Today I acquired...........

[Seadog]

It'll be a while before I do anything with it. It will get a complete strip and inspection. The receiver looks to be 3/8" or thicker.

I'll rig something eventually perform a hydraulic test. It's tested at 240psi and rated at 160.

I wouldn't get 2 hung up about a leak on the tank. if it was rusted through which is hardly likely it would just pin hole at the bottom. if that was the case just turn the tank over and give it some good taps with a ball pein hammer if it dents its thin if nowt happens its fine

Some more of my recent auction bargains.

I’ve never had a set of welding/grinding shields so these were a no brainier.
I’m not sure what most of the anvil stakes are for but I’m sure I’ll find a use for them.

 

[Pete.]

Is the tuning fork one for making chain links I wonder?

 

[bigegg]

the "tuning fork" is for bending.
the top left is a hot chisel.
the ones on the right (top 2, bottom 2) are for making specific shapes- possibly should have a matching top tool.

the two flat blocks are for working inside corners.
the centre tool looks like a tinman's stake for working internal seams etc.

the bottom left triangular tool? not sure

From the washing basket, a packet of bolts... the same packet that ‘went missing’ last week and that I had to re-purchase

Must have been in my jacket pocket the whole time and then fell out!

 

[dan.taylor.1]

Bottom right are swages for making bar round. Should have a top tool the same size with them.

 

[Memmeddu]

I lost my chinese wrench so I had to replace it with a Beta one

 

[Tinbasherdan]

A bad back and a new lathe been doing some frantic swapping in order to acquire this off a friend and am really pleased now it’s arrived!
Moving my old lathe was entertaining as I did it on my own and a pit board snapped under it as I was moving it out. Thankfully pit is filled to within 6” of the top but still, a bit of poo came out.

It’s an ex school machine, has a brand new single phase motor on at the mo but has come with the original 2 speed 3 phase motor, as it’s the high speed version. Also came with 4 boxes of tooling weighing about 20 kilos each, a set of random changwheels (not off the Harrison, will need to identify them) and a box of horizontal milling cutters I’m not telling you what it cost me in realistic terms as I’ll get lynched but fair to say I couldn’t have bought the motor for it in Cash, much less the whole machine

@eLuSiVeMiTe was looking for changwheels I think

 

[Seadog]

Two travelling steadies. I'll bet there's going to be a few people after that

Never mind those...

@Keith 66 @Brad93 look what’s on the floor...

I was waiting for that, it’s not a fixed steady for that machine unfortunately. It will however end up as one for it, needs machining to suit the bed

 

[Seadog]

Well spotted Chad

Spare changwheels seem to be 14 dp with a 3/4” bore

 

[HughF]

This had been lingering on FB Marketplace for months. It popped up again on my feed yesterday, a give away price. If I hadn't bought it then I fear it was destined for the scrapyard.

Complete and completely original but missing one of the three wingnuts from the belt guard

It was interesting getting it out of the car and manoeuvreing it through my tiny flat alone.

Now I need to finish my rotary converter build

Very nice, - exactly the same as mine, except yours is 3 phase.

Right, you're banned from posting for at least 3 weeks!

They'll be forming an orderly queue......

Shame. Need 16 dp here
Thanks for the heads-up @Dieselkid 63

 

[Maker]

Two hundred quid brand spanking new, don't really need one but can't complain.
