So what did you buy today

[rogue60]

Gotta have an axe

True but what good is an axe if ya can't dig ya bogged vehicle out.

 

[Partner]

Instead of digging out the car, I'll split some wood

$5 drill, the wire was cut off, but it works fine even though the copper on the rotor has a darker shade near the commutator Perles XS 2100

If I cannot get a truck out with the Deere 700 then it will not be coming out. I believe this is a picture of the 700 my brother traded on the new one. It was taken at the dealership. I will ask my son as he works there.

That's a nice tractor.

That's a nice tractor.

The man that recreated the 150Hp Case from nothing but drawings is a sheer genius. That is a testament to pure determination.

I've been wanting a small power hacksaw for a while. This vintage unit popped up locally and I went to get it today. Paid £26 / $35. It needs a good clean, oil and adjustment, but it is really well made. It looks like the castings might have been supplied as a kit. The capacity of the vice is 3" x 3" so not bad for something so small. The saw frame takes 10" hacksaw blades. The motor is 1/4 horsepower. The oil pot damper is ingenious. The plunger pushes oil up a small return pipe and a screw valve controls the flow rate, and the rate of descent of the blade.

I had an old Keller power hacksaw but my son got rid of it.

It's a Chinese item for $10, I bought some new brushes, some grease, a spindle nut and I need to find an M12 handle / it has a soft start and an aluminum wire / This poor motor only needs a 4"-5" wire brush

Another lump of old metal followed me home. It's a vintage 'lightweight' Brown & Sharpe six inch dividing head. It will need a bit of tidying up as it has had a hard life, over the past 100 years or so. They don't make them like this anymore.

The threaded shaft sticking out of the backplate is stuck tight in the B&S No. 9 taper socket. Currently soaking it with Plusgas penetrating oil before I try again to shift it.

That shop floor is almost as boutique quality as Mastermind's.

That's the kitchen floor. Hence the paper to soak up any oil. Don't tell the wife!

 

[Sloughfoot]

I won't if you don't tell mine about the rifle brass I dry in her oven.

How about saw parts in the new dishwasher?

Saw this in ‘Clearance’ aisle at Menards. Don’t need it, but it fits my saw.



‘$64.95’ written on it with a ballpoint pen.

I ask a clerk, ‘$64.95 is the clearance price?’

‘Yeah’ he says.

‘Wow’, I replied. ‘If it was like $10, I would buy it’.

‘Want it for $10?’, he asked. It’s been there for, like 6 years’.

I now have a spare tablesaw insert.
