    Craigslist funny time

    So he's used the engine to get the crank arrangement. Notice an upside down piston on the bore he's using. Can't imagine it hits very hard. Bob

    Swapping drivetrain in an old Hyster...

    I don't know anything about forklift transmissions, but I'm thinking that putting a drivetrain in from a vehicle that could hit 100 mph seems odd. I know the wheels are smaller, but........ What am I missing here ? Bob

    Shoutout for Sunbelt hydraulic tilt trailer moving a lathe.

    Not the trailer I was talking about. More like this one, but single. See how the trailer has dropped right down between the wheels; very low ramp angle. Bob https://www.sunbeltrentals.com/equipment-rental/general-construction-tools/14-16-lift-bed-tandem-axle-trailer-10k/0241725/

    Shoutout for Sunbelt hydraulic tilt trailer moving a lathe.

    The photos you guys have posted are a different kind of trailer. On the one he rented, the whole deck and drawbar were one piece. The axle twisted for the whole trailer to drop down to the deck, between the wheels, with a very low ramp angle. My only reservation with Sunbelt is that their site...

    Shoutout for Sunbelt hydraulic tilt trailer moving a lathe.

    I sold a Victor 1640 lathe yesterday and the guy came with a Sunbelt trailer. Lathe weighs around 3,600 lbs. Sorry no pics, but it did happen ! The trailer was a very strongly built single axle trailer with lots of very strong tie-downs, and a vertical 2" receiver hitch at the front. The axle...

    Is it reasonable to buy a Colchester Dominion 13 without a "test drive" / powering up test ?

    I picked up a 1972 Harrison M540, same as Colchester 21 x 80, from a machine builder in Harrisburg PA. It was one of a pair ! Back in 2020. The seller was part of Parker-Hannifin and they were closing this location. At the sale was a big bed grinder and beautiful HBM. My lathe came with 12"...

    Wood grinder teeth material spec.

    More pics.... Two rows of these "teeth" in the grinder. The one he gave me as a sample has cracked, but apparently they last for years with repeated hard-facing.

    Wood grinder teeth material spec.

    Alro, one of the local suppliers has hot rolled M1044 for about $0.50 /lb, whereas 4140 is more than twice the price and only available as cold finished. I'm thinking 1044 will be fine. Bob

    Wood grinder teeth material spec.

    Gary, I was at my customer today. He has an automatic machine that makes 500 new pallets a day, and he also repairs over 1,000 pallets a day. He grinds the scrap wood up and has a big "sausage stuffer" that creates 50 feet long, 12" diameter erosion control "sausages". He has a bigger grinder...
