    Picked up some goodies

    Picked up an old Wisconsin engine for $5.00, it's over square with a piston diameter of 3" and a bore of 3 1/4", round fuel tank used late 40's to late 50's. The oil on top is from the air cleaner when I tipped the engine to load it into my truck.

    Older Magna Manufacturing Shop Smith multi tool for $10.00, 12" table saw for $10.00

    The Walker bumper jack $20.00, just the other day I says to myself wished I still had my pneumatic bumper jack as that 46RE transmission hanging off the chain block is a fresh rebuild that is going into a 96 Dakota.

    The Walker came at the right time




    Then I have the transmission from our 96 GMC to rebuild.


    When I insulated and panelled the inside of the shop installed the over head rail which is used almost daily.

    Nice score on the tools...I like how they stamped the piston and bore size right on the ID plate...

    From the serial number the engine was made in January of 1953 the connecting rod uses replaceable inserts and the crankshaft uses Timken taper bearings on each side also has an oil pump.

    Engine is not old enough to have used platinum contact points in the magneto.

    I've decided to find a home for the Shop Smith wood lathe, will gift it to the first person who has room for it,
