Vintage shop machine pics...

[JK#2]

I don't post here much, but, I just had to show the tool fans these pics. After blowing the rear main seal out of my new Ford F-250 bucket truck, I was sitting at my Division HQ in Tulsa, in the heavy vehicle garage, and got to looking at the machinery sitting around. The lathe had a 6' - 8' throat and was very filthy. The thing that I liked was that the lathe and the "drill press" are belt driven. There was also a hole punch machine and a throatless shear. The guy that came and got my truck said he'd been there 15 yrs and never seen the hole punch run. Oh well, they all have to go up for auction sooner or later.

Neat stuff there JK#2! Always enjoy looking at the old machinery.

So are they just storing them, or are they actually used?

Hell, no matter. Save your pennies and make them an offer!

I can see the house from my office window, used to walk over for a chat every now and again. Everything was steam powered... and a cup of tea made in the backyard from the boiler tasted the best.
