Guys, I picked up this 1 1/2 horse Marathon motor today for a song & was hoping the electrical experts could help me wire it up. It was wired for 110 volts. The 3 wires that have been cut are YELLOW, GREEN, & BLACK P1. Nothing else looks like it's been tampered with. If you guys could tell me...

Today was a good day! I picked up this 1975 vintage Champion R15 compressor today, for free! My friend that does the Gov. Surplus got it with a lot of old equipment. It had a blown Yanmar diesel engine attached to it. He used the tank for another project & since he has compressors out the rear...

A good friend of mine donated me a frozen Wilton bullet today. I've been looking for a Wilton to restore for sometime. He wheels & deals with gov surplus, long story short he bought a mess of old equipment & this was in the bottom of the crate. It was locked up & he had no use for it. Can't beat...

Guys, I'm looking for some information on the tools that Plomb made for Sears. They were sold under the Craftsman name & have a circle U makers mark on them. The ratchets look like left over WF ratchets to me, with rasied panels for the Craftsman logo. I found an almost complete set of 3/8's...

All, my trusted Buffalo bench grinder is sounding a little rough. I believe it's the right side bearing fixing to go. It has that typical bad bearing sound. The grinder still runs fine, has full power but makes a hell of a racket on the stone side. A little history on this machine. My dad...

Guys, I'm looking for a 3/8" Craftsman BE socket in 3/8th's drive. I need it to finish off my Grandpas BE socket set. Been filling in the blanks, as it seems some of them got lost or tossed over the years. I'm looking for the full chrome polish finish, not the polished steel finished. Please...

Guys, I have an extra 36 amp DC power supply laying around & im thinking of trying my hand at electrolysis. Im wondering if the power supply would work in place of a 12v battery charger. The voltage is adjustable from 9.5 to 15 volts DC, it's rated for a full 30 amps @ 100% duty cycle. It...

Guys, I pick up a couple of freebees today, both broken 1/2" breakover bars. One is a Snappy SN18B with a busted head. No biggie. Just need to track the Snap-On guy down. The other is a Armstrong 12-918. After a little looking on the net, I can't seem to locate a repair kit for this bar. I...

I have nothing but respect for the high voltage guys. Hell low voltage guys too. I hate working with anything more than 12 volt DC electricity. Matter of fact im scared to death of it. I have been known to throw the main disconnect to change a lightbulb...:bounce: The sound it makes freaks me...

Guys, I have an old Monkey wards RAS I got years ago. I tracked it down on OWWM & they say it was built for Wards by Portable Power Tool / Atlas in 1968. It's a well built machine, very smooth, & in great shape. Not my pic, but mine looks identical to this one except the logo. Mine has the...

Guys, have a look at this one. Looks like it's worth $100 bucks to me. I might try to snag this one. I have been looking for a scroll saw, but this one is pretty good size. It might be more than I need but I love overkill. http://tulsa.craigslist.org/tls/2686564130.html

What do you guys think? I've been looking all over CL trying to find a good, older comp. Most of them around here sell for big bucks with all the industry around Tulsa & what not. Im so damn tired of listening to my POS oilless/gutless craftsman I could vomit. :puke: Have a look at this one &...

sig pic test

Well, im still new here so I better show off my shop. :bounce: It's a 20x28 detached garage. Why it's 28 feet long & not 30 I have no idea. The previous owner built it. I know I could sure use the extra 2 feet! Or an extra 20 feet on both sides!! My little corner. Some of my best work...

Does GJ have a required # of posts in order to send PM & add picture sigs? Please direct me to the forum rules thread if I overlooked it. I can't seem to send PM's & my sig pic is valid, but it isin't showing up. :headscrat

Hey guys. Looking for old Plomb ratchets to go on my wall of Plomb. Looking for 1/4" & 1/2". I have everything I need in 3/8's. Not looking for the WF rats at this time. Keep me in mind if you have any Plombs you want to part with. :thumbup: Thanks & 73's.
