Thank you sir. That helps a lot. So probably the value would be the used tool value? Maybe a little more due to the board.
Yep.
I see about 4 missing tools that go to my Blackhawk cabinet in this box. lolI went over board again and picked up this #32 mechanic socket set. It has an extra piece that doesn't go with the set BUT does go into my Blackhawk cabinet and I was short this piece so I payed too much for it but have it and the extra piece so I'm a happy camper
Yes there are.
I had a reproduction decal made for a No. 32-CD set I tricked out several years ago, Don. Linked here. There are other similar sets on this thread, as well. All the Quick Disconnect era decals were the same except for the set number. Yours is a No. 32-C. The "C" is for the attache style case. The "D" in the "CD" suffix on mine was for the "D" in double hex sockets. Yours are hex, so just 32-C.
Flathead valves used to either have a slot in the head, to look like the head of a screw, or two shallow holes. A lapping tool would be used to be inserted into the valve and rotated to get the valve and seat to conform. There would be several iterations of the tool to accommodate different manufacturers of valves. As valves became part of the combustion chamber, the suction cup style became more popular.Thank you guys
I think that I can get a decal made from these pic's. I see that I'm short on some of the tools that belong to this set.
OTG, is that a 610 speed wrench in your box?
Can one of you guys tell me what the name of this T11 tool is? I need to find 2 of them for my collections
Occasionally I say that to persons younger than myself when they see my Britool valve tool, and they look at me with a blank expression... But it doesn't seem like so long ago that my uncle was standing in a cloud of smoke saying to me "Boy, on a farm vehicle you need to lap in the valves every 30,000 miles at least"..
I'll keep an eye out, but the only T-11 I have ever seen in the wild was inside that set I found at a flea market. They may be more common as orphans on eBay, I don't know. Maybe a couple will show up here for you.
My experience reaches back to a1929 Buick, but that is an overhead valve engine. Repair books at the time mention engine overhaul at 20,000-30,000 miles.
Can you lend me your luck for a weekend or two? lol I've chased that damn jack for 8 years now and still have not landed one. Nice grab!Here is an interesting chain of events.
Last night I went on the hunt for a T11 valve grinding socket on the internet. As I was searching other states for it I ran across this Blackhawk jack (SJ 18)
The jack is in Utah and it was 11 PM there. I sent a text to my daughter who lives about 20 minutes away from this jack and asked her to call me if she was still up. About 2 minutes later the phone rings and I tell her what I have found.
She promised me that she would track it down for me in the morning.
I get a call this afternoon from her telling me that the jack is bought and that she has it being delivered to me tomorrow.
As it turns out Her husband was having a friend from So Cal visiting him and was spending the night with them then tonight he was headed to vegas then to So Cal on Thursday and would love to see my garage and would use the floor jack as a calling card to get into my party garage.
This will be the jack to finish off the totem pole jack display
