Oh those are SWEET! love the Bonneys on the bottom pic. Now I hafta go diggin in some boxes to see what I can come up with. And no I didn't post them on the Affliction thread, should I?

Thanks for the info McBrownie, I do want to keep it. The split nut idea is great idea. Have you guys seen this grinder before? my searches have bought up nothing. I'm assuming I can't buy parts for it.

no I haven't tried or researched any other method of fixing the threads, but I will. I apologize I should have researched it more before I asked. I Figured the die was going to be my only option. thank you all.

I picked this grinder up because I thought it looked cool, it needed help. When I got it it had wheels on it and nuts holding the wheels on. so I thought no big deal should be easy. NOT The left hand side arbor was stripped and the right is not perfect. I figured i would just clean up the...

The twenties? really? that is awesome. I'll check the site, thank you very much! I'm glad you guys like them. If Dad was still around, he'd be happy someone else liked them too. I'll try to pin down the years and get back with ya.

thanks all, I think they are very cool! How old do you guys think they are?

This is a set my Dad gave me. I don't use them, most still have the stickers on them, don't want to wear them off

Sorry It took so long but here is the paint I used

Thank u! I thought these wrenches were cool when I found them. I'm Into Jeeps so finding out that Barcalo made tools for these kits takes this to a whole different level for me. The hunt is on!

d42jeep that is to cool, thanks for the pic

Exmaxima1 thanks for the info, when I get off work I'll check on the brand of paint. I know the dark grey was a hammer and the silver was a metallic.

Ah sorry ibgradwell, and thanks for the info lugnutz. I was reading on another forum, that Barcalo made tool kits for the Military WWII Jeep. Lugnutz is that correct? cool history

The is one on Ebay that has the exact wrench that is marked Barcalo buffalo. Does anyone know the time period? I'm guessing that they were not made to long if there isn't a lot of these around ??

Vertguy I know what you mean about keeping them OG, I wouldn't either, mine was in bad shape. I like to tinker, makes you feel like you rescued a puppy or something when you redo one tho. haha Tore down a "rescued" Cman table saw tonite. Don't need it but cound'nt see it go for scrap.

Never thought about the stealing part. I find the history of the companies and the companies they supplied, fascinating. Seem like some guys I know just want cheap, disposable tools. I like the ones with our history behind them
