A bit of railroad info... You may already know. The gauge of the track was the same spacing from wheel to wheel of the roman chariots. The space shuttle was moved into position to launch via the same gauge of track! From the Roman empire to space exploration all because the roman chariot rutted up Europe's roads for centuries so to fit the ruts made by the chariots wagons where made the same width. Shipped from the old world to the new we kept the same gauge on our wagons and railroad. .

Did you know the Russians had a different wider standard? Not sure if that is still true, but in WWII it was...
Checked, it's still wider 5 ft and 4 ft 11 27⁄32 (current std)

The #90 at the Strasburg Railroad was originally made for the Russians. They backed out of the deal and it was remade into the standard railroad gauge 4ft, 81/2".

The shuttle transporter is a little bigger than that...
It was actually the shuttle booster rockets that where transported by rail. Those were limited in size by the tunnels that the rails ran through, which were set by the size of the locomotives that ran through them, which in turn are related to the gauge of the rails, etc, etc.
Still a neat story.

Which to take it a step further...
The chariot was sized to fit the widest part of the horse. Therefore our modern railroads are based on a horses ***.
Just saying...

Some nice finds guys! I was planning on hitting sales today, several sales but nothing looked real promising so I stayed home. Last night I checked out a Snap On KRA-400 with the cool sliding door like a rolltop desk. It had a Wilton bullet 9350 mounted on top. Unfortunately they welded the swivel to the top of the box so removal was going to have to be done with a grinder. I didn't need them so at $500 for both I passed.
Spur of the moment thing, Merc talked me into it Wednesday. I was shy about having it the weekend before 
but went with it anyway. You're not missing much, if anything, most of it is **** I just want to get rid of and will go to the curb if not sold. Merc didn't even want any of it for free and he's as big of a tool/Craftsman guy as us.

Nine still thinks I'm coming tomorrow morning. I strategically broke it up into two truck loads, one that I unloaded on him today and one that I'm going to put out at the real garage sale at my house tomorrow.
****, he has my tables. What I meant to say, is that I'll be there at six!
And there's definitely a bunch of good stuff in that pile. If I had the room I'd have obliged for sure, but then I reminded myself of the reason for the sale.

Nine, If I was closer I would come over.
A glass of ice tea would be great also.

I was just thinking that as I read it.
You must be psychic or something, I just messaged Merc telling him what I had to drink over here an hour ago.

PwrStroke, I've got s couple of Jo-line torque wrenches. That looks to be a fixed torque, so normally I'd say for a factory line, but with U.S on it probably military issue for special equipment.

Thank you for the info, do you know what the allen head screw inside the base of the handle is for? adjusting away from the fixed torque spec possibly?

That, sir, is a fixed value torque wrench, used for torquing hydraulic lines on military aircraft. Because it has an FSN and not a NSN it was used in the 1960's. It is only rated for 28.5 in/lbs of torque, but could be set to something less than that, thus the Allen head screw on the bottom. Very likely was used on aircraft during the Vietnam war.

Snap-on, Starrett, Lenox, Klein and others used the same basic Sadvik(sp) design. The Sadvik is made in Sweden. I have all of them hanging in my shop. All garage sale finds for $1 or $2.

I have a lenox one. Not sure who actually made them. Nice hack saws indeed. Two things to check are the beam to make sure it is straight and the retaining screw, looks like yours is sticking out a bit.

Today, I went out after a 8hp Briggs & Stratton engine attached to a non-functional 3000W generator. I needed it to replace the one I fragmented on my rototiller. I picked up this Powermate for $50. I checked to see if the windings were simply demagnetized, but no. The engine runs just fine, so the heart transplant will commence later today.
On the way back to the house, there just happened to be an estate sale open, the same one I hit two weeks ago. Since it was on the way, why not stop in?
Of course, Jakemac was already sitting outside the house, waiting for it to open. "Retired, my ***!" he said. We both walked into the garage and despite being a third-day pick, we left with some pretty good finds. Here are mine, for another $50:
Four 4" locking casters
One 5" Fairbanks fixed wheel
One interlocking reverse switch
One 1976 milk crate
One heavy metal tray
One 24" 12/3 three outlet adapter
Vintage Black & Decker light duty 1/4" electric drill - works!
Adjust-A-Volt PA-1 variable transformer
Five 1" heavy duty 600V momentary switches
Two Victor pressure gauges, 100 psi & 4000 psi
Seatek Roto-split armored cable stripper
NIB Texpen permanent marker - turned out to be DOA
Three and a half 1/4" pneumatic quick connects
Brass hose fitting
Torch fitting
J/B Industries temperature probe
Lufkin No. 299 depth gauge
Linemaster foot pedal air valve (Jake passed this one on to me)
Three more Klein screwdrivers I somehow missed from the last time
Boston Herald newspapers from the Apollo moon landings, July 19-26, 1969.
Industrial fire extinguisher for the shop.
Not bad for a retired picker...;-)

Is that the screw in the front of the saw? It does protrude, threaded into one side of the beam and hits the inside before it is flush. Maybe it's not original.
