A friend wants me to clean this up and paint it for him. Can you tell me anything about it. The only marking is the big 5 on each side. Thanks.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I'm going red. Any idea how old it is? It's marked 404 1/2. The jaws measure 4-1/2".

This belonged to my grandfather. I wire wheeled and cleaned it's insides good. What color should it be painted?

I rarely ever see a farrier hot shoe a horse. They beat shoes out cold all the time. Now I have had some say don't beat directly on the face with a hammer.

My ex-wife had my tractor locked up with a grade 70 chain. I busted the handle on the bolt cutters the first time I went after it. I went back with a Hitachi cordless grinder the next week. I have the drill so I saved having to buy batteries. 2 seconds with a cutoff wheel. Got up on the tractor...

I recently had to reclaim my tractor. After reading here about cutting grade 70 chain,I went and bought a cordless grinder.It worked much better than bolt cutters plus I was able to remove the steering wheel lock she had put on it.
