Posting a small drill press vise that was part of an estate I helped sell, but was left behind. Yankee No. 991 "North Bros. MFG CO Phila. PA USA" 1-1/2" wide, 7/8" deep, 1-1/2" jaw opening. Well-abused, but still functions well.

I have been quite busy lately, and haven't been seeking sales. I did accompany my wife to the local charity thrift store, and found all this for $2.50: Indestro 3721 Stubby flat screwdriver Milwaukee Tool & Forge DOE 5/16 SAE x 3/8 SAE Proto LA 1224 Combo 3/4 Armstrong DOE 725-A 7/16 x 9/16...

BD deserves a **** for that Unisaw.

Another **** for BD55!

coachwash *****.

Another **** for timoboy. Nice pick!

Also, the possibility that the "date code" stampings came after the already-marked item was pulled from stock to distribute. This would explain late dated items with round-O PLOMB.

+1 on the repurposed Atlas lathe parts. I suspect that the main part of the machine was originally a surface grinder.

Back in the mid-1990's I rebuilt a Lincoln welder that used a CCKA engine. Even then, parts were hard to find. I rebuilt a P218 a few years ago. It took over a year to get the right pistons, and they were regular ones. I had to buy undersize rod that were honed to standard, and had to...

Please show the box with the lid closed and the latch flipped up all the way. It may have originally just extended over the top of the lid to hold it shut.

The machining marks indicate that the flat was cut with the side of an end mill. Combined with the black oxide coating, my guess is a limited production specialty tool. The one set-screw mark might indicate that it has been mounted in an end mill holder for a milling machine. Perhaps an arbor...

I had a Honda 20-HP V-twin seize an aluminum connecting rod to the crankshaft, galling aluminum to the rod journal, which was otherwise serviceable. I used drain cleaner to soak the aluminum and eat it up, leaving the journal just as good as new.

Zrxrunner referring to post #114 (by four.cycle) in this thread, if you want to look at the original posting.

I've been too busy to go through and post much lately. Here are some things that I've had for a while. They came from estate sales. 1/2 drive and 3/8 drive socket rails Double L wrench, but it is 1/2 x 5/8, which is non-standard DOE LA obstruction wrench, which would be a 1/2 x 9/16 N89, but...

My guess, based on paint color and style of gauges is 1950's. Any later and they had gone to a metallic blue paint. The gauges are later style than the 1940's and earlier. The model number doesn't fit with the usual BT- and VAT- prefixes. It may be a specialty model, which the SX- prefix...

1468 is for the nut that holds the shielded ignition lead onto the top of the spark plug. There are several sizes of hex. If that one is 3/4", it is WWII, and probably not for B-29's. 1343 is for nuts holding the cylinders onto the crankcase. This is for work in the field. For depot and...

I suspect that the molested sockets are a shop-made tool for compressing valve springs/rocker arms for Pratt & Whitney engines. They slip over the valve end (with adjustment screw) of the rocker arm and you pull on the rod to pivot the rocker arm to depress the valve. This frees up the push...

ctuai is killing it lately! Two *****. Also a **** for bmw.

^^^^ Interesting bit of information from the production viewpoint.

Flying Saucer wheels! Donor box for the handles. They are out there, but it may take a while to find.
