Hi Team,
I thought these charts from a One Safe Source would be helpful to determine the thread pitch, length, diameter, etc. for restoring our machines.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Ha, that's funny (but also useful). I made up a spreadsheet with the same info as I found I was buying all sizes when working on the 5U and wanted to know what was what. Your chart is much better than mine though Ed! : )

Hi Team,
Page 17 has Self Locking Course Thread Bolts that have a nylon fused into a section of the thread to resist loosening.
Hence the title Standard Fasteners.
There is a page for Fine threaded ones as well.

Trying to keep postings to a low number and more essential topics or I may run out of space allowance too soon.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

Hi Eddie,
When we get the new area created in the members section, we will have space to store really useful documents such as these.

Eddie, don't worry about running out of space on the new site. Post away, and if you run into any issues, let us know.

this is the info that is getting harder to find. i hope eddie plans to donate copies of his tech data to acmoc so it can be archived for future reference. when the man himself is no longer with us.
sadly a lot of this knowledge dies out with the old fellas that have it. and often the families dont know what it is or what its value is to the community unless they have that incurable disease oldmachineryitis too.

I have seen this first hand with a member of my old machinery club his nephews had no idea what uncle Brian had in the shed parts had been put in the shed for safekeeping and they had no idea what belonged to what.

"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"

instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality

You're are 100% spot on. It's a shame, but less and less younger people are interested in mechanics or keeping the old iron machines alive. I'm 44 years young and I only know a hand full of people that would even be remotely interested in these ole crawlers.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
