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.

Great info guys!

It makes me wonder what was on page 17.

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.

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.

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.
