I can take more pics if that would help! Sent from my BBB100-1 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Anybody else have any ideas? I think the lock cylinder being on the right side is pretty uncommon. Sent from my BBB100-1 using The Garage Journal mobile app

No sticker or identifying marks that I can find. The drawers have nice ball bearing slides. The handles look like this. Sent from my BBB100-1 using The Garage Journal mobile app

Picked all this up the other day for $65. Pretty much all good USA made stuff. Anybody recognize the intermediate box? I don't see any stampings anywhere. It looks to be pretty old. I didn't snap a pic of the handles but they're the chrome hinged deals. Sent from my BBB100-1 using The Garage...

Did some research and ordered some parts off the auction site. Roller bearing inside the motor pulley is a Torrington B-1816. Other bearings are Fafnir 2020D2 which cross references to a Timken 7109 allegedly. These are pretty pricey! I bought two for the future but will try and reuse the...

I just picked up this same saw in great shape with one of these cool slo speed converters too! BTW the model # of the speed reducer is 9-2342 for those interested. The wide belt was shredded on mine - there's a place in CA that'll sell you a set of two for $25 shipped on the auction site. No...

I've spent hours behind my DeWalt grinder and have wore out 6 or 7 HF wire cup brushes - IMO they work great and I don't find them to be too aggressive on steel. But wear thick clothing, gloves and safety glasses because they WILL toss wires out at high speed every once in a while! And hold...

The steep angles on the blades can really move some air indeed. 82 - I think the original color was kind of a battleship gray but the thing was REALLY rusty and the paint was so faded when I got it. Supposedly they did come in robin's egg blue though. NOT painting my '68 IH Cub 125 since it...

Not really a tool, but sort of? If you need a shop fan, keep an eye out for one of these - they made a ton of them - super cool looking (I think) and they really move some air. I just finished this one. New wiring, start cap, low speed resistor, new fiber washers in the motor and some fresh...

Pretty cool! You took a different approach to how I attacked the same problem a couple of years ago. I used a couple of LVL's, two uprights, a ridge beam and rafters: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101090

This. I have a 125 with hydraulic lift and a QA-36. Plus a set of winter tires (tri ribs for the front and fluid filled/weighted ags for the back). I also put on a slightly smaller pulley to speed the thrower up a little bit. The thing will throw snow like nobody's business.

I had weldcraft do two for me. A+

Simplex was $65 and the Wilton $50. What do I win?
