Today's junkyard find.

If it is a newer chain, there should be a grade stamp on it, seems like 7 is the magical number. If it is an older chain it is probably a good one, but may not have the stamps. I have never had the dot check for the grade, but they can if they want.

1/2 in chain would only be of use to guys running lowboys or hauling heavy equipment, a general freight hauler will not use it.

Has a 2/1 gear ratio. I have no idea what I'll use it for but I think it's cool.

Early angle drive for drill or brace. Possibly for buffer head.

Kbeitz · January 16, 2018, 02:33:47 AM

First drill at top left has one...

The boat trailer find and subsequent posts have been split off into a new and retitled topic and moved to the sawmill board.

Kwill · January 23, 2018, 02:36:17 PM

Hey kbeitz do you have one of these in your collection? Junk yard finds

Got any of these?

Kbeitz · January 23, 2018, 03:17:33 PM

Now that's one big cotter pin.... I don't think I will be spreading that
open with my leathermans.

The first picture I not sure I even know what it is.
My guess would be a small tubing bender. ?

Kbeitz · January 23, 2018, 03:23:02 PM

I got another truck load of stuff today. Here is a few.

First picture is a drill bit sharper ... Works great up to 1/2"

Second picture is an all brass funnel. For what I'm not sure.

Third picture is a nice chunk of 1/4" copper plate.

Kwill · January 23, 2018, 03:27:06 PM

First pic is a old tubing cutter with a reamer on it.

Some more of my finds today... buda hydraulic diesel nozzle tester.

starmac · January 23, 2018, 08:04:19 PM

When I used to play with ford diesels all the time, I always intended to get or build a pop tester, but never got around to it.

Kbeitz · January 23, 2018, 08:42:59 PM

We got a local asphalt company that was just bought out by another company
and the new company is cleaning house. It's just unbelievable the stuff they
are bringing into the junkyard. Truck parts. New brakes and drums, Hydraulic
stuff, steel, And many many new parts for equipment. I'm sure that's where this
injector tester came from.

Papa1stuff · January 24, 2018, 06:14:12 AM

Kbeitz, you just have to get a bigger truck to go to the junkyard ;D 8) 8)

I made one from a Black Hawk hydraulic hand pump from a knock out set and a high pressure gauge to set up injectors on a D4 Cat .As I recall the cracking pressure was around 1450-1500 PSI .

Kbeitz · January 25, 2018, 06:20:49 AM

Anyone know the cracking pressure for kubota engines?

dave hummell · January 25, 2018, 07:11:23 AM

Kbietz, I think you have waited on me and my buddy out to grizzly. In the winter we would go to grizzly and then over to hermance and it would fill the day then we would hit the dinner up past best rentals they had good food

I did a little bit of everything there. I so miss that place...

Kwill · January 25, 2018, 03:01:14 PM

Any idea what this was for? Found today at my moms.

starmac · January 25, 2018, 03:05:21 PM

Washing machine.

Kbeitz · January 25, 2018, 03:17:59 PM

That's a Maytag twin. It's worth more than most...

This is the single...

starmac · January 25, 2018, 03:24:05 PM

I knew an old rancher that died in the early 80's, that used an old gas maytag till the day he died. He was well off for the time, and even though electric lines ran right by his ranch house the last 20 years of his life, he would not let them hook him up.
He had a nice shop full of human or gas powered tools and equipment, I would have loved to have.

Darrel · January 25, 2018, 05:29:24 PM

My grandmother had an old maytag washer that had been "upgraded" to electric at some point before I came on the scene but the old twin gas engine was still in a corner under the house.
