Hey guys I have been given a box of these flap wheels.

5.25" x 1.5" with a 1" arbor hole.

I instantly thought great I can put one on my bench grinder. 

Nope!    Not that simple.

The arbor size is different, and it's to wide to fit inside the the guard.

I thought of removing the guard but would like to have it there.

I guess I could make an arbor adapter and a spacer for the guard,and a new tool rest,etc. More time involved then first thought.

 

Does anyone use these, and if so what do you have it on?

I have used them in place of a buffing wheel to remove rust and shape the edge of items that have encountered the use of a BFH Tool. I use them on a 3/4 HP Baldor polishing machine.

      80s 211-3 mower deck manual
      By c100rider
      Hello fellas. I bought this 211-3 tractor. I have no clue how this mower deck comes off. I need to fix some areas on the deck, as well as replace a clutch cable. I can't seem to find pictures of a complete deck for this model as it should be. Need help.

      I've had some stuff laying around for a while now. I've had some ideas kicking around my head for a while as well.
      Well they met each other a few days ago.
      This is going to be a camp buggy of sorts. 
      Like any of my other builds I would appreciate any input anyone want to donate.

      I started a thread a little while back "Something from Nothing". It has been upgraded to this thread because now I'm building something from something lol. I started with a new frame and strengthened the transaxle mount a bit.
