    Another what is it thread

    Hey guys, I bought a box lot at an auto repair shop auction over the summer and these were in the box. No name on any of parts. My best guess is something to align your headlights, but I will be danged if I can figure out how they go together. I would appreciate any information if you recognize...

    Vintage Puller Identification

    I picked up this two jaw puller at an estate sale and could use some help identifying it. The only clear number on it is Patent # 2052304 which calls up a 1934 OTC puller that does not look like this one. Just above the patent number, I can clearly make out the number "47". All other markings...

    Cutting Torch Rebuild

    My Harris 72-3 cutting torch is just starting to free flow oxygen. Bill's average rebuild cost is 45 dollars plus shipping, while I can buy the rebuild kit off EBAY for 20 dollars. Anyone ever rebuilt their own torch? Looking at the diagram, it doesn't look like it would be that hard to do. I...

    24" Crescent wrench question

    I have a Diamond Calk 24" adjustable wrench and I need to replace the knurl. I was wondering if the knurl (part # AC124PSK) from a Crescent brand would fit? I would appreciate it if someone had a 24" Crescent wrench if they could measure the length of the knurl and thickness of the threads. Thanks,

    I'm thinking these boxes are from the 70's or 80's? Only have one picture to go by. What would be a good price for both Mac Boxes? Thanks.

They were in a Lincoln Electric can, but the Lincoln Electric was marked out and someone had written Hard Facing with a sharpie across the can. The only markings on the rods are C C 253003. My google...

    Price of welding gas

    Just curious what everyone is paying for welding gas. Matheson is my LWS. I traded in a 280 CF tank (54" tall") that had no paperwork and needed certification testing for a 330 CF tank (60" tall) of 75 argon / 25 CO2. Cost was 138 dollars plus tax. Seems kind of high to me, but they are the...

    Mystery Part Identication

    Went to an afternoon auction, and this part was in one of the box lots that I bought and I can't figure out what it is. The guy had a one man machine shop with Enco mill and I suspect that it might have went with it, but the color is all wrong. It weighs 37 lbs. Any help would be appreciated.

    RUEMELIN Dental Sandblaster Project.

    Thought I would share some pictures of my Ruemelin dental sandblaster. Bought it this past winter and I finally got it up and running. I started out by sanding and repainting the vacuum. When I sandblasted the bottom of the vacuum container, I found it had a lot of rust holes that needed to be...

    Lowes Rustoleum Paint

    YMMV I stopped by Lowes tonight and they had marked down all the regular spray cans of Rustoleum paint to 3.76 a can which is cheaper then their Valspar cans. Hammertone cans where priced at 5.76 a can. They had several cases of blue hawk cans stacked in the aisle. So, I'm guessing they are...

    Cornwell 10 Piece SAE wench Set

    I have 11 piece SAE Cornwell wrench set for sale. They are missing a lot of the chrome plating. 13/16" and the 1" have the most missing chrome plating. I would estimate that 50% of the plating is missing on those two wrenches. There are no owners marks or major dings or scratches on any of the...
