never used SLIP, but I have used EZ Slide graphite paint in the past. It worked good, but you always had to re-apply it and now I can't find it locally (sold by Tractor Supply). I went with some $12 rustoleum oil base flat black this time.
I put a thick coat of SLIP on mine last fall. Hoping grass won't stick to it as much as it did to paint.

Dug this out of the tool dump. Three drawers were in front of another building half buried and this was in the back of a junk truck. It was swayed enough from falling that the drawers probably didn’t slide and likely why it was apart. I beat it back to almost square. The missing drawer, slides and top struts are ordered.

I've seen some angle iron used to span the box and then a handful of bar clamps on the ends of the angle iron, pull a couple of tool cabinets back fairly well.
I put a 2x4 on the bottom of the right side then beat on another 2x4 on the top left. I should have used a gentler method but that rusty fiskars sledge had a good wack to it. I clamped a Waterloo to a bench, clamped a piece of angle to pry against and straightened one that way but all my benches are buried with crap right now.

Those are still my favorite saws for some reason
I might even assemble the one I have in a box now :p
Just need a piston.
I do have a model 50, 45mm nos piston that is the same size as the 350, just flat instead of dished. Will experiment… otherwise, meteor if I can’t find a cheap oe one.

This saw wound up with 150#, cold comp with new Caber ring which ain’t bad. No base gasket, .019 sq. Opened up the ex port and lower transfers to match the base, muff mod.
