Finally got around to working on my Wilton I picked up over the summer. It's a November 1950 date (11-50, no EXP or GAUR marking). Model is 950. From some of the left over paint marks I thought it was a grey one, but when I went to the store and compared with some blue/greys, there was actually...

I started with a Rustoleum primer. Then it's colored with Rustoleum Satin Nickel and Rustoleum Hammered Grey. I then followed up with Rustoleum Crystal Clear. Sadly, that's not a lighting difference. That's a result of poor lighting conditions during painting (i.e. bad paint job). Ugh. I'm...

Finally finished up my grinder (well mostly). Stripped all the paint off and repainted. Also replaced the bearings while I had it apart. I need to replace the power cord and attach the gooseneck lamp. I also need to replace the eye shields. Then I'll be on the lookout for a stand. Some...

Just saw that. It appears that a lot of people have reassembled their grinders without shimming. However, some folks have had rubbing issues and had to shim. I'll give not shimming a whirl. I'm pretty much all painted up over here, just need to find a new lamp shield and a new power cord.

When I'm assembling my grinder, does the motor need to be shimmed (rotor and stator air gap)? Or when reassembling is that gap essentially fixed by the design (the primary shaft seems fixed by the tight bearing fit into the 2 outer housings). Thanks Greg

Have any of you guys converted your 120V grinders to 220V? What do you use for a power cord? Right now mine has a hack job 120V extension cord coming out of it - no grommet for the cord passing through the grinder housing on the back/side. I'd like to go 220V and also make it look nice.

x2 Be safe, if something lets loose it can cause severe bodily injury or death. Safety aside, I also wouldn't use a bar on your press, it wasn't designed to be used that way which means you're risking damaging your equipment. I've never used the heating up method described here but it sounds...

Here we go: https://www.marshallexcelsior.com/gas-box-1-516-m-acmef-pol-single-outlet-12-fnpt-inlet-gray They make a single outlet and double outlet version, in grey, ivory and black. The install instructions are here, it's a PDF, and also contains some specifications (max pressure, temp...

Thanks for all the input in this thread. I'm going to T off before the 2nd stage regulator. My 1st stage regulator is 10 PSI. I ordered this "gas box", which takes MNPT 1/2" and outputs the standard propane ACME male fitting that you can screw propane equipment to (using the standard 1-5/16"...

Thank you OccupantRJ.

Thank you for the link I will look at the pressure rating of my first stage regulator on the tank tonight.

I guess I'm trying to figure out what the approved connection is. Are quick connections acceptable? You can find them rated for "high pressure" up to 250 PSI. What if I used the following connection (attached). I'd have to buy a male quick connect and POL fitting for each piece of equipment I...

I made a mistake with my units. I saw 11 inH2O and missed the unit and assumed PSI. That's why I thought the turkey fryer would work when I saw the 5 PSI on the regulator. It's not an issue for me to repipe to BEFORE the house regulator (tank pressure then). I have a primary/secondary regulator...

Thanks for all the replies. I'll try to provide a little more info and get more if needed! As mentioned, our house is LP. I'm running my line to the grill right after our main regulator (see photo). Right now, my connection ends at the shutoff valve. I need a fitting that goes between the...

Our house has LP. I'm tapping off the main line into the house, right after the regulator. I do know the quick connect fittings exist, but then I realized that I'd have to remake each hose for each piece of equipment, because they all are rubber hoses with crimped fittings. The turkey fryer...

I'm working on a project tapping off our main gas line (after the regulator) to run a fixed line to our deck for our grill. We have LP service at our house. Right now I've got everything run up to the shutoff. Now I'm trying to figure out how to go from the shutoff to the grill. One catch is...

For the bearings on my grinder, do I press them off, and then simply use a set of calipers to record the measurements and then head on to Grainger to order some in the same spec? I've got my 1HP unit all apart. One of the bearings felt loose when wiggled by hand, so I'm just going to replace...

:lol:

Finally got this over the weekend. My FIL picked it up for me and hung on to it until we were visiting again. Pulled the bottom cover and found one of the leads on the relay was disconnected. Hooked it up and it works. Everything feels pretty solid, although I might still do the bearings on it...
