I think she has forgotten about it. It is still there.:ROFLMAO:

I told her that leaving didnt make sense. I would just be looking for the same things at all the other sales. I passed on stuff I didnt need but regretted because the prices were so good.

Today was a once in a blue moon type of sale. My wife found some yardsales yesterday for us to go to today. On the way to the first sale, we passed a sale we didnt know about but it was a sale so we stopped. On one table there were a few single tools, and random stuff I had no interest in...

Its probably just the picture. It looks square just the distance between the hooks on the quick hitch and the pin mounts on the bush hog are just way too close. I think a Cat 2 quick hitch is jn my future.

I have a 1/4 mile long gravel driveway, and it is nearly impossible to keep maintained with my 5' box blade. On top of that, my 5' Bush Hog has seen better days. It is also too small for my tractor and doesnt allow me to get up close to fence rows. Additionally, a few years ago for my...

Just like last weekend, the first yardsale had several good deals and didnt find anything else the rest of the day. I saw a posting for this sale yesterday but had to work, so im surprised that anything was left, but im glad we went today to see. Even though we didnt leave the house until...

My wife rearranged our living room and im trying to convince her this is the perfect place for my Torpedo. She just keeps shaking her head and saying its not staying.

Yeah, im not too worried about it. It will last long enough that I can justify $10 again in the future to keep it running.

I have no idea. It matched the dimensions and shape of the original. Here is a link Wheel

They are a ridiculously simple design but I'm already in love with it.

My wheel came today and my belts yesterday. I didn't waste any time installing it and trying it out. It tracks perfect and runs great. This will get a lot of use around the garage. Kalamazoo wanted $50 for the wheel and $26 to ship it. I found one online for $10 with $9 shipping.

It wont be confused with a Don Long restoration, but I think it looks much better than it did when I picked it up. I got up early and reassembled the sander. Now the long wait for the belts and drive wheel that are both on order.

Made a bit of progress. I never intended to restore the machine, just get it looking better and actually working, plus it gave me a chance to use my blast cabinet. So after blasting everything but the motor itself, I did a quick spray job. The yellow paint is terrible. It wouldnt cover well...

I found one. I was going to order through Kalamazoo, but they wanted $75 shipped so I found one with similar specs from a different manufacturer for $19.

I appreciate it, but specifically need the Kalamazoo parts. Mainly the bottom pulley (drive wheel). But if you have those part numbers that would be great.

My wife took the kids on a trip so I have the week to myself. So what better time than now to get this project started? Disassembly

Since you probably know more about these sanders than me, can you tell me what the model number is? There is absolutely no tags on the sander itself and I need to order a couple parts.

Do we have any Kalamazoo experts on here? I cannot find a drive wheel that looks anything like the one from my sander. I am not even sure the model number of the sander or the wheel size when all one piece. Here are the remains of the drive wheel. The center measure 1 1/8" ID and the OD is...

I had a decent day today. I havent been to any yard sales in a while, and after the Springfield Swap Meet turned out to be a bust, I stopped at a few on the way home and found some goodies. Paid $12 for the Snap on air drill, Ingersoll Rand 1/2" Titanium impact. Then paid a total of $23 for...

Ive been looking for one for a while. This one will get some use for sure.
