I picked up this pair of Craftsman toolboxes for a song. Unfortunately, that song had a couple sour notes, once I found one of the roller bearing drawer slides is broken. I've done a bunch of searching, and according to a GJ post from 2012 or so, the upper box is part number 9 HT 65103N and the lower is 9 HT 65036N. Using those part numbers (in various combinations, like dropping the 'N', etc), I can't find ANY information pertaining to these. Supposedly these have an unconditional warranty?
I've rebuilt the upper box, and am now working on the lower now. I drilled out the rivets on the slides to get them out for cleaning. Whoever had this before thought that liberally hosing down the slides with white lithium grease in a spray can was the way to lubricate them. Instead they've turned into a nice super sticky mess. These will go in the parts washer as soon as I pick up some fresh solvent this weekend.
I'm pretty sure these slides are no longer made. I've checked Sears Direct parts, but there are 7728 toolbox parts listed, I don't have an exact part number for the slides, and something like 95% of their parts have no images. Maybe someone knows of a cross over slide, or has salvaged toolboxes for parts and has a slide?
There appear to be 3 different styles of slides in the box. Two pairs are for the large bottom drawers. The others appears to be the same dimensions, but six have an extra hole drilled in them. I haven't verified this yet, but I think the hole is supposed to indicate a left or right side slide. I didn't notice that difference until after I had them all off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
