Great deal on abrasive discs I found on fleabay

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share this with the crowd here. I know there's a lot of you out there that prefer these for removing light rust and paint from metal or even other surfaces.

 

This is a 5 pack and they work out to $6 each. Free freight.

Lots of reviews online say they are the cat's meow of these strip discs.

I'll share my findings with you.

@Digger 66 I'll be sure to have my honey get pics for you.

 

First thing we're using the discs for is the trailer repaint.

Didn't spend much time on it tonight but the initial impression is great!

Trying these out this evening on the tongue of the trailer that I'm rebuilding and modifying.

 

I'm extremely impressed!!

 

These disks FAR exceed the capabilities of a good quality wire brush on an angle grinder.

 

The wear quality seems to be very good.

 

The pictures below are taken only a few minutes apart.

 

If you've never tried these the one thing I can tell you is that they will remove metal!

What I mean is, a wire brush does not seem to remove any metal. If there is a small flange like a worn edge or a little lip or anything, these discs will remove it.

That's great if you want to flatten out the metal because it is actually worn and your trying to fix it. Not so awesome if you're trying to keep something Sharp.

I have been using these for quite a while (not same brand). Work well for me. Faster than sandblasting on flat surfaces.

      So my morning started with a call from a friend of mine asking me if I was interested in WH parts. My friend was a small engine mechanic for many years and I bring him all my small engine repair work. I have said many times I am not a good mechanic.  He has been retired for many years. So he tells me he sold a WH tractor to a man close to 20 yrs ago and the guy called him so see if he was interested in any parts. My friend said no as he dosnt do much work any more as his health is declining. He told the man I might be interested and would it be ok if I called him. That was all the conversation they had. He gave me the number and I called him asking what parts he had and what he wanted for them. Turns out it's the whole tractor my friend sold him close to 20 yrs ago. He told me that he took it to a repair shop and dosnt want to put the money into repairing it he is going to buy new. He told me the repair shop told him needed a starter as the bendix was sticking and something wrong with the carb but he put a brand new seat on it last year. I tell him I am a WH lover and have no need for a tractor but I have 3 WH's in my garage. Then I ask .... " how much are you looking to get for it ?". He tells me I can have it for FREE if I pick it up from the repair shop. He would call the shop and tell them I'm coming to get it. I jump in my truck and race over to get it. While driving there I called my friend. Turns out my friend got the tractor with a broken piston rod. The engine he rebuilt 30 yrs ago. New everything. I said great if it was 20 yrs ago but I wonder what kind of shape it's in now. Well here are the photos. He kept it in great shape. 310-8 with a 48 inch deck that's as solid as it was when new. I took it over to my buddies house who did all the work many years ago. We tinkered with it a few minutes. Turns out the throttle plate had fallen off inside the carb. The plate was just laying in there. One screw was still attached to the stem the other missing. Wondering what kind of damage that tiny brass screw can cause if it got sucked into the engine. Plan is to rebuild the carb and he was going to see if he could find a screw and reattach the plate. Anyone ever come across this issue ever ? My buddy says he never seen that happen before. Then I will either get a new starter or maybe repair the one in there.  Has anyone ever see a throttle plate fall off in a carb before ? What do you think happened to the screw? I can't read the ID tag on the tractor. I don't want to buy a Chinese carb either. Might be looking to replace the whole carb. Suggestions??? Comments??

      Made the trip out to Tractor Supply Store today to pick up some paint. Walked around the store and found they had these seats on " clearance" .... $30.00... So I grabbed one. Can not pass up a new seat for that price. Think I will put it on the Lambert. just thought I would pass it on. Not sure if all stores are getting rid of them or not.
