basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Cleaned out the parts shed today from a big lot I car parts lot I bought, and have a few items I could use some help with. Fun day. Look forward to hearing what you think it is, or what it goes to. Have a good hunch on a lot of them, but I know the real experts are out there.Thanks in advance Edited December 17, 2017 by basscaster (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinneyhill Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If you want us to identify the starter you might need to show us the model number stamped into the label on it. Grease gun. Aftermarket. Cartridge or bulk grease? Steering box: need less hand and more steering box! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 thank you! One grease gun was stamped "Wards", patent applied in 1940. I took the pics very quickly, will get some better ones for sure. Was a bit tired, as we moved over 2,000 pounds today, literally. Still another 4,000 pounds to go....

Curti Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 There is a what is it forum below. One pix per post works best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 What's that thing in the third pic? Slide hammer puller? When I first glanced at it I thought it was a hone, brake cylinder hone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Mike, looked like some kind of very large dent puller at first, the middle piece is heavy steel and slides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digger914 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looks like the stuff I got out of my shed. I recognized everything and my favorite picture was pistons and railroad spikes. Tire pumps with water pump was a real close second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yes, pistons are cool, going to hang those on the wall. Spikes too, big box in the back of the shed, along with some old ax heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike6024 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I would not hesitate to toss a lot of that merchandise into the scrap metal recycle just to make my life simpler. Of course I'm not talking about the starter and the water pump. Pipe wrenches you may be able to sell for $1 to $2 if you're lucky. Railroad spikes I have no idea; they could be worth something for all I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I tossed quote a bit. Probably going to keep only a few of the tools. Spikes are one of those things I always see at antique shops, but I dont want to pay $5 each for. So I will hang onto a few of those. But I agree, most is scrapped. The scrapper weighed 1800 pounds today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 My guess for the 3rd picture with the slide hammer might be used for pulling the pilot bushing in the crankshaft for manual transmission cars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Pet feeder? Battery maintainer. Delco guys might like that. Looks to be a parking brake lever with a rod. Tranny cooler looks to be NIB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFitz Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) The grease gun is just like a Sears Craftsman I've had for about 40 years - handed down from my Father. Yours is missing the end fitting that latches onto grease fittings (replacements can be bought ). The one I have has the original swivel end on it that when you pull back a spring-loaded inner half of the fitting the outer half can turn sideways up to 90 degrees. Picture nineteen is a battery service tote. Use to see them in gas stations back when they were "service stations" and had attendants that would also check all under the hood while you were getting gas. It held fresh (hopefully) battery water and the rubber bulb syringe to put water in the cells that's still in yours, terminal cleaning tools, hydrometer (still in it), and a cell testing amp gauge - everything needed to check over and service the battery in the car.

lump Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I remember Ruglyde very well, from 40 years ago when I was a young tire mounting kid at a local Goodyear store. It is used to lubricate the beads of stiff tires to make them easier to mount without tearing, and for tires which must be mounted by hand. That thing in the cardboard box with the fins and tubes is an auxiliary transmission cooler. VERY useful if you want to use a vehicle for towing or hauling heavy loads uphill; especially if that vehicle was not factroy-equipped with a "trailering package." Hot rodders like them too. I would love to buy that little tool box labeled "Plomb." I have a few scattered tools of that brand lying around. It would be interesting to see better photos of that screw jack too. I wish I were there to help you dig all that stuff out. I LOVE treasure hunting through old piles of "stuff." Not sure why, but I love it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basscaster Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 it has been a lot of fun. Lots of amazing finds. Not sure why either, but I love it too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Your pics look all to familiar to me. ?♀️ At least you enjoy digging through it all. I personally can’t wait to sell the last garage and will be completely happy if I never see an old part or tool that I have to identify for the rest of my life. OTOH, I’m sure glad there are guys still out there that do know about this stuff because they have been a huge help to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Wolfe Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 The tool in the third picture is for pulling bearing races out. They make internal and external pullers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
