Lug - I have to chuckle at your comment. Brought back the memory of the first platoon I had on active duty back in 72. If I remember correctly among all the stuff I was responsible for was 65 General Mechanics Tool Kits - and that was but a bit of literal tons of equipment. It was in a Light...

Happened to notice the name of your garage - and in being led to this thread see you also build models. You might be interested in this picture of my Uncle's P-51 back in WWII. He spent 3 years flying out of England. Named his plane Slugger, not Sluggo - family name Sluga. But I figured...

Thanks for the comments guys. I'm a user, not a collector - so most of it will go into the tool set I'm building for my grandson - if he cuts his teeth working on a Model A it might as well be with period tools. Couple of the items will go into my box to use - the Williams adjustable crows...

As people have said - aviation can be a big user. Some aviation cultures require total tool control, others do not. I retired from running a flight facility for a major aerospace firm under government contract. With tool control being a requirement and having people who's entire job was...

I posted a thread with mostly nice old Bonney in the Vintage Section. Figured I would link from here. Only date codes were on the large wrenches - KW with 2 or 3 dots on 3 of them, largest one was blank. Deep sockets must have been bought at a change over time. Some had circle CV while some...

The final item came in a machinist's chest I was the high bidder on. I'll just say I basically paid what the box is worth on the low end - and it was full of mostly machinist tools. But in one drawer was a Bonney No 16 Electrical Set, from what I can find. Plus it had one additional small...

Pretty soon another SK socket box came out. But this one held 4 Bonney Open End wrenches. Not much action - $9 Shortly after an SK 1/4 inch drive box came out, with two breaker bars in it, one ratchet and an almost double set of sockets. I forgot to get a picture of that one - was $24

Next item that appeared was an SK socket set box in good condition. But the contents were Bonney and other items. The 4096 breaker bar, with 4092 cross handle and 4095 universal. Then the 11 deep sockets. From the one catalog I looked at Bonney did not make a 7/16 deep socket in 1/2 inch...

Yesterday after church I headed for the local fall consignment sale. When I checked it out last week there were some older tools that appeared well cared for, plus some other items. Came from an estate where the guy must have been a machinist or tool maker from the looks of other things. I've...

I got this at an auction - paid $15 for it. Is there any place that lists what the application of the tools are? 40 some have Carter part numbers and 3 are Snap On. Just trying to figure out what I have without going to each unique carb manual. Thanks. Dale

Milton - I have not tried that but will. The 'failure mode' is that it keeps making the pssshh noise very quickly. To me that meant the air motor is cycling but coming up empty on the output, which I assume is the pressure cutoff. But I will give it a good drink of air tool oil this...

Last summer I picked up this old Alemite unit at an auction - figured it was worth the risk of not working at $17.50. It came complete with a pail of grease about 3/4 full. As the pail is steel, with a wire handle and wood grip the pail is from the 60s at the latest, based on what I used as a...

As you can see the terrain of the place and people's personal preferences impact decisions a lot. Nobody has mentioned the solution I ended up with. At a fall auction - annual event for many area government agencies - I bought a ten year old John Deere commercial mower, front deck (72"). Unit...

Just cut them and weld them to fit. That's what I did, works fine. Dale

Maverick - Check out the saw forum at http://forums.delphiforums.com/woodbutcher That forum has tons of information and the folks that are on it can help you out with any questions. I have the same saw and it is great. Dale

In my working life I was involved in putting in a large industrial building that is, literally, on the very edge of a 100 year flood level. Few years ago the 'hundred year flood' happened and the water lapped at the edge of the building. That said, I have seen people locally challenge the...

Probably a wood cutting band saw - check out vintagemachinery.org as there are pictures of saws like that and more information. http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=486&tab=4 At $150 it is a bargin - and not really much to fix on a band saw. Dale

I used some of the Tamlyn aluminum products when I resided my house last fall. http://tamlyn.com/colorplusflashing/insidecorner.html is the inside corner method I used. Matches the color exactly and pretty much looks like a 1 X 1 but goes up quick. Also got coil stock from them and counter...

I have seen the 5 foot high ones go for $700 plus at auctions around here. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky at an auction. One was in the corner of the office, covered with stuff and kind of hidden - I am sure most people never noticed it (I didn't until a neighbor asked me if I was going to...
