I have an "AC Delco" trolley jack that leaks at the ram under a load. I thought I'd tear it apart to see if a new 22mm oring on the cap nut would fix it. When I looked in the bore, there are two identical scorings parallel to each other and the same length at the end of the piston stroke. These...

*price drop* New, opened pack of 10. Ordered the wrong size and don't need them From Carbide Depot, so shouldn't be fake, lol. $40 shipped, first PM gets em. Cash or check.

I found this old polaroid in my dad's stuff. It appears to be an antique horizontal milling machine. It may be homemade, but never heard him talk about it.

I don't know if this is allowed, so if not, please delete. Josh Topper from Topper Machine is helping out with an enormous auction for Russell Garens up near Minneapolis. I thought I'd post about in case anybody needs some tooling or machines. Topper Machine video: Auction site...

I've seen guys use these in videos but never in real life. Seems to me would be super handy for those large 2" and up, .1" thick snap rings that kick my ***. I see those Supergoodhappytool brands around, but would like something nicer but Snapon would be unnecessary. Recommendations?

I have a bridgeport mill I bought a couple years ago. It is clapped out; ways are worn out in the middles and 98 percent of the flaking is gone. Some jackwagons ran grease in it. I am considering sending the column, knee and saddle/table to be ground/scraped, and I'm wondering if anyone has gone...

I bought one of a guy on craigslist a few years ago and have always wondered something. The surface is nice and smooth of course, except there are little, I guess, voids all over it, including the sides. Everything glides smooth across it and near as I can tell is flat; at least flat enough for...

Here is a an AC only stick welder for sale locally. I'm looking to replace my HF 180 stick welder, and would like an older USA unit. Any opinions on price on this? https://wichita.craigslist.org/tls/d/wichita-miller-thunderbolt-stick-welder/7689989161.html

I purchased a Greenlee 1346 bandsaw a while back. I dropped the saw backwards and bent the input shaft. I tore it down and straightened the shaft and replaced the two oil seals. There is virtually no information on the innards of this gearbox so I thought I'd put some pictures and bearing/seal...

Saw this for sale and was wondering if any of you guys would recommend it. Can't find if its made in USA or not anywhere. It would surely be a step up from my CHICOM 4x6 I'm thinking https://wichita.craigslist.org/tls/d/wichita-greenlee-band-saw/7619090369.html

A local surplus place has a bunch of 3/4" drill chucks for $30. The only markings are the capacity and "japan". The only thing I'm not familiar with is the mounting. There are two ears on the back and I think the hole is tapered but didn't have anything to measure it with. I didn't grab a pic...

Stopped by a small shop in town and got these 6 clamps for $30. Cincinnati Tool, no name usa malleables and a Jorgenson. Slowly replacing my Chicom collection.

Thought I'd throw some pics of my Delta sander up. I bought this basket case from a local guy back in june. It was very rusty and missing a motor. I used my mill and lathe to make some parts that were missing on the belt drums/adjusters like the top drum shaft. I replaced every bearing in the...

Hey guys, I recently got one of those 99 cent round headed air chucks at HF. You know, the plain old simple type that have been around since compressed air was invented probably; simple as can be. It dont work. It goes over the valve but doesnt push the shrieder valve in. I got another one just...

I got a flyer yesterday from them. They have a 2-ton AC Delco floor jack and a couple of jack-stands for 30 bucks with a 5 dollar rebate. Think Ill pick one up and report on the quality.

hey guys, just sayin hey. Name is dan from Augusta, 20 miles east of Wichita. Found this site a month ago while searching for garage pics. I love to see the different ways people go about fixing up their shops! Right now in the process of buying my first house, well a garage with a house anyway...
