    Check out my score from Northern Tool today

    I bought 6 of the smaller size boxes at Port Clinton Ohio and found they were very heavy and filled with little copper and brass tubes which I have been trying to use up as fast as my busy schedule and wife will allow. :thumbup: Carter

    Is this a good deal on this IR compressor

    Seems like a good deal to me. I spent over $1000 for a 2 stage 5hp 60 gal. IR unit and had to haul it home myself. When you think about the time spent and truck costs involved, free delivery makes it a bargain. :thumbup: Webshots IR compressor album...

    Garage Work Pits,who has them?

    Thanks A_Pmech, yeah the NDTs are a dead giveaway for PWs and M37s, also as you pointed out they both used that rear. It's not the strongeat one ever designed but since it's stock and that's the look I was going for I left it in rather than convert to something better/stronger. Carter

    Garage Work Pits,who has them?

    1953 Dodge M37, I have two, one I restored and one I just got and will be putting back on the road. Also: It's a operable Onan 10KW PE95K Army generator that I restored sitting in trailer, powered by a Willys flathead 4cly 134 engine. Carter

    Garage Work Pits,who has them?

    I have one that I put in when I built the garage 30+ years ago and use it for a variety of auto repair jobs on my cars and trucks. When not in use I cover it with timber planks cut to fit into the recessed area of the floor so I don't loose any floor space. Never fell in and haven't blown myself...

    Thanks Jay, Sandy is one to have. Several years ago and with her agreement I made a very large purchace of rifles and ammo from the CMP and last year when M1 Carbines were available made another big buy, also with her OK. She doesn't mind my getting things of value and we don't hide stuff from...

    New IR Compressor, 2340L5, 60 gal.

    I thought it looked to small also. My friend who is a mechanical engineer for Becton Dickenson gave me the tubing and the regulator/oiler said it was large enough to do what I wanted it for. The Reg./oiler were assembled this way when it was given to me so that's how I installed it. If you think...

    New IR Compressor, 2340L5, 60 gal.

    Thanks for the reminder, I was made aware of the oily air hoses before I hooked everything up so I installed two quick disconnects, both a different type so I can't use the wrong hose and have them both coated with oil, one of them is for dry filtered air and the other for oiled air with a...

    New IR Compressor, 2340L5, 60 gal.

    I have never had a large new one although I have had several old small portable units that I have used over the past 30+ years that would not operate the sand blaster or air tools without letting them rebuild pressure and decided it was about time to get something better. I picked this one up at...

    M37 Dodge pic test

    Thanks KC; The civy ones are great, much the same drivetrain but with a longer cargo box and a nice closed cab. I would like to have one but since several stripped M37s were given to me and I was able to make a complete one out of doner trucks this is what I have. It has the orig 5:83 rears so...

    The engineering company I worked for designed both of them, the Tydings (I95) and the Haytem (US Rte. 40) bridges and I used to climb the steel while inspecting them both. Nice view of the Susquehanna River from the tops of them.
