I use a tool for removing the springs its an OTC-5081 and a roller bushing driver that goes on an air chisel as an attachment. Also good idea to wear a respirator or dust mask.You can fill in the rest as you go along with tools like a drum micrometer.

Run! get out while you still can. This trade *****. You will burnout by 30 or 40 and then it will be too late. Go back to school for something that is stable and not run by crooks & A-holes.However it is a decent hobby.

I have had 2 Snapon locking 1/2 inch drive ratchets. They are prone to unlocking when you least expect it. I don't recommend it. The flex pivot area is flimsy too. One guy in my shop just ripped the head right off of my long handle one.

Thanks Hiball, I'll try t.

I have a hydraulic floor jack that works well and doesn't even leak down. The problem is that it wont raise from the fully retracted position. If I lift up the saddle pad slightly and advance the piston it starts working fine. I have bled it as best I can. No leaks either.Does anyone have any...

:thumbup:My new Snapon long handle 3/8 drive.

What I do is clean off the connector and study it to see how it wants to slide off. Look around it for the squeeze tab and see if it is locked in with a c.p.a.. That's what they call a connector position assurance wedge that they slide in crossways to keep the main plug from falling out. After...

I don't recognize the others but the long tool in the center of the picture is for driving out Model A Ford valve guides. The last is used to retract the carbon brushes in starter motors and generators.

Hey KM thanks for sharing your jack pics. I'm amazed how much these 2 brands resemble each other. I guess there's only so many different ways to build them in those days. I'm suffering a long time addiction for those jacks already. I have several types of period mechanical floor jacks. Always...

Here's some pics that I took today of my Marquette floor jack after some resto work. I was lucky that the hydraulics on it work fine and doesn't leak. I was able to put together a set of new rear casters to replace the original set which was missing. They'll be okay until I can find a set of...

I think that the larger ammo cans are more worth the effort.

I believe that's a Ford Model T tire tool.

If you look on YouTube there's a bunch of videos on making a small woodstove out of them. Pretty cool.

I got this Marquette model H- 3 ton floor jack last week off of C.list. I cant find much info on it other than the 1928 patent drawings. I'm taking it apart for a cleaning and paint job. The seller stated that it didn't work but with a little bleeding it came back to life. I have a thing for old...

Ive seen similar tools that were for very early piston ring compressors.

It looks like a WATCO 1.5 ton floor jack. My father bought one in the early 1970s.
