    1960 Craftsman Wood Lathe Motor Position

    That illustration is a terrible place for the motor! Down below the table with a longer belt and on the other side of the spindle would be much better as for keeping it away from the turning dust. A TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled) motor would be best, but use what you have, try to shield it...

    air compressor

    Hopefully there would be enough left of the old starter to identify it. For one to burn up beyond use is rare, usually a single component failed, like the coil, or the contacts, or a heater, which can be replaced as opposed to starting over from scratch. A good magnetic starter is very...

    Question about pallet racking.

    The few times I have had to deal with racking I found: Buying new was completely out of the question! That used was plentiful and reasonable, especially if it was damaged. That damaged was no big deal as it would have to be cut up and modified to fit. Any style will do as long as you don't...

    Intentionally weakening leaf springs

    Sitting down on the bump stop is not good, especially hauling heavy loads on rough terrain, good way to bend it or snap off a spindle! Springs are cheap, time to replace them.

    It only took 45 years

    Never heard of a compressor inspection. We did have a boiler inspection every 2 years, and they were very consistent and thorough on that. One place I worked had the oldest powered freight elevator west of the Mississippi (so I was told). It used to get an annual city inspection and was...

    Best Dumpster Find?

    My prize dumpster dive got me full size Delta Rockwell table saw, a real one with a cast iron top! This would have been in the mid 80's, I was working for a large company with several divisions. Occasionally I would get called to the plastics division to troubleshoot their injection mold...

    Long 460 clutch problems

    Welcome Don! I'm not familiar with the Long tractor, but before going into the clutch, do some preliminary checks to be sure it really is the clutch. From what I understand of your description, there is no drive. It could be something beyond the clutch. There should be a way to peek into the...

    Wiring universal ignition switch to farmall 504 diesel

    That's probably not going to be the best switch for that application. Here's what happens inside the switch: With the key slot vertical, everything is off. One position to the left gives you connection between the BAT and ACC only. One position to the right gives connection between BAT, ACC...

    Identify tractor model

    TO 35 was the last of the Harry Fergusons in 1960. The model and serial number was on a small aluminum tag on the dash board. The tag was held with small screws, so it is common to have it missing or changed. You may be seeing a casting number, or ?. Other than the dash tag or the tag on the...

    How to loosen a stuck flare nut on a fuel line

    One trick I have used when excess force is needed on a tubing wrench is to clamp Vise Grips tightly over the wrench to keep it from spreading or breaking.

    Programmable thermostats

    Make that Function 5, to setting 3. Sorry!

    Programmable thermostats

    With only 2 wires, the way I see it would be the R and W terminals, the R being the 24 VAC or milliamp source, and the W being the load (solenoid). Be sure this is a 24 v or milliamp system, NOT line voltage! On page 9-10 of the manual you need to go into Advanced Installation, go into...

    Ted-20 12 volt battery type

    It doesn't need a high amp battery, so whatever will fit the battery tray will work. I would look for the smallest automotive battery you can find. Even a garden tractor battery will work but they have a reputation for being short lived, but are usually cheaper. A small, low amp battery...

    Handy Tool

    I picked up a handy cleaning tool yesterday and it worked really well! We have a walk in tile shower that has a problem with hard water deposits. Getting down on the floor and scrubbing it is no longer an option for me or my wife. I found this at Home Depot, a Ryobi extendable scrubbing...

    Machining Bendix cv joints

    Is the play so bad that it is causing problems? As slow as they turn, I think I would grease them up and see what happens.

    Parts Washer Solvent suggestions

    I gave up on keeping a home parts washer years ago. Every type of petroleum base solvent I tried was futile. Very expensive and evaporated faster than I could justify the cost of getting to use it once then be gone a week later. Of course, this was in a closed up shop that got very hot in the...

    Wood Lathe Recommendations

    No experience with wood lathes, but Jet makes some quality tools. They are import, but I don't know of any that aren't. Look into the used market, lots of bargains to be had with some research.

    Generator exhaust

    It can be done if done correctly. I would suggest using a short piece of high temp flex line at the engine end to relieve vibration stress on the pipe, and be sure there is an air space around the pipe where it exits the wall. An exhaust pipe contained inside away from natural drafts can get...

    Catching the gas when draining a IH 330 fuel tank?

    The debris is probably not getting into the tank unless your fuel supply is contaminated. If so that needs to be addressed first. It is more likely the inside of the tank is flaking rust. If it is, cleaning will only be a short term fix and may even start it leaking. The long term fix is to...
