Is that a cluster gear - small and large diameter one assembly? Check the diameter of the shaft on both sides. You may need to push that towards the small diameter gear to remove.

My wife was the gardener in the family and therefore, for the last 22 years, I have been eliminating flower beds, taking steps to reduce landscape maintenance and basically trying to get by with as little effort as possible. This week I decided I had to do something about the landscaped area...

I am in Oklahoma and we get significant winds and hail. Built my shop in 91 with a self-installed shingle roof which has since been replaced with a self-installed exposed screw steel roof (about 19 years ago). Built the house in 92 with shingles installed by the contractor - now on 4th roof on...

I started years ago maintaining an inventory spreadsheet of all the tools in the shop, including purchase price and date. Since I did not start until a few years after I started acquiring tools, it is not complete, but close to it. I have discovered that many items would cost many times what I...

A lot depends on whether you wish to work on the things you have stored in there and how tired you will become of moving things out of the way to get to other things. I frame built a 1200 sq ft shop 34 years ago and wish it were larger. I have since added a 1200 sq ft barn and all the outdoor...

Workbench tops?

My refrigerator quit dispensing water, though the ice maker was still working. Did some research and thought the likely problem was a 3 way solenoid, so ordered a replacement. The good news is the replacement went smoothly without making a huge mess. The bad news is the problem was not solved...

I am continuing to use my repaired Eastwood buffer. I am curious to see how long it will hold together before I feel the need to install my new Rikon. I decided to bite the bullet and order a pair of allen wrench sets that include the sizes less than .050 inches. Using the .127 mm wrench, I...

What do you mean with the phrase "tool box" (singular)? Every time I have tried a new type of project, I have acquired new tools to facilitate the project. Tools go into existing toolboxes wherever I have space until eventually I find myself in need of an additional toolbox. That acquisition...

Sure glad to see you have come out of hibernation!

That looks like an old JC Penney box I had that I purchased in the early 70's.

I think Dig Doug captured the essence of what needs to be done. I would add that the engineers specs call for a new ridge beam, not an additional one added below.

The seasons are changing. I always look forward to the arrival of these each spring.

I am continuing the process of cleaning out the barn and the ongoing process of selling unused items. Had several calls over the last several days from a person wanting to buy a TV stand I had for sale. I always examine items and make sure they are in good condition before advertising them for...

entry noted - anyone else?

You don't need a fence. My property line is marked by a t-post set about every 50 feet. Just stick a no trespassing sign on one of the posts facing the neighbors property. After you have the line clearly marked, I would write a polite letter to the neighbor asking him to honor the proper...

I have this in my inventory and have identified it as one of the tools I would like to divest myself of. The socket (removable of course) is 7/8" I would very much like to gift this to someone who needs it to complete a set. So post a pic, labeled "gift entry" of what you have that would be...

I would have thought you had been around long enough to recognize that "taking a thread in a different direction" is called highjacking and is frowned on. I also would have thought that you had seen threads ended because a moderator labeled them as "worthless" following repetitive bickering on...

Today, I finished my adapter plate and trial fit it on the stand. Now it is off to the hardware store for a pair of 3/8" by 2.5" bolts for securing the buffer - can't believe I didn't have anything suitable in stock. After that I will remove the buffer and plate and re-install the first of the...

The topic of this thread is whether of not it is worth spending the money on a baldor wide shaft buffer versus alternatives. Would you take your off-topic argument elsewhere before you get the entire thread banned?
