    Grease

    Texasmark -- What part of what I said are you objecting to, and why? John

    Grease

    Pretty much any grease having a National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) rating "GC-LB" (chassis and wheel bearings respectively) should meet the need. Neither color nor additives -- graphite, "moly", PTFE and so forth -- are deciding factors.

    Auction find

    When I was in high school and my first couple of years in college, the holy grail of slide rules was considered to be the Keuffel + Esser Log-log Deci-Trig. I didn't care for straight slide rules, and used a circular slide rule that fit in my shirt pocket. It was in essence a stamped aluminum...

    So which chuck did you get, and are you satisfied with its runout?

    Scope

    From distant old memory, so take it with a proverbial dose of salt: The human eye can resolve roughly 1 inch at 100 yards under good conditions, with resolving ability decreasing as conditions worsen. If a tine is 1/2 inch diameter, it should be visible to the naked eye at 50 yards. Seeing...

    Fun project

    Don't forget to check how well the two pieces fit together before tightening the bolts. If there are gaps between the surfaces, or the column rocks, you don't want to ignore the problem lest you strain the joint when tightening the bolts . . . at the very least, fill the gap with shim. It...

    Drill chucks

    580 case wheel bolt repair

    HeliCoil-type wound-wire inserts considered one-time-use hardware? Nonsense! Ok, the so-called locking wound-wire inserts are considered effective for five screw installations, but they loose their running torque, not their loadbearing capacity. That said, and even though I'm not familiar...

    Repairing Farmall H case - chunk missing

    I'll encourage you to take some time to read through the Technical Support section of Lock-N-Stitch's website: www.locknstitch.com The foremost (in my opinion) industrial specialists in cast iron repair are Lock- N-Stitch here in California, and Reynolds- French in Oklahoma. Both have...
