First up...1" Drive Snap On 2000 ft/lb torque wrench. I was told the guy worked for Bell and it was used to torque the Jesus nut (the nut that holds the main rotor on) on a UH-1. $40 at a garage sale down the road. It will make a nice wall hanger...I have absolutely no need for it. Just thought it was cool.

That's pretty awesome. All I have to add is my sweet/crappy late 70s Sears mower. 3 speed manual-esque tranny and it'll pop a tiny wheelie if you drop the clutch.

Nice on both! I'll have to grab a picture of the old two man saws my pops gave me. I still have one outside that Virginia bought me a while back that I need to get hung up with them.
Here is an old 50's craftsman vise I redid. Figured it was better than a lot of new stuff you can buy and for a lot less. After and Before
This was of the cooler things I uncovered. I bought this toolbox for $70 to use to house all my sand paper, wire wheels, grinding wheels, etc. I was just going to clean the grease off the gray paint and call it good. Well, the lacquer thinner revealed some red and hammertone gray paint. So I wiped all the paint off, wet sanded it, put a new lock in it, and greased the slides. It's an old Monkey Wards Powr-Kraft.
Walker Turner belt sander that I believe was made in 1939. The belts are an odd length that have to be custom made but it runs like a top. Got it for free from an old Ag in San Antonio.

That's sweet. how long is the belt? Can you or have you tried sanding exhaust manifolds?
Torque wrench pics are ti y...is it functional? I know someone who might could put it to use...

Buddy of mine picked this drill press up at a flea market.

'Merica made.
You should research that press. I wonder if they forged the top piece too. That's pretty cool that they made it as a project.Quote:

It had a SSN engraved into it. Came up as an old Ag who was also an Army medic I think? My buddy couldn't find anythjng current and he was older so I think he's passed.Quote:
