It's a really great tool, I'm still sifting through my father in laws tools, finding things like this that are a real treasure. This tool has lasted one generation for 60+ years and now I am using it. How cool is that.

That's what I said my problem was, I was not using it correctly, without someone to show me how to use it I was lost.

Thanks for your resources again. :D

I Just checked this out and it works great.:bounce::bounce: This is a great tool, I'm glad it works even if it's 60+ years old.:bounce::bounce: They sure don't make them like this anymore. Everything is made in China, and it don't last long.:sad:

Now that make sense, I'm now on track, so I put it on the end of the pulley not on the belt. OK cool I'm going to try that and I am glad someone helped me on this learning curve. Again thank you.:bowdown:

:headscrat I thought you place the tip on the belt of a running engine, like the alternator, and it gives you the rpm. I'm lost on what it does..........:wtf:

What I have is a hand held tachometer that my father in law had used forever, until he died of old age. It's been sitting for ten years before I was able to use it. Anyone who has one of these little gizmos, I need some help, when I place it on the engine belt, it maxed out the RPM's. I've...

If I was back in San Diego, a shell would easy, however in Alaska parts for anything is hard to find. I usually buy on eBay and ship USPS cheap. So if I can find it, I can get it. I just need to find out what shell parts fit this 113.29991.

I'm now at the third project.... The table saw, and I need to get some information about it. The shell as we spoke about it before has a hole cut out in the side panel, I want to replace it, now, will any 113.XXXXX fit it? Will a 8" saw shell fit it???? Thanks for any information. I've...

The cracked pulley has been replaced! Thanks for everything, the parts worked great.

I was able to repair the leak. The gasket was leaking and when I removed the old leather gasket and replace it with a rubber one it was gone.:willy_nil

That's nice, and hard to find quality built hand tools, Craftsman screwed up when they start making tools in China, I'm set for life, I just feel bad for the next generation. Growing up, I never appreciated quality built tools, now I regret that I wasn't more mature, I would have done things...

Anyone else with any more ideas?????

That's new, I'm really proud of my vintage collection on my shop walls. This is just some.....

Felt sounds good, I will try that idea, cork is what was used from the drawing that I've read. I'm not sure about using cork, it seems that microscopic pieces would end up floating around in the oil??? Maybe I'm wrong, the wine bottles that were corked on Titanic held up well. :lol_hitti...

On my delta scroll saw I have a leak. I need some advice on how to properly repair it. I know in 1930's they didn't have what we have today, I'm sure they used leather to seal the saw. The leak is here in the shaft, the above photo. Model 700
