doesn’t seem too far out of line now!

I like the burgundy one!

How much are proto tool boards worth nowadays? I found some with the flying lady logo at the top and would like to make an offer on a few of them, but I feel like they are overpriced. There are probably 8 to 9 boards, all different board numbers, and they’re asking $95 apiece!!!

It wasn’t until I started playing around with the tecumseh that I realized it had a cut shaft. Yeah, I should be right in that range once I add the blade adapter to the shaft. Currently at about 7/8 without the adapter.

Mocked the new spacer up tonight and I think it’ll be about perfect. It’s a bit difficult to determine exactly where the blade should be located height-wise in the deck. Previously I spent a good bit of time trying to determine where that should be. I measured various mowers, all of which varied...

After not having much luck in finding someone to build an affordable engine spacer for me, I started second guessing my engine choice for this project. I considered four.cycle’s engine and some others I had laying around, which led to some interesting looking modern engine reinventions of my...

Yeah, did some more digging last night, and while I can’t find one that is exactly like mine, it looks like original engine was probably a 3hp Briggs with the windup crank on top.

Probably some helpful info here, but I’m hard pressed to be able to read all of it.
