Blew a hydraulic return line from the loader joystick valve assembly on the tractor. No room for a wrench on the fitting at the valve assembly. It was obviously originally put on before the valve block was mounted. Got the bad one off by cutting the old line off and getting a deep well socket on...

pulled them out of an old farm shed about to be bulldozed. The brace is a ratcheting type, 2 directions plus center lock position on the collar, some rust but not beyond salvaging, wood parts good. A rough old wooden box with maybe 40 different bits of all types, some I've never seen before...

Anybody familiar with these things? I found one of these at the local township recycling drop off. It had been dragged off to the side because they don't accept furniture. (happens all the time) 48" top was a little beat up but I'll replace it anyway. I noticed it because it appeared to be high...

Just for kicks... Scrounged an old out of date CO2 tank and a rural mailbox door at the scarp yard, added some old chain and a new eye bolt (Damn I hated to spend the money for a new eyebolt). too far to reach my arm in to thread a nut on the eye bolt so I welded some rod to the nut and put a...

[/URL][/IMG] I found this double end 7" Wissota grinder inside a 5 ton army truck in a scrapyard. tag was still attached and dated 1982. It was never used, stones were virgin, a few surface scars and a mud dobber nest in one end shield but works great! I found the grinder stand on a different...

Vintage Mac Tools compression guage with quick coupler. NO hoses or fittings unfortunately (My idiot bro-in-law pillaged Dad's tools). If somebody has a damaged guage or wants to fab up a hose/fitting set, here ya go. $SPF

My thread file (thread restoration tool) has been missing for a couple years and I was determined to find another. Tried farm supply, auto supply, and big box Menard's type stores and not one person even knew what I was talking about, let alone where I could find one. Found myself in a real...

I see some really good design illustrations on this forum and on welding web forum. Is there a CAD for dummies or a cheap version that I could learn to use without a masters degree? Just home and hobby stuff for now but doing more all the time. I currently use paper and pencil, cardboard, duct...

Anybody try this? several youtube vids claim success for cart tires, mowers, etc My specific need is a 4 wheel hose cart on pneumatic tires. It usually holds 200ft of 5/8 garden hose and only travels occasionally between the gardens and the greenhouse. Thanks

I had been using an old 3M Speedglas 9000x that was working fine but getting pretty beat up. A really nice lady welder I know that works in a large production facility asked me if I wanted a welding helmet. She said they were upgrading safety equipment at work and they were issued new gear and...

A G9728 combo with several accessories and a good selection of cutters and tooling. Very nice condition. Any ideas on value? Thanks

I know, I shouldn't have high expectations. Honestly it was only the 2nd time I've ever been in one. I had a small project and really needed a glass bead blaster. Couldn't locate one to borrow and didn't want to invest a lot of cash right now. So I go online and check out a small portable...

Cabin fever alert. 6" of new and fiercely blowing snow. Already spent some time on the loader tractor clearing hip deep drifts from the drive. The temp is about 6 above and headed to minus 20. The wife is cleaning and putting Christmas away and told me I could be in charge of supper. I shot 4...

SOLD! For you vintage Craftsman table saw guys I know this is my first classified here but I have sold on other forums including eBay and have an excellent history. Please don't make me sell these on eBay! These were my grandfather's. He died in 1965 and these are late 50s or early 60s I...
