Well this is crazy

 

Miguel talked me out of it.

Someone get the rear locking axle. It's been sitting there for two days, and it's been raining so I doubt many people have seen it. Complete axle with locking pumpkin is $275 plus a $30 core charge. You can probably get $1,000 for that whole setup.

wtf is wrong with you

Thanks but already have an e-locker. You go get it and flip it on fleabay

 

Lol wut? I never had bag of milk

 

Yeah, that’s what I said about my three crates of Tacoma and 4Runner parts.

 

Sounds like you have a hoarding problem.


Or bad marketing


Or bad work ethic

 

Or all 3

 

I dunno the 80s that won Dakar twice went kinda speedy haha.

I need to do a tune up on my cruiser soon, the Z is so close to being done then it can get the attention it probably needs now.

 

Bought a new cutter, cause the damn fuel hoses on the Z's injector rail are harder than diamonds from age and oil exposure.

We'll see how it holds up, gotta be better than the single edge razor I was trying to hold in my fingers.... And almost slicing myself with

 

That's pretty cool... the icicles.

On BTW, I see rust.

 

I used to sell a lot of parts on eBay, Craigslist, TW, etc. before I got into horn restoration. After that took off I didn’t have time to keep selling off Truck parts.

 

My original wheels. Gave them to my buddies's dad. He had steelies on his Sequoia. Unfortunately he passed away a couple yrs ago.

 

Finally finished my adpater/backplate the other day & got my Yuasa magnetic chuck mounted. Not common to see mag chucks used on lathes. It will allow me to hold & machine very thin parts.

Cleaned up pretty well with only minor voids. Still need to clean up the OD though & I'll work on the face some more. The lines are brass.

 

So here's my question, if the magnet turns off you end up with a projectile unless the tailstock holds it ya?

Was that you recording?

 

Correct, kind of. The pinion turns the magnet on & off (gradually), it's not electrically controlled like the mag chucks on some big surface grinders so no worry of the mag turning off if it looses power. Fine pole is better for thin parts which is what I wanted one for. Coarse pole is better at holding thicker parts (brass or babbit lines spaced further apart). Again not very common for lathe use. Still have to take caution not to take too heavy of a cut & send a part flying

 

@zero4

 

Yeah, I totally work at a car wash.
