Thx for the suggestion. I just climbed up the side and was pleasantly surprised by the condition. NO rust whatsoever on top - the side 45 degree face seems to have gotten scraped lightly by something - that caused that rust. It's surface only. The front section is all - wire wheeling that...

Hello, I recently bought the back half of an Omaha work truck that has begun transformation into what will be my mobile welding rig. I'm a hobbyist that is looking for side work. The truck was a yellow/green and there is some discoloration from the roof in rust - but doesn't seem to be any...

Thx I found the issue with the guidance of a video I found for the same issue - the clutch spring that you are describing is missing entirely. Good memory YOU have! Thx

Hi, Hoping someone here has experienced this - I have a Craftsman snowblower with two handle levers - one to engage the auger and the other to engage the drive to move it. New - if I engaged the auger then the drive I could let go of the auger handle to adjust the snow throwing direction and...

<Deleted thread>

So I mounted it - goes between the carb / air cleaner. Westinghouse is allegedly sending me a spring - they sent a pretty sh!tty picture of how the spring looks mounted - maybe it will be obvious. Have been super unimpressed with the availability of Westinghouse support - unfortunately. Once...

I've heard the HF Vulcan welders are actually rather decent. From the looks of the weld it seems to be true. I also wish I could have a replicated tool inventory at home and where I keep mine (in a garage at work) - or just to have a garage closer to my home. I almost fell prey to a "want" vs...

Hi, Westinghouse Tech support is VERY DIFFICULT to get to - I have a simple question and hope someone on this forum has a similar generator. I bought this last December - it's the Westinghouse 9500W / 12500W peak gas powered unit. Hanging from wires under the handle face was a metal plate...

Hey all, I've read through a number of threads about the Eager Beaver chainsaw's. I got this one free of Craigslist a few years ago - was smoking but ran. Cleaned it up, serviced - now purrs and starts first pull most times. My chain just snapped - it has "mini 370" stamped on the links. I...

@larry4406 - thanks for the manuals

Thx rmwrd0 - headed to hobby machinist right now. I ended up brushing, vacuuming and wiping down with a shop towel which cleaned it up nicely. then - I discovered how to use the power feed function of the deck - saw a video online and never realized I had that. it's cleaned up rather nicely...

@Hoorn - yeah I'm an idiot sometimes - must have looked at the last posting date from the first page and thought "I'm next!" duh! o_O

sound advice. I'm going to begin by blowing it all off/out with some compressed air. I want to clean but not strip the paint and have several recommendations in hand from the Craftsman-King Seeley benchtop drill press i just restored with guidance in this forum - (did the only logical next...

Hi, Would this help? It's a wiring diagram that came with the lathe I bought off a neighbor - was in all of the original documentation. My controller is similiar/identical - didn't use the original DELCO motor rather a replacement - while I'm comfortable with some wiring I had an electrician...

Looks like this thread ran out of steam some time ago - but ... here is my floor drill press anyway!
