Good find, these seem to be discarded when engines and transmissions are separated. It's tough to find the right one when you buy an engine and a transmission separately. Edit: However there's also a small separate lower piece that you now have to find!
For a long time, I thought those air tanks were super rare and I never saw any for sale out in the wild. Then suddenly they seemed like they were everywhere and now I have 4. Don't know what I'll ever do with 4 of them but they sure are cool.
It’s a circular gasket maker. I’ve made hundreds of gaskets made from cork, drabula, (asbestos containing), etc for use in power plants. Mostly on transformers and large oil filled switches. Mechanics made them for valves. Bolt holes were done with hole punched. We made longer extensions for large generator access holes.
Check out this little fire chief car I dragged home. Not a pedal car, it has an electric motor, brakes, and a forward/reverse switch. "Star Lite" is the name on the dash, and the speedo shows that it's going 98mph. Can anyone tell me more about it?
Is yours powered? If so, how many volts is the motor? Pics! I'd like to see the tail lights. They were the 1st thing busted off, I'm sure!
There was a really good estate auction this week and I got a whole bunch of neat new shit. A couple old bodyworking tools Some little parts cabinets full of stuff, a clock, and some other fun junk Even my butt-wipes are going to be period correct with this swell new toilet paper holder This banner is apparently for a Civil War soldier's reunion, should look pretty cool hanging from the rafters of my garage. I like that it's Dodge county, too. I got a bunch of other stuff, including a bead roller (which isn't antique so I didn't take a picture) although I did get this Pexto slip roller. Is a slip roller useful for auto body work? I can't think of what I'd make with it. Probably going to flip that unless anyone has any suggestions on what to use it for. Also, the son of the guy whose estate it was gave me this 1938 Ford Transit Bus grille which was attached to his dad's garage door. I asked about it and he said he'd give it to me, I said I'd give it a good home. Awesome wall hanger for sure.
That grill might look good on a t bucket or where a tracknose might be used. It appears short and stout, but if it came from a bus it might be bigger than it appears.
It's humongous, probably 3 feet tall in the center, although it would be easy to cut way down if a use for it ever came up.
It's just going to be a wallhanger for now. If the perfect use for it ever came up, I'd consider modifying it, but likely it'll just be a cool display. The guy was just going to leave it with the house, so I'm really grateful he gave it to me, it might have ended up in the trash otherwise.
Like I said, same car, different department. No taillights here either, First casualty of rookie cops and firemen?? By the look of the tires on mine it must of gone on a lot of high speed pursuits.
You better get some paper loaded up in that T.P. dispenser before you open that can of "Whiz" in your second picture.
A 5th wheel, old tach, 2 nice Rochester 2jets and lead tools. In the orange box is paddles, lead stick and tinning acid I’ll get a price on this pile of junk soon
