What’s Hot and What’s not this year?

Absolutely... my dad had a nice collection in his 80's. At least 100. -
What you call a lifting master is normally called a fork lift here. Regardless of what you call it, that is a very handy tool for moving things around. You will probably wonder how you got along without one. The discussion on taps and dies brought to mind an adventure I had with one of my projects at work. The last position I had before retiring was the tooling engineer for the press department. As new products came into the plant, I was very involved in design and development of the new press dies to build the new product. The winning vendor for one job ended up being a Brazilian tool shop. Well, Brazil is a country that runs on the metric system. The plant I'm working in is in the middle of the US - deep in SAE territory. I specified that the bolts in these tools were to be SAE threads. SAE threads are also called English threads. I'm guessing that the tool shop had to buy some 'English' bolts and taps. What we actually got were Whitworth threads - a thread system that originated and was common in England in the 1st half ov the 20th century.

What’s Hot and What’s not this year?
Ed Kennell replied to JoeM's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
I'm there for sure. Every year when I get back from the Big Show, many unsold heavy items go on the scrappers pile. Last year I scrapped many axles and deck support hardware. -
If it's truly in museum condition, I can see why you'd joke about it belonging in a museum instead of your garage! Do you ever feel tempted to put more hours on it, or are you trying to preserve it as long as possible?

If you’ve followed @953 nut’s sequence and demystification diagram in post #37 with a VOM and found 12V power after each and every component (fuse, switch, etc) then a “non-start” is a cosmic mystery. HOWEVER, if the very first place in the sequence where you do not see power is on the S terminal on the ignition switch (while the key is being held in the “start” position, of course) then you can begin to assume a problem with the ignition switch. I”m assuming here that you have and know how to operate a volt-ohm meter in VDC (volts DC) mode and are connecting the Minus/Gnd/Ground/Black lead to the negative/minus battery terminal and the Plus/Positive/Red lead to each location in the wiring in the sequence shown under the stated conditions (key to start, clutch disengaged, PTO disengaged, oil level OK). Also assuming that you are proceeding sequentially and not trying to jump around making guesses.

Hope its the best one ever.

Wooden truck bed build thoughts
dodge78 replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Here is a bed I built some years ago. The sides would come off by loosening 2 bolts. In had a pin at the top with 2 clamps at the bottom and was as solid as a stock box. Solid enough I used the stock hardware to make a functioning tailgate. I cut the end of a box off that had the catches and straps to hold the tailgate. I used strap hinges so I could remove the tailgate and put a solid rod into to lock in the ramps. I put metal over the tires to keep the height lower and were removable so I could put in a flat piece if needed. But I do not think I ever needed to. This was built the size of a bed liner so it was smaller. -
What’s Hot and What’s not this year?
Handy Don replied to JoeM's topic in Wheel Horse Collectors Club Show
Maybe 29? I still have some surviving spackle buckets from building my home over 40 years ago in my early 30’s. Been keeping any that come my way since and they don't leave unless damaged beyond usability or gifted to deserving individuals. Just yesterday i grabbed one of the nicer 90mm ones that still has a smooth rim and set up a DustTopper dust collection system (the standard HDs are only 70mm and will collapse under vacuum). -

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ineedanother replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
I tested it on a damaged decal and it was fine so now I apply it right over them. Mine are all original so I can't say how new ones would react and can't say for certain that even the originals are all the same. -
