Re: Needing head gasket wisdom
I had multiple head gasket failures. Only when I got out the micrometers did I find a liner that was low. Turns out the block was cracked in 5 places and junk. My build thread has pictures in the first couple pages where the cracks were. Use the manual and measure very carefully. Make sure everythin...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
I received your PM Tim. Thank you and I responded back. I picked up another 4x8 sheet of 16 GA and plasma cut it into 4 rows. And also bought 20 feet of strap for the handles today. I had to special order in more wider strap for the supports. It's an odd size nobody stocks around here. Not even in S...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
Bennyt I see you asked about them on Feb 11. I thought you might have been following the thread and would have seen the request for addresses and items wanted in a PM message request. I figured some might have changed their minds. No biggie. I am picking up a new sheet of 16 GA today. I will be maki...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
Thanks Jbloam and B Town... Well the wife and I went for a walk down to the river and back. First free time in while. I was cleaning up around my machine and I spotted a problem. When I was eye level with the battery box, the tool tray handle looked like it was to high. I grabbed a ruler and my hear...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
PM's are sent. :) For the guys that have a tool tray on the way. Here is an idea that will preserve the paint. Go to the hardware store and buy a roll of tool box drawer liner. Get the open woven plastic that you can see through. Cut to fit in the tool tray. It will keep rattles down. Keep tools fro...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
Well why we are all waiting on boxes, I thought I would post a picture of a really neat very old mandrel press I used to make the straps. This tool is 109 years old. An Atlas and incredibly strong. It helped me make the straps with very little radius in the bends just like the original JD straps. I ...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
I just got an email from Staples saying by box order is being delayed. I ordered a 20 pack of boxes to ship all the tool trays out. Probably a direct result of the panic from the corona virus going around. They mention it in the email. We noticed all the stores are sold out on toilet paper. My Seatt...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
Well I survived Seattle doing a white knuckle tow home. While being my home town, I don't miss it at all. Nobody tailgates here. They are crazy there. Seriously.... OK, so I finished all the wood parts today. They get black brush on paint tomorrow after glue dries and stainless flat head screws get ...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
They look great Al. Your craftsmanship is superb. Thank's.. I know where the flaws are. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just kidding. I try to make good stuff. I used NAPA chassis black so later if someone wants to recoat, a quick scuff and repaint will make them last a good long time. And that paint can be ea...

Re: Looking for 450 tool tray pictures or measurements
Well I am running on a generator right now. I was on the phone with Lavoy when the power went out. Sorry Lavoy... It's from a wind storm. I was able to get 8 tool trays painted yesterday evening. Finally, after some issues with the spot welder and a couple other minor things. https://img.photobucket...
