Outlander, you are not alone, i think it is going to be another couple of weeks yet before the garage/yard sales start at least in my area anyway.

Under the forearm is a part of the recoil mechanism that gets loaded up with powder residue and what not. It can rust in place, so keep it cleaned and lubed (I've had to unlock a buddy's 14 twice now..)

thank you for the response Outlaw, the gun needs a good cleaning. My friend admitted he never cleaned it while he owned it, but only put 100 rounds thru it, so I am going to try and disassemble it and clean it before I shoot it, just to see what it looks like.

Found this cute little Matco AR5N hiding in an old Buffalo set that I picked up 50 cents. Didn't realize the hidden gem until I got home.

Gortons,
It's not uncommon to find cheap socket sets holding nice ratchets. I've picked up SK, SO, Craftsman RHFT, and many others this way!

Yeah, I'm definitely going to pay closer attention to such in the future! I wasn't even going to buy that little set for the 50 cents, but the wife thought it was cute.

If anyone can identify the adapter piece in the bottom right corner, I'd appreciate it. I believe it to be a part to a Craftsman power tool. :dunno:

Could that be one of those hold down clamps for a table saw crosscut sled? They had a thing that screwed onto the handle and had a bolt like thing that went to the board to hold it tight.

Got the rifle cleaning kit for $2. Unfortunately the bottle of nitro solvent leaked out and is now empty.
Craftsman oil can was .50c
Bolt/screw gauge was .50c
Unopened can of spray foam was also .50c (it still has the $7.99 price tag on it)


Its still very early in the garage sale season up here so I am lucky to find one or two each weekend. It will be a few weeks before things really pick up and then there will be dozens each weekend:thumbup:

I'll give you a you **** on the oil can, those are really handy without having to invert the can.

Nice boxes Beatcad. do you keep flipping these nice Gerts or do you have one of the nicest collections around. sorry this one didn't come packed with tools like some I've seen, but it looks like one of the nicest ones yet.

:thumbup:

I hope everybody had a great Easter

Found this nice Sioux bench grinder with stand today for $35. Thought it was a good deal. Anyone care to guess at the age? I may restore it or use as is. I needed a better grinder to wire wheel with. This fits the bill nicely.

Hegner: that grinder looks awesome and for $35 if it runs you got a deal. i haven't heard or seen that brand before, but yes i agree it's worth restoring. it is missing a couple end covers and tool rests, but the gauge on that cast is grinder **** if you ask me.

post it on the vintage grinder thread where WWII and others that are watching that one might know something about it.

Hegner, can you post a close up of the tag? oftenm there is a date code on the older motors.

Nice Find! Sioux made a lot of valve grinding gear back in the day (may still do so...)

Size of wheels? And is their provision for wheel covers?

That is much nicer that the one I just tinkered up that came home from my Dad's place in Idaho...

Speaking of my Dad's grinder, I spent a little time this afternoon getting the guard back on which took removing the 6" wheel and replacing it with a 5" wheel that fit..

Then I discovered the right side bearing was shot. so I took the right housing shell off, and got the bearing out and yep, loose as a goose! I'm thinking I'll need to get into a bearing house on Monday for the ****** thing, but first, this is Outlaw's place, lets see what I have in stock: :pimpflash

attachment.php



Here is one of the bearing drawers;

attachment.php



and I start digging under the aircraft pulleys:

attachment.php



Well looky here! that looks familiar!

attachment.php


And damn if it wasn't a match Both bearing numbers ended in "202", and both were dimensionally the same, with similar guards! :rocker:


attachment.php



I get it all back together and test spin it, and everything is now kosher! :thumbup:



Well not everything: this is the mess my dad made of the cord, and the usual replacement around here, a server's (heavier) power cord (my last one I need to get some more...) :willy_nil

attachment.php



That took another 30 min or so: besides the cord I needed a ground lug and a fast-on spade to power the switch, other than that it was the usual get the strain relief out of the "D" hole then the new cord and the strain relief back in...

The side without any guard will get a wire wheel. I may have a half guard I can hang over there; I'll have to look. :dunno:

attachment.php


This one will NOT get painted and made pretty. Its a Dayton, but made in Taiwan, and only 1/5 HP.. Very light duty. I'm not even sure it will pull a wire wheel...

If not, I'll gift it to one of my friends, or possibly my brother for light use.

Today I found this 6" York. It appears to be rarely used, if it was ever used. Still has what seems to be the factory packaging grease on the screw. I paid $35.00, I wasn't even going to try and get it for cheaper.

Big D: i know you are a fairly almost brand new member, but if you are going to spout of insane deals like that we have a saying i want you to remember.:needpics:

by the way welcome to the gang at Garage Journal

Caos: i think i like those York vises better than my Wilton vises. nice find and for $35 you might be able to put some more money into some paint for a new color on it and still have a You **** price.

I was able to get back to the "mouse nest" sale from friday for Dollar Day. I picked up two pieces of thick rubber sheet, a can of brass nuts, a vial of small screws/bolts, and a crown top Craftsman Small Electric Drill bit set (missing 1 bit, and the holder is broken). All for $3.

I drove out to an estate sale in New Braunfels Saturday, about half an hour, to check out one item they had listed. I got there early and waited for two hours. It turns out they checked the internet for the price on a Blackhawk bantam Porto-o-power box. It was a bit rough, and they wanted $250, which was out of my budget, especially since I don't need it.

Anyway I did pick up a few things.
Everything on the desk except for my scroll saw, plus a few things not shown for my wife and kids. Approximate price $90.


One of my favorite, this old Luxo lamp:



I think the previous owner spent some time at Western Auto. A few tools branded as such, and others that likely came from them.






What I "assume is an older" Japanese sae tap an die set. It's missing the tap wrench, but I'm not complaining since I found the GTD replacement off to the side.

I have a feeling this is going to become an addiction quickly :lol:

Hit up the local flea market & thrift store today.

FMaGSdL.jpg


l4PJOLR.jpg


Pliers are channel lock, the two universals are snap-on 1/2".
The wrench up top is a craftsman one side wont ratchet.. seized with either junk or rust haven't looked into it. Do you think sears will warranty it? I'm doubtful they will because of age.

Now since this forum started my addiction of collecting old tools I was wondering if anyone can help me ID those wrenchs.
from left to right:
1. Unmarked (not even sizes)
2. just says dropped forged, with the #25 on the back and some logo i can't make out.
3. Drop forged made in usa.
4. Controlled steel on one side, drop forged in USA on the other.
5-7. Fulton, forged in USA

I've read on here that fulton was a cheaper line of tools made offshore by sears ? But these are all stamped USA. Anyway, i'll stop rambling. Got everything for $14.
