I disassembled the Wilton 60 and my small Wilton. After masking all the machined surfaces I glass bead blasted the parts, primed them, and applied a finish coat of grey hammered paint. The hardware is yellow zinc plated. I still need to machine a set of jaws for the 60, I contacted Wilton and...

Here is the stamped numbers on the keyway. It seems to be a June 1969 date.

I aquired this Wilton no 60 vice. It seems to be in very nice condition. My plan is to disassemble it, lube everything, then paint it the correct color. I plan to use it when it is done. It does have feature that is new to me, the stationary jaw is capable of swinging when the pin is released by...

I would think for home use a shaker that will accept aerosol cans in addition to larger sized containers would be preferred. Does the HF and Astro have this capability?

I have been using a Grasshopper for decades. Mine has a 23hp Kohler, grass catching attachment, and a hydraulic deck lift. With the deck out front it mows under trees easily.

I have drilled and tapped the fastener hex head for a screw that fits the Adel clamp. This eliminates the need for modifying the clamp.

I Parkerize the hardware when I do restorations. It is somewhat durable. I also have had many parts Zinc plated by a local company, so far they have held up well but the car is not an everyday driver...

Mine is 100’ behind the house. Close enough to keep an eye on it, and within range if I see unwanted activity.

There Is an app for that! Seriously, I have used this free tool from Tremec transmissions, it is easy to use and works very well. https://tremec.com/aftermarket/tremec-toolbox-app/

I’m another guy who saw Enco and thought it was ENCO. (Energy Company) I collect ENCO petrolinia.

Thanks! I used this type of product because of chips, sparks and other debris that is common in a working shop. It is a simple pour on and spread with a foam applicator floor sealer, I sourced it from a local chemical company. https://dwdavies.com/product/hard-kote

I saw that offering also, the factory A/FX Comets (20 plus one station wagon) were Calienti’s , mine is a Cyclone. There was one of 20 near here years ago, I tried to buy it but missed out, it has since been restored and is in a private collection. I see the Mecum Comet sold for $440k including...
