OMG-Gloat

Congratulations! Quite a gloatable find, indeed.

Let us know how those new ultra-spiffy filters compare to the Harbor Freight one.

As far as the dance goes--I'm O.K. with it as long as you don't dress up like Minnie Pearl. ;-).

I don't know... I thought ZZ Top had some good moves! In fact, iffin I heard right over the shop din, I think Paula Abdul choreographed them!! No foolin!

How much do you think all that stuff was worth?

That sure beats my mini gloat. The shop that came with my house still had some bits and pieces of junk lying around in it that I've been checking and mostly chucking as I get my shop in shape. There was a 5 gal bucket with assorted pipe, valves, air regulators and junk in it, all used. I dumped it out to see if there was anything useful in it and found much to my surprize a fully functional Rigid 65R (I think) pipe threader head (ho handle obviously). 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" and 2" threading as the turn of a selector. The dies are clean and sharp too.

Now THERE is a mental image I dod NOT need!

thanks a heap ;)

I always test our auto unit by looking at a fluorescent light...

If you're in a mind to 'improve' your gloat I might be interested in the Miller wire feed rollers. I have a MM251 and it takes the rollers with the

Damn what luck. Tons of stuff.

Might have to talk to the doc and find my diopter number.

And I finally found the missing Spindle nut - big bucks.

I guess Welling Wild Men and sweet young things dance in the street!

Yeah, and they were probably asking new + 200% prices for each item! Gerry :-)} London, Canada

How'd you know?! Were you there, too?!

I think they are "23v" and "30v" marked. Ill double check. They are now buried under a load of duck decoys.

Dont ask....sigh...

And Im supposed to work out of that truck.....

Cant turn one on the lathe?????

She also had a Craftsman 17" weed eater, heavy, orange color..might have been a Sthil or Husky..but the head freewheeled, even when I jerked on the pull starter..so I figured something was busted. $20 was too rich for my blood for something like that. No gas to start it with.... THe motor end looked like a Dustbuster sorta kinda.

Gunner, that was indeed a good purchase.

Many of the Sears weed eaters are Weed Eater brand. The free wheeling was probably because it had a clutch in it. Most of the larger higher dollar units have a clutch so you can use them with a blade of some form.

London, Canada; London, England; Webster, FL - You will always find the seller who thinks their old hatchet with the eye split out is worth $10.00 because the handle is split and the head is rusty. Of course I didn't object too strongly to paying $3.00 for my Fluke 77. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

Got my homelite with most of the original line for $2.00 because it was leaking oil (two cycle) Gerry :-)} London, Canada

I wouldn't mind him doing that at all. As a matter of fact, he should feel free. Just as long as he lets me take a couple good pictures. I'm sure Cliff or someone like him would be in the market!

Howwdeee!
