I measured a bunch and found bronze gears that matched up. To be honest I didn't love how they felt for tolerances so it all went back together and seems to work, but I'm not promising him any longevity. $29 for the parts was a lot cheaper than a NOS gearbox for $500 though.

Follow up, the new gears from alibaba showed up and I got my FIL's snowblower put back together. Now I can get it out of my shop!

The boat is officially sold, it’s bitter sweet, but I’m looking forward to finding another fun car to mess with. In the meanwhile I’m chasing boost issues on the G63.

lol it's also been full of waders and fishing gear, honestly I love the G I've just been refreshing it a bunch as I go. Has yours treated you well?

Finally organizing some stuff and pulled the trigger on a vise. Couldn’t find an old one I liked for under $250 so HF it is.

This hits home, my fiancee volunteered me to fix this one. I sent him part numbers to order and I'm giving him a week before I just order everything and knock it out. I've been using an electric snow blower this winter and am a big fan (we don't normally get a ton of snow here), but I think he...

Haha yeah I suspect this thing never had any oil or grease or anything. I’m a little worried about the rest of it so I guess I’m rebuilding a snow blower.

Pulled apart my future father in law’s snow blower and that gear is COOKED

Installer stopped by today to wrap up covering the lines. $4k installed for a 12k btu Mitsubishi mini split seemed like a decent deal.

Stud location is a pain, TV up, centering is optional

I already love it 12k btu with hyper heat.

This is interesting, my 14'x24' is exactly this 4000psi 5" slab fiber mesh only (based on the amount of concrete poured I wound up closer to 6" avg), ~7" of gravel fill on a fairly sandy soil composition vapor barrier underneath as well. The concrete guy talked me into it citing the soil...

Might be a dumb question, but how well was it packaged for shipping?

I don't know how I missed this

It's more than double the fireball I was looking at 😬

True I'm not really in a huge rush. I dig the look of the Wilton bullet so I may try to go that route because why not. Just need to make time to drive out and pick one up. Seems like as long as they're functioning a wire wheel and paint will make them look pretty fresh.

I'd throw a couple hundred at a nice used one maybe a few hundred for something really nice. The fireball is really the only one I was eyeballing at that price point and that's mostly from social media marketing.

Appreciate the assistance I'll have to see if I can pin one down this week! To be honest I'm just trying to unpeel the onion of vises a bit. Lots of options, but I'm not an expert and I don't want to drop $200 on something that's just old and not old and good. Might have to see if I can snag...

The more reviews I read the more convinced I am.

I'll have to hunt down the post. The Doyle from HF also seems to have favorable reviews and I can probably find a super coupon for it.
