I found a hand winch, 12" of 2" sq bar stock and this neat mandrel.
At first I was thinking that was factory made but now I'm not so sure.
If you look real close the body look like part of an old car/truck starter.
You can see the screws that would hold the winding in. But the end
covers are both matching covers. Some one built a chuck out of an
old gear. The work that was put into the chuck is an extreme amount
of effort so maybe someone did make the whole thing. I thought this
would make a good jackshaft for something and I'm always looking
for things to build.

Cool find.  I have a feeling as you post more finds, there will be a lot of junk yard envy growing! :D

When I want to spin down my drill press chuck, I give a quick flip on the power switch and grab the chuck.  Don't think I'd want to try that on your new chuck! :o

when I was doing scrap  I saw a lot of cool stuff/junk but the yard guy was an   and would not let me take anything even offered to buy some of it at double the junk price someone junked a jd 350 dozer with great tracks and sprockets and I watched them take a shear and cut it to pieces  :'( :'( :( >:(

Today's junkyard find.... 1/10/2017


rochester automatic lubricator. All Brass.
Sure needs cleaned up. I was in the right spot
at the right time. As I was looking around the
truck with the junk came in and was unloading.
It;s 19" tall at the highest point. I will post
more pictures when I get it all shined up.
48.24 lbs of brass.

I have never seen one like that . Most steam traction and older gas tractors ran Madison Kip . If you ever get the chance take the cover off a Madison Kip . There is a pump with 2 plungers per port and a eccentric cam to work each port .
A bunch of chainsaws a BT6870 processer , TC 5 International track skidder and not near enough time

Not sure myself. It has two pistons but 4 lines.
Maybe two of the line are returns ?

Last Sat.


  

 
4' rod and tractor chains.
Last spring I got a 6" craftsman joiner.


 

  In the summer a 10" craftsman T saw


 

This summer I man walk up to me at the dump and said I give up and handed me the saw.


 


This fall someone threw it away.  :D :D :D :D
All I did is put gas in it and blew off the yard,  Ann came out and asked where did I get that?   At the dump!!! :D :D :D


 

The dump can be fun Kbeitz.  8) 8)

I just have to post a responce here so that when I am in a hurry and only go to the reponces to threads I have posted in page, I will be able to have this thread come up for me to see the new pictures so I can be jealous.

I know this is not the same but it was made with things I found in the junk pile.

I took this old back massuager


 

and made this honey extractor.  I had everything laying around but the six bucks I spent for paint.


 
Just finished it today.

I love seeing what you guys find and also what you do with it.  It gives me ideals to steal.
Cheers

Ps I just replaced the jointer motor on the yardsale jointer that is in the back ground with a treadmill motor.

Today's find... 1/17/17

I got a whole bucket of these bits. They all have the tapered ends.
I'm lathing down the ends to 3/4" and sharpening them up.
The biggest in the picture is 2-1/8" od.

basement. Nothing like making chips.

I don't know what kind of metal the bits are made of but i had another
long one that I needed to cut about an inch off the tapered end.
My cutting wheel was near it end and a little short. I cut all but about
1/8" off and took the bit and smacked it on my anvil to finish breaking
the small chunk off and the bit broke in to 3 chunks and fell on the floor.
Now that's what you call hardened steel. Maybe a little to hard. Oh well
easy come easy go. I still got more to do.

I got this Grumman stepvan out of a JY. Had 29K miles on it. took me about 20 minutes to get it running, steering column was locked up and would not shift. Loosened the mounting bolts so I could turn the entire column to make it go in gear and drove it out of the JY. 6.2 diesel, 400 auto. Put all new brake parts on it including lines just to be safe. runs and drives A1!.

Today's find.... 1/21/17

It took me awhile to find out what it was . It's the bottom half of a Yankee
vise. I found and bought the top part off E-bay...
After I get it and mount it I will post another picture.
