At work we had an ultrasound gun and one of its uses was to teach the guy how to grease bearings. Later we bought a grease gum that had an ultrasonic probe on the grease gun tip gin to headphones. At the. Pal plant with a couple miles of conveyor rollers it paid for itself quickly reducing conveyor failures and down time

@bc.gold picking up anything of an earlier era , is a totally different mind set ,durability , and initial build up design does not exist today .think I would just go , go over every function detail , enhance if needed , 3-1 oil is commonly used , in simple units . my grandmothers , treadle sewing machine , was a prime example of that , made a lot of clothes for me . also made a new top for , my grandfathers chevy touring car , which he flipped over ! pete -
Glad to have you on the site. That is a prime example for this site, helping others keep they're machines alive.

American iron, Crescent 30 Inch Bandsaw
Handy Don replied to bc_gold's topic in non tractor related discussion
Makes sense to me to make that operation easy and controlled to encourage frequent use since, of course, having the upper guide close to the workpiece makes for more precise cuts. The throat depth of that saw tells me it was used on very large items, too, where a messed up cut could be quite costly. It also looks like it has a small drive wheel and and idler to keep the table height low. Good luck with it! -

need help deciding tire size
rick replied to John c's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I replace my tires on my WH tractors with the OEM size and type. I have one set of 71/2" wheels with Carlisle ags mounted for garden ploughing. When I need traction for snow plowing I use chains on turf tires with WH plastic covered wheel weights installed. - Today

The last bearings I replaced in a WH were sealed bearings in the front wheels on my 314-8. I have replaced several deck bearings with sealed bearings, but that deck is gone along with the 310-8 it came on. Now it lives at my son-in-laws in the weather. A lot of my OPE lives under a shed roof, but it is out of the rain, ice, sun and snow.

What Brand Battery For 314-8?

I have been using NAPA 8229 batteries and had good service, but I had to switch to Optima Redtop for the last truck battery. -

Near as I can figure the weight assists in repositioning the height of the blade guide making the change a single handed operation. Once the guide is unlocked it will remain in it current location until its been physically relocated into a new position. I'm thinking this saw was used in a furniture or casket shop, working with expensive wood you would not want the blade guide slamming down onto the surface of the wood being cut. Sash window weights are essential, hidden counterbalances—typically made of lead, iron, or steel—that allow double-hung windows to operate smoothly and stay open at any height. They are connected to the sash via cords or chains running over pulleys. Proper balancing requires matching the weight to the sash -
Astroturf had to be used because they were unable to keep natural grass from dying. The initial stadium design featured thousands of clear Lucite windows, which created intense glare, making it nearly impossible for baseball players to track fly balls. To fix the glare they painted the roof panels white, which subsequently deprived the turf of sunlight and caused the grass to die, leaving a dirt field that was painted green. The Solution; Monsanto developed a synthetic surface that was installed in 1966. The high-profile installation in the "Astrodome" led to the product being branded as AstroTurf.

I'll try to be a bit slower off the mark in future 🙃 (but thanks to my Mom for making me learn to touch type.) To be sure, you were slowed down by having a lot more info to share.

Ed Kennell replied to bc_gold's topic in non tractor related discussion
Is that hanging weight just to balance the weight of the upper guide and is the cantilevered weight a balance or is it used to apply a constant tension to the band? -
Troy was one of New York States industrial and commercial powerhouses at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Situated at the top of the navigable portion of the Hudson River, it served as a critical trade hub connected to the Erie and Champlain Canals. Known for textile production and heavy industry, including iron, steel, bells, and textiles, it rivaled Pittsburgh in steel production. The city produced iron for the Civil War ironclad ship, the USS Monitor. In addition to steel products, Troy played a major role in the fashion industry, The Collar City: In the 19th century, Troy became the center of the American detachable collar and cuff industry, producing nearly all of them in the U.S. at its peak. Have you heard of “Uncle Sam?” During the War of 1812, Troy meatpacker Samuel Wilson (known as "Uncle Sam") supplied rations to the U.S. Army, leading to the nickname for the nation's symbol. Troy’s most lasting claim to fame is being the “Birthplace of Technology Education.” Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)the oldest engineering school in the U.S., was established in Troy, NY, in 1824. @Handy Don got in there while I was hunt and peck typing.

Home to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (aka RPI), still going strong as the oldest technological university in the English-speaking world and in the Western Hemisphere. And they have a hockey team!

There is a large drive chain inside that will drag the oil to the top of the case.

I have a rotary phase converter with grease fittings and a plug opposite the grease fittings. Instructions are to remove the plug and then pump grease in till it come out the plug hole. Then run the converter till it warms up and no more grease flows out, then replace the plug.

America the Beautiful Senior Pass
rmaynard replied to Beap52's topic in non tractor related discussion
Back to the pass. I bought my National Park senior pass (top image) back in 2012 when I turned 62. The cost was $10. When my wife went to buy one years later, the cost had risen to $80. So she didn't get one. Fast-forward to 2023, we went to Kitty Hawk. My carload got in free, but our traveling partner, also a veteran, did not. However, the gate keeper told them to go around to the other side of the gatehouse where he was given an America The Beautiful Gold Star and Veteran pass. It was free and good anywhere the National Park pass was accepted. -
