Picked this up today and I can't find any info about it online:

It's missing the casters and most of the bolts. Square tubes form the handles, which are bent over. Logo is fairly recent, '70s forward?

Shelves are 24" x 36".

The weight warning is in lbs and Kg which makes me think it's Canadian market (more likely here in Canada anyway). I can't find any model number stamped on it, but there are a few very faded labels with nothing left.

Should be a good addition to my workshop!

I have one, KR 485 I bought if WAY back in 1981 when I worked at Diesel Power Sales and Service in MI.

How much did you pay for it??

Heres a pic of the Casters "Faultless" Evansville Indiana. The casters are good, but it doesn't surprise me that your casters are missing because the retainers to hold them in the tube are crappy at best. I had one caster that kept falling out so I took the spring clip keeper off and the outer shaft bushing and put a wood dowel in the tube drilled the hole and installed the caster. Fits and works better than the junk spring clips.

Anyways, I just stripped all the paint off and I'm ready to prime the pans today.

I like it and it holds up to 300 lbs. Not sure I'd put that much on it. I had an 8V71 head and some other junk about 200 lbs and it seemed ok but not something I'd do every day.

Any idea what the cart worth? I don't remember how much I paid... so long ago.

The KR 485 is stamped in the middle of the Sideboard top pan same side as the Logo. More visible when the paint is removed.

I looked for prices or information for these on eBay, Google, Marketplace, and Snap-on. Nothing! Found yours on the Journal here after 45 mins of searching.

I might sell it after I get it repainted, it's sort of big for my tiny shop.
