That Mauser micrometer is cool. They made lots of tools (even a car) between WWI-WWII and again after WWII to survive in the post war economy. Neat!

Trying to figure out what VFD I should get for my lathe motor. Its a 220v 3 phase 3/4HP unit. I have at my disposal a standard 110v wall plug or a 220v dedicated plug. All things being equal is a 220v powered VFD better than a 110v VFD? Or doesn't it matter since 220v 3 phase comes out the...

My windows came in and I installed them... paint booth now sucking air only through the filters! Quieted down the exhaust fan noise a lot. I purchased a Logan 825 lathe a while ago and my old man was kind enough to pick it up and bring it home as a x-mas present... nice present, it was 10...

Ah so! Great info thanks!

I was looking for a name I could search for value... don't want to get taken to the cleaners. I agree it is an awesome chunk of vintage manliness!

This pedestal grinder is up for sale and I'm wondering what make it is... unfortunately these are the best pics I can get.

Yeah, its unfortunate Ford USA never took the small sixes to their potential like they did down under... On the brighter side though, the 250 I got has the largest intake log ford made... flows a lot better than the dinky 144 log. I'll also increase the intake hole by 100% for a webber 2...

They made all sorts of stuff... some of it turns up at a local gunshows sometimes. Roller skates, baseball bats, flashlights, axes, etc... fun stuff.

You can do it with a 300 but its a lot of modding... more than I want to get into with the old girl. It would be nice to have the separate intake manifold though. I'll be content with the 250, should have 50-75% more power than the original engine after I mod it. It'll be a world of difference...

We do have one... 94 Chevy 1500 W/T... no frills plain jane good old work truck. Its my silent partner... been using it a lot to bring goodies home. As cool as the F250 was, going a long ways away at 50-55mph just wasn't cutting it. I needed to ply the interstates at speed so we picked up the...

Thanks for the tip... yup its stamped WATERLOO right behind the tag:rocker:

Man I never thought of that! Might be hell to heat though:eyecrazy: Right now its just storage for the tractor, various farm implements, the auto parts stash and all the lawn/garden junk. I turned the SW corner into a chicken coop:tard: There is a spot where the cows used to get milked with...

Neat lathe! Fun to tinker with... I just picked a new lathe myself but its a Logan.

I'm fortunate in that the neighbor used to paint out of this shop back in the 80's -90's (it was his grandma's house then) and insulated the workshop part well. From stone cold it takes 30 minutes to get the place warm with the stove I have. Not bad but I think I could do better with a fan to...

Got the Barth shear moved into its new location... just need to level it and get it cleaned up...

I'd love a ranchero... gonna need a bigger garage though, lol!

Vintage Powrkraft tool chest... on the 3rd generation of users and still working great... Picked this Craftsman up last weekend...

The '64 wagon gets a 200 with a C4 to be used as a cruiser for hauling a small vintage camper. I picked it up a month ago from a guy in Indiana. He was going to put a V8 in it but hadn't upgraded the front end for it so I sold the engine and picked up a good running 6 and ****** from a guy in...

Early in the summer I got one of the walled off windows in the auto part of the garage opened back up and installed new sash windows. Its one of several windows that were sided over when the garage was done with vinyl in the late 80's. There are 6 other windows to open back up, this shop needs...

I also got my heater installed... took a day but no more cold in 1/2 of the building. The work shop area is nicely insulated above and in the walls but the garage portion isn't. They're divided by a heavy sliding door so my heat won't bleed away. Not sure what I'm going to do with the other half...
