He told us a story about taking the rutted dirt road over the pass (you can still see the ruts in some places near the pass on some of the side roads)... One day he threw a bearing. So he got out of his model (T? A? I can't remember) took his hat off and drained the crank case into it. Removed the pan, folded up the tin foil (real tin) from some chewing gum he had on hand, shimmed the bad bearing with it, tied everything back up and then poured the oil in his hat back into the motor....and off he went. Don't shoot me, that's his story. My Grandpa (born in 1900) said they used to use bacon rind for bearing lube around the farm. Cut it into strips and tightly wrap it around the axle spindle. Reinstall the wheel and good to go. _________________ "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living". -- Travis A Kisner |

The one on the left is a metal version of a hand screw clamp (usually made of wood and used to hold pieces of wood together while gluing).
The one on the right appears to be a general purpose C clamp, often used to hold a piece to a surface while working on it. But if they for a specialized application, I don't know what they would be used for. _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

Not exactly a tool. IDK, maybe it is...
Finally got around to fishing the fuel can spout out of the tank on the boom truck. I had to take the air cleaner off to get in there. Also found this stuff:  The wire part is a retainer for the fuel cap. Not sure what the other bits are. Possibly a float for the fuel gauge? The fuel gauge works though What say y’all?

I have an idea of what this is. But let’s see what y’all think. I’d say it’s in good condition. It cover in cosmoline .
40 pounds of cast iron. 15 1/4” X 13 3/8”. There is no name or markings. Just a brass tag that’s probably just for inventory control. Top  Bottom, with three leveling legs.  Brass tag says 4EPF (then stamped it says) 20173  |

Mom sent me this picture and asked what it was for. She found it clearing out the garage
Looks like a jack of some sort. Not sure if it’s collectible or goes to something collectible. The only markings on it are ‘VF’ on the top  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |
