Cool find on all those tool books.

That second tool down in the picture is a bearing scraper. The fourth tool, I think the bottom is a cap that unscrews and should have bunch of tool bits like a saw blade, chisel, that type of stuff.

The second thing down is a tool to shape babbit bearing lead after recasting them in place on a line shaft. Old School tech!.

Nothing like old literature in your library. Besides providing tool info, many of them include tips and advice on procedures and techniques - invaluable in today's DIY environment.
(I.E. stuff you can't find on google!)

Thanks for the info guys...The bearing scraper and gas pliers were unknowns to me....:headscrat

JColdIron....Thanks for your input. I don't know what is more impressive, you knowing what the scraper tool was ....or that fact that you managed to be a GJ member for 5 years and this was your first post. :thumbup:
