WHX?? 48,821 #1 Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Santa not a dang thing but @Achto stopped over last night for a few tails and made me this! Tell them about drilling thru the mushroom gear for the wiring Dan. The holes in the pail shade were all drilled by hand & note the ag treads. The finial was made by @Wheel Horse 3D Is this thing cool or what!!!! Rated right up there with Kohler shroud clocks! Pics do not do the thing justice! Thanks Dan! He also made Cindy a display sign for The Flame at shows! Edited December 24, 2021 by WHX?? 19 1 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,590 #5 Posted December 24, 2021 I'm really glad that you like the lamp Jim. If any one wishes to drill the 10mm x 8" long hole through a mushroom gear like I did to make the lamp, here is my advice. Chuck the gear up in a lathe, chuck a 10mm carbide bit in the tail section and pack a lunch. Cause your going to be there a while. The metal that used on those mushroom gears is harder than Chinese algebra. Nothing but fine metal dust coming off from the drill. 1 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta half a mind to make a travel box for it and set it up in the window of the horse hauler at shows. I says to Dan I am running out of room in the magic parts shed so you get to be tranny parts queen. Now he's got buckets full of both good and bad tranny parts. Note: No (savable) gears were harmed in the making of of this lamp. Don't be shy about showing what Santa brought you! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,130 #15 Posted December 24, 2021 @Jeff-C175 Being this is a '53 model Walk-Away, you'll see all the elements of the later RJ-35 hub here only instead of the gear and pawl drive setup riding inside those hubs, this gear and pawl set rides on the outside of the axle, on the inside of the rim. Notice, these rims have a solid center section that holds this setup together, using a simple washer and cotter pin, with no lug bolts being used here. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
