Both helpful, thank you!

I looked it up, that's Persian orange like Allis Chalmers used to use. That might be a match.

Thank you!

Thank you but highway yellow is the color for the tractor. I want to paint my toolbox so I want to use the same color as the box in the picture. The box is a totally different color it's orange. Unfortunately I don't have one of those original boxes to get a chip off of or anything.

Hello all, looking for a paint code from vintage Cat tool boxes from the 70s. Box looks like this. As you can see, the box is a different color than the tractor. I believe the box would have been made by Metal Tool and Cabinet Company, from Chicago. Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing SB Cat was a Cat dealer.

I had one, a Snap-on, don't know where it is.

I agree. I have two clickers, and I have used them. But I have more trust in the beam type, I wish I had bought all beam type.

In 3/8 I think my favorite is SK , but lately I've been using a Craftsman with the built-in thumb wheel.

I have a Cman half inch drive I use, along with a Snap On ratchet adapter. Most often for lug nuts. Come to think of it , I probably use it more than my 3/8 in. drive clickers.

Sorry to bring up an old thread,I just happened to come across this. I have a welder like that but newer. I believe most of those old Sears Craftsman welders were made by Century. IIRC Lincoln bought out Century. I think Century made welders for Montgomery Ward as well. Hope this helps with your...

Put my name down for a chance to win the set. I LOVE SK tools!

Co-sign. :) Graders are very productive at getting building pads right on grade, but I think the 30x40 size building the OP describes is pretty small for a grader.

I know some old Craftsman 3/4 in. drive sets were actually manufactured by S-K and they came in a hip roof tool box just like that one. So I'm pretty sure some of the old Craftsman boxes were manufactured by S-K.

She's a good one, keep her.
