Agreed! That is a mighty fine restore job! ...

I've decided to leave mine naked. I hit it with a wire wheel again, lubed it up and wiped it down with CLP to keep the rust at bay. I'm going to get to work on a stand for it now. ...

Nice! That's gonna hold a LOT of rattle cans! ...

I'm kind of diggin it "naked" too. If I paint it, I want to paint it as close to the original color as possible - *IF* I can even find out what color it would have been. I've got nothing in searching "Athol No 41 vise" :dunno: ...

Got the paint stripped. Used Aircraft Paint Stripper, then dunked in a hot water / blue Dawn dish washing liquid bath with a wire brush to get most of the paint off. Next was Engine De-greaser to get the bulk of the gunk out of inside the slide and static jaw. Finished off with a wire brush on a...

Sorry for the sideways pics - don't know why Photobucket does that to me often, but they usually "sync" up and correct in an hour or so. No, I sure don't. Seen it hit CL, txt the guy and met him an hour later. Looked at it, paid him $50 and loaded it in the truck. He said he "picked it up at a...

Sure thing. Here is the bottom of the vise and then the vise seperated. The dynamic jaw just pulls right out. Clamped the vise down to get some better pics. Here's a shot of the half nut. In this pic, the vise is open 10 3/4" Pic showing the gap on between top of the slide and static...

Yep, just like you said. I realized this when I picked it up by the handle and end of the slide and the static jaw slid and pinched the heck out of my finger :yikes: ...

So, this one is a little different than the normal "tool" find. I ride motorcycles and have several sets of gear (leather suit, leather & textile jackets, pants) that I need to store. I had the in-side closet space at our old house, but we are now living in a smaller place until we get a new...

Been watching CL for an old vise for a while now. Picked this one up this evening. It's an Athol, jaws are 4 1/2" wide and the dynamic jaw is quick adjust. I can't make out what the text says on the bottom pic, "No 42"? Been searching and can't find another one like it on the web so far, which...

Thanks for the help. Why I was asking about a washer on the back, I didn't realize it's hard to notice in the pics, but there is a washer visable against the piston, then the 40mm shaft lenght that has a C-clip at the end. I was assuming (yea) that the metal c-clip wasn't likely to just be in...

Hiball, I've looked at several places online for the U-cup and there are many variations of styles / materials but I've not been able to find one at all that matches the size 40x22x12 and ran into same issues with the wiper listed....many variations of style / material but no matching sizes. Do...

OK, so here's what I got.....couldn't get the jaws of the calipers into the bore because it sits back inside the reservoir. So, I measured the OD of the Main Ram and the nylon washer that was on it to get close - should be fairly close, right? Measurements for Ucup Main Ram / washer OD = 1.572"...

I pulled my jack apart today. It's a Central Hydraulics (HF I assume) 2 1/4 ton, I have no idea of age. Looks like the Ucup (if this is correct) has turned to sludge. I used a screwdriver (gently) to poke and chip away at whats left of it down inside the tube. It's coming out, but may be...

Glad I found this thread! I came across a free (non working) HF 2.5ton jack a couple years ago. Figured I'd take it for a project or parts since it was free. I'm gonna dig it out and have a go at getting it working again and use as my backup jack!! ...

Picked up the 5 drawer cart yesterday. Been kicking it around in my head a while and this thread helped push me over the edge :D I'm only going to use this in my home shop for 'motorcycle only' tools / working. I have no desire to hang screwdrivers and prybars down the sides so I decided to...

I went ahead and ordered some things under the 15% code and dang if my wife didn't txt me a pic of 5 boxes on the porch this morning before noon.!!! ...

I can't believe I missed this dang sale :mad: I've been researching and putting items in my cart for 2 days and I got busy at work and missed it by 12 min :sad: ...

Thanks for the idea, I need to pick up a couple of these as well. :thumbup: ...

I hope they keep the red. I found out too late that they went to smooth finish and looked everywhere, even called corp office trying to find a second one in crinkle finish bit no luck. Black tool boxes are too dark inside for my tastes, plus they show every nick, smudge, dust across the shop. ...
