Bog roll, probably a lifetime supply now. All without depriving anyone or early store raids. Just pick some up when it's on sale as it won't spoil. Last purchase past Jan when a store had 12 packs for .99 as a loss leader. If it's anything like ammo, when things settle out the new normal...

I could have swore that I had a set of these; we replaced an old feeder at work and I brought the old one home for parts. Still have the motor that has the matching gear, but all of the rollers I have are the quick fits. The geared ones I was thinking of were these, don't know where they came...

Don't know if you want this here, but since I can't open anything there, this is what I get at the welding site. Latest Firefox, win 10, works fine here and elsewhere.

A quick look in my big bearing cheat book indicates that 13133 is a Fuller number, and corresponds to group 52408.

All good ideas, I've got the ball-pein set, the soft face set, rubber mallets as well as claw and drilling hammers. And the sledge for when nothing but a bfh will do. With the advent of cheap led shop lights, you can easily have good lighting now, and they start right up in the cold. While...

Thought it might be interesting to see what everyone considers must have items for a shop to be useful. Of course some of us are far beyond the minimal requrements to get things done, I'll start off with what I'd consider minimum, and why it's necessary. Power - You really need to have power...

In the quick reply dialog box, it's this item in the top menu. Will allow thumbnail uploads from your computer or a web link.

Mine are po'-boy greenhouses, made from 5 doz egg crate cut to fit into Costco clear muffin boxes. I move them from an east to a south window during the day. When they get big enough to put in pots they go outside on nice days.

I've got a big book of seal cross reference (one for bearings and v-belts as well), and with your part number of 63X899 that suggested an ISI group 61903, which has a couple colums of different manufacturers part numbers. Hopefully you'll be able to find something.

Still have these kicking around, at least 45 years old and still intact.

A few pages back someone was lamenting that there were only 4 corner tiedowns in the pickup box, I had the same problem. I liked the hooks on my Datsun, but not the way they had a tendency to hook clothing when working over the side. I built some rails for the side of my Toyota with half...

First for me was Evergreen elementary, a two room schoolhouse that did grades 1-6. There were typically around 30-34 students for the whole school. Here's a pic of 4-6, must have been '67 or '68. I went with this one rather than an earlier on as it has part of the building in it.

The fan, which is bonded to the armature, is immediately behind the plate, so there is no way to get to the back side of the bearing without the formed nut coming off first. There are no utube vids or anything I can find regarding this. Apparently B&D considers this a disposable item. I'm...

Not tractor related, but since we don't have a tool thread and since this is where the HF thread is... Picked up a B&D 7613 type 4 router that has a bit of play in the lower bearing. There is a formed nut holding the armature against the bearing, which is secured from inside the spider. The...

James, a looong time ago I read a book titled Tandem Rush, about the early days of the phone phreaks with the blue boxes. Still have it in the library (along with the 9k or so other books) It was written in 1978 by Frederic V Huber, your typical good guy vs. bad guy trying to bring down...

Sometimes the bigger ones are better deals because the smaller ones are in demand more. Mine is a Hyster H50H of unknown vintage, but it was only $500 from work, saved them from fixing it up and running it through the auction. 5000 lb capacity, had a weak cylinder (in the engine) and the...

I picked up a couple of them a few years ago off craigslist for free. The transmissions seem to turn free, not sure what can be made with them but I'm not in a hurry to scrap them out. Something might be of use someday. The numbers on the ID tags resulted in a Sears Roebuck item number from...

And then you always have that one clock that was working fine until you changed the time, then it wouldn't start again.

This was on the Melroe Facebook page; not on the highway, hopefully they gave up before getting that far.

Got a few pics of Nine O Nine when the foundation was up here for Warbirds over the West back in June. I'm between KSLE and KMMV which houses the Evergreen Air Museum so when they make their revenue runs they are often nearly directly overhead at 1000" agl

I looked it up in this huge set of books I have, found pretty much what you already know but have some dimensions and an industry standard code that might be helpful.

I have a Stromberg Carlson rotary dial phone with a 1973 date stamp on the bottom. I'd imagine that you could plug it in and it would work as good as when it was mothballed, which occurred after the second time a truck took out the low hanging line. Told the guy that fixed it the first time...

I roll them too, easier to store the small ones in a .30 cal ammo box, and the unroll when you toss them factor. On our work trailer with winches, I went around and painted blocks on the side across so you'd know when you hooked there and tossed over there would be a winch waiting in line. Since...

There have always been feral cats around here, about seven years ago a couple of young ones were cavorting in the yard. Come wintertime, the gray one started hanging out on the back patio to get out of the weather. Made it a bed box and started feeding it. Eventually, it would come into the...

A while back I did my chains, it's amazing how well they can chameleon into grass or dirt, or a tree branch they were hung in "so they won't get lost" in their natural state. I had part of a can of florescent pink, which doesn't appear anywhere in nature. Not very durable, but incredibly garish.

My neighbors' little girl sometimes leaves the door open and their dogs take advantage of the lapse in security and have a walkabout. If I see them headed down the street, I usually just have to call their names and they know they're rumbled and head back home. And I just took home another...

I've got your basic stand alone big tub type. Got it before HF had stores here, at that time (89) there was a fuel distributor up in Woodburn that had solvent at a pump, you filled up containers. I put a regulator on the shelf next to it with a plastic hose so you can percolate a can with...

