Fellas - I collect and refurbish old chainsaws in my spare time, and sometimes you run across parts that are super difficult to find on a fairly common saw. That's what we have here -- the Stihl 1111 series saws were big beastly saws from the 1970's - either 89cc or 111cc. They are a...

I'm rebuilding a vintage (1960's) chainsaw and it has the brown non-metallic washers (or are they gaskets?) on the oil line fittings. I'm trying to order an assortment of these but for the life of me I can't find them on Amazon. They're the same size, shape, and thickness as a washer, but...

It's on eBay with no reserve. Lots of pics and details in the ad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324465237425 Thanks

fellas - I'm working on a few vintage saws - Jonsereds XF (60's) and Jonsereds 111S (70's). I'm down to my last felling dog for each one; figured I would see about getting some made if it's feasible. Dogs for both are 1/8" thick. I'm sure I could get it done locally, too, but since these...

Ok, so I feel kind of guilty every time I use a standard parts store worm gear hose clamp on a nicer car. I did a search here and found 5 pages of threads on hose clamp pliers, but nothing about hose clamps themselves. I did see a few brands mentioned - Lawson, Wurth, Norma, and Breeze...

I use a come along fairly often -- usually pulling non-running cars into the garage or on a car trailer (I have a winch but haven't always had one). I also use around the yard periodically. My latest one was the HF 2 ton unit. https://www.harborfreight.com/2-ton-cable-winch-puller-61964.html...

Fellas - I need to do some mild fabrication this weekend and was wondering if there are some general rules on the best method to use to attach items to. I need to make a small bracket to attach the front grille centerpiece on my Alfa. That will involve drilling a hole or two in some...

Fellas - I'm in need of a good 2 jaw pinion yoke puller. Will mostly be used for Ford 9" rear diffs. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks Scott

Fellas - Mill is local to me. Listed for $1200. Sitting outside now, so it has a bit of surface rust. He has a video of it running. Any ideas on whether it's a good mill for hobbyist? Worth $1200? Edit: No tooling. Guy said he is firm at $1200.

Fellas - Need to replace a few roller tips on vintage (1960's) Jonsereds chainsaw bars. I drilled the old solid rivets out and I need to install the new (used) tip. The hole that the rivet needs to fill is .161" - same as a #20 drill bit. The bar itself is about .19" wide, but the roller...

Fellas - 42" South Bend. Lathe is local. Needs a motor. I've been looking for a lathe on and off for a few years; would just be used in my garage for minor fabrication. Anyway, now isn't a great time to buy, but if it's a super deal, I may pull the trigger.

Fellas - Have a 3,000+ sq foot house on a .8 acre lot. Recently repainted; the old floodlights (30 years old) and exterior lights are being replaced. Electrician will be here this morning. As it stands, there are a pair of floodlights on each corner of the house. Any reason to change that...

Fellas - Two car attached garage, and I find myself dragging stuff outside periodically for dirty work - mostly my "portable dirty room" wooden workbench on casters. Also periodically have to push a vehicle in the garage that refuses to start. This is all complicated by a 1.5" lip in the...

Fellas - One for sale locally. I've been itching to upgrade my garage drill press, and it certainly seems like this would be a step up. It's a Wilton, and would have been manufactured by their Boice Crane Division in Winchester, Tennessee. I was thinking the price is way out of line at $950...

Double post.

Fellas - I picked up a used Hougen 10904 mag drill recently. Need to drill a few dozen holes in the 5/8" top of my fab table and this was a good enough excuse to buy one. I'm sure I'll find other uses for it, of course. Here's what I'm trying to figure out -- it came with several annular...

Bought the jack several years ago and it's just been sitting. Don't think I'll get to it in the next few years so it's up for sale. Guy I bought it from said it was working fine, but I haven't tested it. Handle is busted, as you can see in the pictures. I have about $500 invested. First...

Fellas - My garage is full of industrial boltless shelving - I could use some external L brackets of some sort to hang on the outside - something that I could use for storing lumber, hanging things from, etc. Looking for something along these lines but set up to attach to the boltless...

Fellas - I picked up a 10 bolt 3.90 rear diff for my 68 GTO a few years ago. It was in good shape, but I noticed it had a larger bolt in the bottom middle position on the rear diff cover, so I figured someone had just stripped the threads, drilled it out, and installed a larger bolt. I was...

Fellas - We recently bought a house that's 31 years old. 3600', San Antonio, TX. It has 3 AC units. One is 20+ years old, another is 12 years old, and yet another is 7 years old. We recently had the units serviced - capacitors changed, coils cleaned, etc. Guys who did the work recommended...
