    New Toy to rebuild

    I got in a 1979 Grob Band saw for a decent price so we will rebuild it and use it. It needs new tires, new motor and pulley to bring it back to vari-speed, a good clean up but otherwise is in decent shape. The blade welder works and the table feed may work.

    80-82 diff

    I have an 80-82 diff I bought in a package deal. It has 307 gears in it, side yokes and the original 2.87 gears as well. It feels ok but I did not rebuild it or do anything to it, I do not know the history. I personally don't like these diff's and will not work on it. If anyone is interested let...

    Parting out 75 L82 4 spd

    Looks like we're going to part the 75 L82 now. It needs a front clip and windshield frame. All we got to so far is to remove the clip. A lot of this will end up in Carlisle and so far this is the only listing, haven't even got pricing ready yet. The 12 bolt probably is not going to be sold, it...

    Bearing Grease tool

    I just tried this Timken bearing packer and really like it. Much better then most I see. Check it out, the design as been around before but this one is pretty well built. It cost me about $35. I can get some if you want one and can't find them.

    FREE ZEKS air dryer

    I'm replacing this one because it needs a compressor. This model cost $3600 new so if you are HVAC tech you can replace the compressor and have a pretty good unit. we used this with 40 & 50hp rotary screw compressors never had water downline. You have to pick it up in CT

    thread tool

    Not sure if you guys have seen this tool, another rebuilder told me about it a few years ago and I've used it a few times. I just used it on a rear spindle whose threads were rolled, this reformed them without cutting them and then I chased them with a 3/4-20 die. Worked real good and saved the...

    Moog Ball Joints

    I have posted on Dc as well, there has been a lot of talk on suspension kits and who has what, cost, etc, etc, etc. I have seen MOOG advertised in some kits that just couldn't be sold at those prices. So I called MOOG to see if they changed their design or number for the 63-82 vette. They did...
