    clean/shine aluminum flagpole?

    Got a 30' aluminum flag pole at my workplace that needs prettying up. I guess it's "anodized" aluminum, or perhaps "spun" or "brushed" aluminum, and looks to have the very fine brushed or spun looking texture going around its diameter. Anyway, over time and neglect it seems to have a dirty...

    how can I get this pump body off

    I want to get this pump body off the coupling to the engine on this old portable fire pump piece of equipment. There's eight nuts I've removed from the studs of the pump body around the flange. There's a rubber gasket between the pump body and the coupling. The pump manufacturer (Darley Co.)...

    remove pump off engine inquiry

    Here's another picture of that old Darley portable fire pump I've been thinking/working/posting on: My question at this point is in regard to going about removing the pump portion from the old model (23A) Briggs engine, so I might run/test the engine (for extended times and higher-end...

    pump "exhaust primer" operation inquiry

    I acquired this old early 60's era W.S. Darley (manufacturer) portable fire pump. I was cleaning it up, looking it over, rebuilt the carb, generally hoping to get it into running condition, maybe getting ready to try a start-up on the thing before long. I have some operating instructions but am...

    homemade thread chaser

    I was experiencing what was seeming like some excessive resistance when trying to remove at least one of the four spark plugs from my '92 Accord. While unscrewing as it was becoming close to being out, it began getting tighter to turn. I did manage to finally slowly work it out by applying a...

    washer size

    While re-assembling the timing tensioner business during working on my car (Honda Accord) I've discovered I've somehow misplaced (lost) a metal washer, shown as #28 in the following diagram. The parts list describes it as "washer 10.3x25" just as I've typed. I'm fairly certain I recall this...

    staple gun wire attachment

    I have the Arrow staple gun model T-50P and also have a wire attachment model W-T-50 (shown in picture here at bottom of post). First of all, I'm not clear on how or even whether this particular wire attachment might attach to the staple gun. When I go to the Arrow website, the wire attachment...

    tubing cutter wheel

    I have an older model tubing cutter, an Eastman Imperial model 312-FB "Hi-Duty". I'm needing a replacement cutting wheel for it but I notice by going to the Eastman Imperial website that this particular model has been updated/re-designed and is now called the 312-FC. I called directly to the...

    electric chain saw

    I acquired this old electric chainsaw a long time ago and have never seemed to have a need for it. Because I already have a smallish size sized gas powered (2.8 horse power) chainsaw with an 18" bar that I can easily grab and use for most things in general in which I'm needing a chainsaw. Seems...