Mine stays under the extended roof of the shop, it stays dry and it's on gravel, no issues there but I did get it stuck in the lawn once when it hadn't dried up enough. Was moving a trailer and it didn't take much. Now you need some extended forks, I lucked into some 4x8 I beams and a chunk of...

Due to the popularity of the Western TV thread, and to keep it from drifting, how about a discussion of current shows that we like? How about all of the remakes, have they finally run out of ideas? Some that I particularly like are: Battlebots - teams compete to disable or destroy opponents bot...

I put a door on mine, cut a regular door hinge in half and trimmed it to fit so it swings both ways. The whole thing was made from free scrap that I'd accumulated; even the paint on the welds were drabs left over in rattle cans from other projects so the only direct cost was the shielding gas...

A lot of things don't make sense, first of all is that anyone who has handled dynamite knows that you don't prep it up in advance, like reloading cartridges. When transporting it you don't even have the caps and dynamite in the same location. As for the lack of carnage, consider that most of...

Sometimes you just have to make up tools for different applications. My default is the one in back with the 10" fuel line; also have one with a 3 foot line with a bend for sweeping the floor.

I have a question James, I get pretty good reception off a $25 craigslist TV antenna (looks like a 4 element Channel Master type), but I occasionally have difficulty with channel 2 and it's sidebands. They all come from "tower mountain" in Portland. Sometimes it perfect, sometimes it's so...

I probably found the same difficult to find picture that you have, looks like a three position lifting plate that mounts to two head bolts. (#3 in the pic.) If you could find one, it would probably be more expensive and not work as well as this HF load leveler, they are the real deal when it...

Don't have one here at the house. This is close; we'd cut the bottom off and weld on channel. Not the easiest fusing the cast to the mild, but they were never meant to be reefed on. One of these could be bolted to a chunk of channel for use as a weld on without boogering it up for woodwork.

Looks good, those have the proper taper and everything. Having the extra length comes in handy sometimes, especially on big bulky items like pickup toppers or beds. I picked a whole S-10 Blazer body off the frame without a bit of damage, would have been nearly impossible without the longs.

I was having a nose-about on ebay and ran across a damaged take-off motor from a Brobo cold saw, which is quite similar to yours. Here's the shaft end. Listing

I had a chunk of expanded metal catwalk laying around, and enough other scrounged material to make a basket. The hinges are a regular door hinge cut in half and trimmed to fit, it has a dog kennel latch on the door now. Not seen are a couple of bed frame angle irons on the bottom to help guide...

It looks like it might be a version of a Ford Transit chassis.

Instead of a trailer plug, maybe install one of these heavier ones like they use on electric forklifts or receiver hitch winches. That will give more than enough capacity for what you need, and allow for future heavy current requirements, if any.

Did a search and couldn't find a thread for stuff that we've found at sales. Last week I scored a whole milk crate of cordless drills for $5. Had 4 drills, 6 batteries and 4 chargers. I needed an 18v charger for my HF drill that died ages ago, so I should be able to make something work from...

I built a basket a while back out of salvaged material I had laying around. The 4' chunk of catwalk was ideal for the base, the square top was from an old home gym that was by the road with a free sign on it, the 1.375 toprail was from a neighbor's fence I helped take down, the hinges are cut...

My neighbor gave me a Troy-Bilt pressure washer with, what he claimed was a blown engine. It's a vertical model with a Honda engine, and I know that Honda makes a pretty reliable mill, so I got around to taking it apart the other day. Three bolts holding the cart sandwitched between the engine...

I have my outside faucets on a well, which is located in a bedroom closet under the floor, not the most ideal place to work. It had been working fine until recently when a motor issue started kicking the shutdown on the motor. Pulled it and fixed a couple of wires going from the pressure...

I got kind of a late start this year, waiting for things to dry enough to till. Got some peas, radish and carrots in last Friday. Corn plants started in egg cartons in on Wed. I had tomato and pepper and cantaloupe started earlier this spring, but used dirt instead of potting soil and kept...

This might be of limited use to the lighter rigs, but I made my extended forks for things like this, where you need the reach. A board across the front where the doors are open and one across the back with some padding lifted the body off without a bit of damage, as if it really mattered...

I looked through my pictures and I don't have any; hopefully I can explain how we used them and it can be scaled to a similar use for others. This is a 47 foot long cantilever gate, one of the longer ones I've built. To move these around we'd put a loop of chain around the top rail at the...

One handy little thing to have for forks is this easy to make side carrier. We'd use them at work to move very large gates, or bundles of long material where there is a width clearance issue. such as going in or out of a roll up door. You can manage some pretty unwieldy items by yourself by...

I need to make some tiedown points on the pickup, so I got a stick of 2 x 2 x .187 mild steel. Going to weld some half chain links to use as rope hooks and attach bungees for tarps, etc. I need to cut the inside leg down to about 1" and will use the drop strip for backing on the underside. I...

Did a search and couldn't find anything here - does anyone have or has used one of these surface cleaners? I just ordered one off Amazon, $59 with free shipping. The only review I could find was from someone using it with a machine below the minimum pressure complaining that it wouldn't hover...

I used to build some really big gates that were a bit longer than my 20' table would handle (up to 54') and adjustable stands worked fine for keeping everything straight and level.

Hello all, like so many I figured this would be another good forum to add to the arsenal as it comes up on so many Google results. Don't have a tractor, unless you count the little Sears garden tractor I got to drag cars around with. I do have a Bobcat 700 and a Hyster H50 forklift, both have...
