Very cool stand. Can you post more pics? Got a KR Wilson 50 ton press and love that thing!

If you chose to shorten your drive belt, the "how to run a lathe" book has excellent instructions to do so. A must have lathe book. Nice score!

Reinforce the bead breaker before it gets all bent up. Easier to do while it's still straight.

Well...I have the Posi-Lock, Proto, and the Snap-On...all excellent choices. I'd say I use the Posi-Lock the most, but they all have their place.

One hell of a mess! Lol!

Done something along those lines with a Vise-Grip with a length of Redi-Rod in place of the adjusting screw.

Does this one have the diaphragm type idle control? Check that the vents aren't plugged. Lincoln has adjustment instructions online. Stumpf's welding is my source for obsolete Lincoln stuff. Nice welder, and a great price!

Shameless bump.

Seems like my shop press is always one of the most cluttered areas of my shop. Press plates, bearing splitters, old bearing races, lock collars, lengths of DOM tubing, couple short length of RR rail....all that **** you keep around because you'll end up needing it sooner or later to get out of a...

I've got a set of those snap ring pliers. Mine are K-D I think, but the same ones. Once in a while, they are the right tool for the job.

Bad part is you spend 1/3 the cost of the HF tire changer, buying a barrel to cover it! LOL!

I have a dedicated one, with a length of Redi-Rod and a wrist pin from a 3406 Cat engine.

Find a plastic 55 gallon drum, cut one end off, and use it for a cover.

Our MAC guy sold these in the late 1990's-early 2k's. I bought several, since I liked them so much. This was the last one I had. Liked the large diameter rubber tip, compact size and ergonomics of them...never found anything else that comes close. My all time favorite for carburetor work. If I...

Had this for years, and it finally cracked beyond repair. Can't seem to find one like it anywhere.

Yes!

Dad has an old push mower, with the deck turned upside down, and chunk of plywood bolted over where the engine was. Not the greatest setup, but he's been using it for 40+ years.

Nailed it!

How do you replace the probes? Mine looks to be permanently attached.

Got a few pair of Diamond fence pliers. Best ones ever!
