So what did you buy today

[slackinoff]

@davidwyby - Sweet! Good luck! I'm kind of embarrassed to say I have been running the beat up top instead.....the one I reconditioned is just too nice.

I'll find another one to redo and then I'll probably be more inclined to actually use it.

Cuz the hood is worth $

That YardGlider is cheap, only $200 plus depending on size and shipping, $400+. I will pass.

Why not find a hood off of squared body truck, and eye bolts and cable?

Never given it that much thought. This popped up on my pc and I was merly musing over it...

i bought it and i have no idea what to put in it, any suggestions?

I don't know if this is correct for your drill but I found this.

so that it could fit, I have a 3/8 "round hole" I agree with the device model. How much does such a set cost

They look expensive if these are the right ones. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313082967356?hash=item48e532f53c:g:5k8AAOSwr15evXwB

probably that's why someone got rid of this device ;-) it is little used and the drill is knocking nicely

I also saw an adapter to use taper fit bits. https://www.bamanufacturing.com/page_34.htm I think the taper bits are also expensive.

This showed up. I hope I’m half as good at making it look nice as @slackinoff View attachment 324494

Premix then WD40

from word to word it came out that the mount is on a 3/8 "cone

I guess that's good and on Zoro they are not as expensive as I thought, if cone means taper.

I got a Duluth Trading gift card this Xmas and since they don't make jeans small enough for me I'm picking up a "confined spaces" inspection camera and a infrared thermometer. I mostly use the thermometers as a laser pointer or a way to harass people, but it'll be nice to stash in the truck.

Went and got a new 20" bar and chain for a newly acquired husqvarna 61. Parts for the rebuild should be here this week.

That looks great! I'm going to rub mine down in WD40 as well. That clean white top I did will absorb stains like crazy. WD40 should help that I would imagine. Thanks for the tip.

Here's what I just bought today. For my tillotson 224a. Finally figured out why my new build drops idle when turned sideways with the larger 224a and not the original 163a. It's a worn throttle plate. Which is good, I'd rather not be replacing these brand new crank seals.

I got tired of using a bucket to clean parts so I ordered a small 5 gallon parts washer and some Mean Green.

Let us know how it works. I like the plastic case.

Many years ago I bought a small, metal one from Northern Tool, to use mostly on bicycle parts. Used water based degreaser. That one did work that well for me and went to CL. I still like the idea though

I think I may need it some time soon
