Anyone interested in this old EMD Locomotive Bell? Located in East Texas

I have too many according to my wife. My hobbies are: Guns, vintage gas pumps & signs, and my R/C airplanes.

Hahaha, just a thumbs up.

WOW, this is awesome info. Thank you so much for posting. :rocker:

That's cool. They would be nice powder coated.

The one on Ebay has already ended. I have a really good locksmith here in town. I will load it up and take it over to him. I'm 99% sure he can make a key.

Those are really cool. I've seen people make stands from any and everything. Some I would trust, most i wouldn't. Looks like you scored quite a few.

Honestly guys, I have decided that I won't be using these stands. If I did use them, they would be retracted completely and only for putting my small pop up camper on from time to time. I have some new heavy duty stands that I use for all my automotive needs. More than likely, I will just...

thanks guys, I will give it a try. I would love to have a working key for it.

Thanks, I can save the decals for sure. I am going to check them over really good. They are unlike any stands I have ever seen before.

AWESOME!! Great video. I would like to rig mine up like that, thanks for sharing!

Needs some TLC but I like it.

I know this is a very old thread but I just scored this set of 4 jack stands. They are actually AJAX Silver Horse stands from the 40's - 50's. These are all in working order and very well preserved. Not sure if I am going to paint them or leave as is. What do you all think? I also got this old...

AWESOME!!! Thanks for the info. It is a really cool jack but if I have to get into having parts manufactured, it will have to remain a static type of shop art display. Yes indeed, I won't be buying any parts until I can get inside and see what the piston and cylinder looks like. Once I get in...

It's just a key that unlocks the handle. I don't really see the need for this but the manufacturer claims it to be a safety feature.

No, it's not that kind of bell. I grew up working at Service Stations and those bells were much smaller. The person I got this bell from explained they did indeed get it from a Locomotive. Thanks for the reply though.

Could have been. I am guessing steam or air.

Yes, it was hooked up to some type of air line but I really don't know anything about it. I just like it because it is solid brass. My plan is to polish it out and display it in my shop.

Hahahaha, Thanks cash. It is a really cool jack. I just hope I can get it rebuilt and working properly.
