    K&T 2k starting problems

    I was doing a job with the machine running, but clutch disengaged and my back was turned. The machine started making a high pitched whining noise coming from the column. I tried to engage the clutch and all of a sudden it was very hard to pull the starting handle. I pulled a little harder and...

    WtBuy Monarch 20m shift lever

    Does anyone happen to have a scrap model M or any of the shift levers from one? I have been working on a 20cm (basically a model M, 22.5" swing) that was given to me, and slowly getting it up to running after sitting for many years. This morning I did some test cuts, and turned a cam lock...

    20cm Headstock oil capacity

    Does anyone have a 20cm or 20m (22.5" swing) that has recently changed the oil? I can't seem to find anything on headstock capacity. I have been going over a machine I got for the cost of moving it. Finally got it wired up today and I noticed no oil was flowing in the sight gauge. Popped the...

    20cm specs

    I am going to look at a 20CM (20"x48" but swings 22.5") tomorrow and I am having some trouble locating some specs on this lathe concerning weight. I can find specs on a 20M which looks very similar and the manual says a weight of 10,100. Anyone know the difference between the CM and M? I am...

    Looking for ideas for a salvaged part

    I work on big boats and usually when we replace large expensive stuff, the company that sends us a new part wants the old part back. This time they didn't and my boss asked if I wanted this before they took it to the dump lol. It is the top plate of a gyro stabilizer. This is a brand new part...

    Abused surface plate

    I answered an add for a free surface plate in a size I could use and the first person never showed up so off I went. The nice couple at the house said they purchased a home, and in the driveway was an old boxvan. The surface plate was in the boxvan and they told me the guy who bought the van...

    Do the K&T model k dividing heads all use the same indexing plates?

    I have been on the lookout for a nice dividing head and found a nice k&t 12" model k in nice shape with extra plates and a tailstock, and has had the spindle bored out to 2.250". The seller also had a 10" model k but it was naked; no plates, indexing arm/pin, indexing fingers, plate clamp. I...

    Adcock & Shipley 2agu weight?

    I have been trying to find the weight of this machine, or any specs for it really. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot on anything adcock and shipley. Best I could find is it seems to be 40 taper and have a 10"x40" table. Anyone happen to have one of these, or happen to know how it compares in...

    New Thompson 2f Issues

    I was given this grinder from a working shop, and told it had 2 issues. Yes it's a project but I have the space and had the capacity to move it pretty easily so I bought it home. I have a 6x18 Norton but this is a 8x24 so it would give me a little more capacity. The first issue is the motor quit...

    Newer Forklift, Dangerous "Safety" Devices

    I helped a good friend move a new machine yesterday into his garage. He has zero experience moving machine tools so asked me to help. We originally wanted to get my forklift over there but had trouble finding the correct trailer to haul it, so he just ended up renting a forklift. Mine is a Cat...

    Bux Mage Drill Parts

    I went and picked up an old milwaukee mag drill today and while looking at it the previous owner pulled out this little Bux mag drill and said if I bought the milwaukee he would toss this in. It looks to be in good shape, but is missing the mag part on the bottom. I wasn't sure if this would be...

    Wire Rope Sheave Bearing

    I am restoring an older model Autocrane and have gotten to the wire rope sheaves. There are 8 and all will need new bearings. The bearings have no markings but one was busted so I could see they are needle roller bearings. After doing some searching they look like single row airframe control...

    Alternative for synthane

    I have a part to make and the original shows it was made from synthane. This is a part for a small crane to protect from shorting out, its basically a ring .312 thick 10" diameter. I am having some trouble locating synthane in a small quantity and wondering what a suitable alternative would be...

    K&T 2k column problems

    I have an old 2k that I could use for a job and it quit workin on me. Went to start it up one day and it wouldn't quite engage when you pulled the lever, felt like it was catching on something. I also noticed the oil wasn't flowing through the sight glass anymore so i figured it probably wasn't...

    Towmotor lt-35 1 ton forklift

    I have a 60's towmotor lt-35 forklift. It is rated to lift a ton, and goes 12 feet high. Propane powered, has been a good little starter lift for me. I picked up a larger lift, so this one has just been sitting for a few months. If I had the room I would keep this little guy. Wouldn't start the...

    Forklift won't Start

    Here's a little back story. I recently picked up a new forklift and I have been getting ready to sell my old one. I've had the new one for a few months. I warmed up the old one and used it to change the main mast hose on the new lift. It sat idling for about 15 mins while I was testing/bleeding...

    Adjusting Rambaudi x axis screw

    I recently picked up a Rambaudi MS3 and have been cleaning it up. Getting to the point where I am about to put the table back on, and I noticed the bearings were loose for the x axis screw. Does anyone know the procedure to adjust this? Or even better a manual? There is only 2 locknuts, started...

    Forklift Lift Ratings

    I kinda thought all forklifts of the same lift rating were somewhat equal. After picking up a new(to me) milling machine yesterday, I see that's not quite the case. The machine I moved weighed about 5300 according to the manual, and had a 5000 lb forklift on the loading end and a different...
