At least I think it's for Steevo! (Anyone can chime in...) I remember seeing a post/picture of some plastic bins that fit the 3x5 card files,m made by Equipto/Lyon/Others. Am I misremembering this or is there a good fit. Here is one of my Lyon drawers; The bin is too tall for the drawer by...

I got a treadmill to use as parts. The PO said "The belt squeaks when it's running" so gave it away. I wanted it for the motors, as this one also has the lift motor, as well as the main treadmill motor, and I'm hoping that can be used, possibly as a lift motor for a DP table. There are other...

I think it may be an old Rock island; - can anyone confirm, and if so, how old would you guess it is? The No. in the side is 53-1/2

OK now that I have your attention! :evil: I got some food sale 7 gallon jugs, (blue plastic, had food grade oil in them, I've cleaned them and will use them for water transport for camping) They are marked 02 (inside the recycle triangle) and PE-HD under that. I want to paint the lower...

No, it's not a :supergay: thing, but it may be generational! How many of you have one in the tool box? I've cleared out a fair number of boxes I bought this past spring & summer and every one of them had a nail file in it. I've had one in mine also for ages, but I've upgraded to the diamond...

Sometimes the obvious just jumps out at you... I do most of my hammering near my vise, and my old Craftsman roller is within arms reach of both my vise and my DP. I had a roll of insulated solid strand 12 ga. wire sitting next to where this was, and in just a couple of minutes made these...

Picked this up for a quarter yesterday; today I went looking for any makers marks before putting it away: I was a little shocked to see who the maker was! :eyecrazy: I was also amused by the "US of A" stamp, you don't often see the "of" in there! :D

Reed? Rock Island? Someone else?

I've had an imported (Taiwan) Hammer impact for about a long as I have had automotive tools. (had to have SOMETHING before I finally got an impact wrench...). I still use them in selected uses, as they are a better tool for those applications, (Philips fasteners in general, but MC cases in...

I'm trying to tune the startup on a control board to a treadmill motor I'm setting up for a new (to me) Rockwell DP. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2464215#post2464215 It’s a variant of the MC 30 (30A version of the MC 60) and came with the Motor, (all the rest of the...

I have a need to have this Gear motor reversible. Connected as is and line voltage on the yellow and black, it runs fine CW. I have what seems like a good candidate Gear motor, an old Dayton with 4 wires and 2.8 RPM output. Why 4 wire unless its' reversible? It runs fine with CW rotation...

And in with the new! As in a new (to me) Rockwell DP! Its a Rockwell Drill Press Series Number 15-017, which I know Jack, and a few others here on GJ have. Found it on CL, listed for $65. no pics (How not to sell anything on CL...) So I did some Googling on it, and decided to call and see...

I picked this up over the weekend with other tools in a box buy. I don't think its a calking iron, but can't think of anything else it might be fore. The PO was definitely into larger tool and work FWIW, as the 3/4" sockets and breaker attested to (three sockets all above 2"; Oddly the...

I have a decent selection of different levels of 3" vises, and thought this would be a good way to show the differences between the homeowner/mechanic level vise and higher end machinist's vises. (The question comes up often enough) The candidates for this were: Columbian No. 63 Red Arrow - 10...

I just got a pair of 12X12 lockers for free, door frames are 61" tall, and the back to the ground is 6 foot, (they have the sloped tops, and short legs) They need some work and definitely to be painted, but the doors in particular are sound. I've see these taller lockers used vertically, and...

In another thread I noted the Columbian C43 had a 3" wide jaw. OK common knowledge that many vise model No's use the last digit for the jaw width. Since I had one, I opened it up and, 4" max opening 4 and 3, 43! (Click!) My Parker 974 is right there: 4" jaws, 7" opening! (74) I also have...

OK more "stuff" from the big buy I made a week ago last Sunday. Its a mad mix, as the PO appears to have worked on many different facets of vehicle repair. I've found every sort of specialty repair tools (and parts) from engine rebuilding to interior trim, probably windshield replacement...

Some of you know I bought a life long mechanic's tools last Sunday. There are a few things I either don't have a clue on, or finally found something on line, but will post here to see how astute the GJ membership is for vintage stuff! :D One drawer in the bottom box had a LOT of old...

But the Metric DOE wrenches I get that are European sourced don't make much sense to me...:wtf: What is the logic behind pairing an 8 with a 13 MM? (I'm assuming these are commonly used sizes in Europe, but I don't use either very often...) Also does the same maker make them under different...

First up: I thought this was an old 20's-30's bottle socket when I picked it up with a half dozen other more conventional sockets. I didn't see the splines inside until I started cleaning it up... Any clues what this is for? the hex is 3/4": id that makes any difference, and the interior...
