Thanks guys all good options. I think I will clean it up a bit and stop by the local service center to see if they have a microscope to read the serial number so they can date it.

Yes the hackzall, sorry. I will have to get to see if I can date it. Looks like the motor is a sealed unit. Parts seem to be reasonable and available so I think I will pull it apart.

Just wondering if any one has taken one of these apart and tried to repair one. I know they are not that much money but I I do not follow the just pitch it mode of thinking. Kid put it on a charger last week and I went to use it tonight but just a little puff of smoke out of it. Sort of...

You can also buy "drops" at the mom and pop places. Metal supermarket is kind of pricey on small orders. I use to buy surplus new steel at Belson near Kankakee They also sell new steel. Northern Ill Steel in Channohon are decent folks but you need to be a business and pay with a credit card...

I have seen some blue sky work and seems ok.

What is this worth? I may have a chance to pickup this vice. I hope it will be attached to the 5 x 6 x 1 inch plate table that I made about 15 years ago. It has 4 air cylinders to lower wheels so it can be rolled around. [/IMG]

You have a talent and a tool, while it may be taboo to "sell" such a item I sure would be willing to barter a 6 pack if I needed .....Great work.

If you don't have the ability to weld those holes shut, a little tick you can do is to JB weld a patch from the inside, use a little JB as "bondo" to fill in the divit on the outside. Make sure the battery charger you are using is not an automatic one, they do not work. You need an old...

Congrats on a resto project. You could turn the top into a "mini hutch". It looks like you still have the alum trim piece on the front of the drawer. That needs to come off befoe it gets ruined in the dip. Do you have an amp meter on the battery charger? I make up a slurry of powder in a...

Thanks, Just looked at a picture sent to me. Looks like it was made by Challanger in Louisville KY. This is a very large/ tall 12K lift. Doing research on Challenger its probably a 12-2 installed in 2013 and looks like new. I will call Challenger lifts and confirm they made it and parts...

Nice work. I like the nutsert idea to support it. As far as a top, I would make a hybrid, half stainless and half maple/appatong or something cool. You can get tubular locks at other sources keyed alike, but I would probably just dremel a small slot in the one face. My opinion is that...

Wondering if anyone is familiar with AMMCO lifts out of LaVerngne TN I have a model B2127 12K two post lift that seems to be in great shape. It does not appear that they are still in business. The plan for this shop most likely will end up with this lift being put up for sale in the near future.

Nice score, it must have meant to be since you were getting paid to be there!

Welcome, I am near Joliet. Lots of stuff to pick up here.

Hook a second battery in parallel to the dead one with a pair of jumper cables and hook the negative lead from the charger to the neg on the dead battery and the positive to the good one.

I just degreased a piece that was caked in grease in with zep degreaser (purple stuff) heated up on a big turkey fryer. Degreased and stripped paint. Followed that up with a hot bath in dawn dish soap seemed to work good. Took a few hours per batch have not seen any problems on the pot...

You can "have it" but you can't scrap it in Illinois. Only the actual railroad can scrap it and its documented to the hilt. Or so they say.

Thanks, I knew I had seen one at HF.

Thats what I had at my old shop Nice kit. Wish OTC had a small version. I will keep looking. or make something. Hard to justify that kind of money for this project. Those work real nice to pull a bass bearing out Found similar with OTC branding. OTC Tools 4505 19 Piece Bushing Driver Set
