Ok guys, so I've came across on old Bonney 3/4" drive ratchet and can't find any info on it. One one side it is stamped Bonney 4292 made in the USA, and the opposite side its marked zenel. I know the history of Bonney I just can't find anything similar to this ratchet. I've been able to free up the mechanism but the bolt stuck in the selector hole has definitely been added at some point and needs to be changed so that you can change direction properly. Thanks in advance.

Awesome info. I appreciate it. Anyone have one of these so that I can see what the selector should look like?

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I better get started on a lever so I can get this beast functioning.

Wow! What a great save on a vintage tool! Nice job. The rivets look like they were put in yesterday.

That stuff seems to work wonders. Can I ask how long you left it?

Usually only takes an hour or two. Two points on Evaporust though: first, it's comparatively expensive at about $90 for a 5 gallon bucket; and second, ensure you clean the tools with something else first - I tend to use a small brass wheel on my battery powered drill. If you don't, it turns black and ineffective very quickly.

I had in in there for about 24 hours. Like twertsy said you definitely want to clean it well first to prolong the life of the evaporust.
