Are the bases on the various H.P. block style grinders all the same size? I have a 1/2 and a 1 H.P grinder, but the 1 HP is in storage so not available right now. The 1/2 hp model is o n an original Craftsman pedestal. I'm wondering if the 1 hp model will bolt down to the same pedestal. A...

I bought blades for my Craftsman power hacksaw straight from Starrett: https://www.starrett.com/category/saws/power-hacksaw-blades/2414

Thank You gents for all of your help!

I'm looking at a set of grouser steel tracks with pads for my Case 1840 skidsteer. How do I gauge the wear in the pivot points? Seller claims they are low hour tracks, I'm trying to learn how to tell if his description is accurate. Thank You!

Looks like I have another project to add to my list. Thanks for posting it!

That was my first thought :lol:

There should be a little light on the circuit board that blinks in different sequences to indicate a problem, along with a sheet stuck to the access cover detailing the codes. Troubleshooting: http://www.lpgandnh3.com/assets/hot-dawg-troubleshooting-guide.pdf

We have to deal with freeze/thaw cycles and 4+ ft of frost in the winter. Up here 4000psi is minimum on floors, 4500-5000psi for garage floors and driveways. 3000-3500 is considered footing mix up here. In my opinion, the "art" of hand finishing a floor to a very nice smooth surface has gone by...

Thanks for posting your engineering skills and hard work! I have a table saw and a band saw with these type bases. This is an awesome solution and something I can machine in my garage. :beer:

I've watched the auctions on ebay. The parts don't sell very quickly. Small market, most people don't believe in "old stuff". PM me some pics and the model number. If it's what I'm looking for, I may be convinced to drive down and buy yours.

What is HCRC?

OK, Sorry for the delay. I finally got some time to get pics up. I haven't found an info plate anywhere, looked it over pretty good when I pressure washed it. There are 2 small tags attached with wires, the one I can barely read has a number stamped on it, like a tool ID number or something...

Well, it sounds like they want 275 for the floor jack, a 60's model Wayne compressor pump model 378-SV with the original electric motor, a Westinghouse 1 1/2 hp 1725rpm (The air tank is junk, has a hole in it) and a vintage 12 inch wall style vent fan. We agreed previously on 100 for the...

I came across a vintage floor jack when I went to check out a vintage Wayne air compressor. Isn't that how it always works? The jack appears to be identical to the one in these pics at this link: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/marquette-floor-jack-id.443648/ The jack pumps up and...

I've lurked here on and off over a few years, but a little about myself: I'm from Minnesota (As soon as I figure out how to edit my profile, I'll put it in there.) I'll fix, or try to fix, just about anything. The oldest thing I got back up and working was a washing machine from 1915. I do a...
