Another good day today...

This blower was upside down between two other tractors. So I had to roll it
over the tractors and then roll it again over a big mud pit. I looked it over
and said to myself "sure looks good" But I hate snowblowers. So I gave the
rope a pull. It had compression. I pulled it again and to my surprise it started.
I looked around to see if anyone else seen it running. I thought maybe they would
not sell it to me that one of the yard guys would want it. No one was around.
I shut it off real quick and I seen no smoke and that also surprised me being
that it was upside down. After I got it home and pumped up the tires I checked
the oil... There was none. Guess that's why it did not smoke. But it had a full
tank of gas. So I filled the oil and started it up. It started up again on the second
pull. Still no smoke... So I drove it around checking all the gears and it worked good.
I checked the arbor and no go... The small gear box is out. So I'll just wait until
another one come into the yard so I can strip it. Ebay has one for sale at $40.00
but I think I'll wait.



 



 



 

And to top off the list I got six more items. 3 load cells. I always wanted to play with
one but they are so expensive. One old fan to add to my collection of fans. One NEW
trailer hitch. One 14" center rest for a metal lathe and oh I forgot a metal round heavy
circle that I don't know what I'm going to do with yet.

When winter hits I will make the fan look like new...
This is a before and after picture of the last one I did.
I have a few 100 feet of new old stock electric wire
to rewire them.

The old chainsaw you pulled out is the spitting image of a Homelite Super XL.

It probably is a Homelite .They came in just about every color of the rainbow as  well as being one of the most copied saw designs  ever built .
Those old farmers in my day ran them on outboard boat motor gas and could cut wood and fog for mosquitoes at the same time .Kind of like two birds with one stone . :D

Kbeitz

Yep.... Its Homelite... It matches the red one.

years ago my uncle was the 3 biggest homelite dealer in ny  he went out of biz around the time they was making the 925

Dad had two of the homelite 925's when he was logging about 35 years ago. They about put him out of business too.

Why did they almost put him out of business?  I've only ever heard of Homelites being reliable.

The decal on the side of the saw reminds me of Montgomery Wards.

Ox those saws never would run. Every other homelite we had was good but those 925's never would start and if he accidentally did get one started you better get done what you could before it ran out of gas because once they got hot they wasn't any use to even trying to get them started back. They stayed in the shop. I don't remember what all they did to them there but I do remember as a boy learning a lot of interesting new words.

We had a big 900 or maby 925 with a 36 inch bar.  I don't remember it not starting but then again I really only remember mostly using the xl.  We always thought it was the Mccullens that did not start.

my uncle told my dad to run a quart of diesel fuel in the 5gal mix of gas on the 925s to keep them from vapor locking after he did that they ran good

I did good again today. I found this Globe Gravity Feed meat slicer.
It looks real good with no missing parts. But....
It needs a current relay. That's a little box that takes place of starting capacitors.
This thing runs great of you give it a little push to get it started.
Someone a long time ago told me there was a timed relay that can take place of
starting points and or a current relay but I don't remember whats it's called.
Could anyone help me out there? I know I could put a momentary push button
to start it but I would like to fix it the right way.



 



 

Current relay under the boot...

I think what you are trying to say is potential relay, it takes the place of the centrifugal starting switch. Yes you can also use a time delay relay. Both can be found on Ebay.    Muggs

Is that swadge block in the background from cattail foundry or is it an old one?

It's an old one I got years ago from the junkyard. I kick myself for not picking up
the first one I seen at the junkyard. At the time I did not know what it was.

This is what I was talking about... So are they also called potential relays ?
And what is the solid state replacement for them?

The B&D polisher is probably a model 97.  According to a 1953 catalog the tank held one of their auto polishing products called Vitri-glaze.  It dispensed it to the polisher as you worked.
