Worth $100.00?

admin

I picked this up from a friends mom.  It was his step dads. Both thanks, the torches, tanks, hoses, chain saw, a bunch of metal spring clamps, (2) moto tools, fishing pole, assorted odds and ends,  a new in package HF torch set.  It was covered in dust, but looks untouched.  Need to clean it up to take pictures.So was it worth the $100.00?Tanks will most likely need to be hydro'ed.  Might see what they want to upgrade to larger tanks.  Looks clean enough, no cracks in the hoses, do need a few "o' rings but i have the viton "o" rings on hand.  Saw looks like it was used about 10 minutes.Plus it is another project for me to make a cart to haul them around on.  Fun stuff.Buzz.

Reply:Good deal. If you choose to upgrade the cylinder size, I'm going to guess you will need to either change the CGA fitting on teh acetylene cylinder or get an adapter. It looks like a "B" size cylinder in the picts and that uses a different size than larger cylinders on the valve. No biggie, just be aware of it when you go to make that change. Your LWS can hook you up on that if need be. TRactor supply around me used to stock the adapters, but the remodeled my store somewhat and things moved so I haven't seen them recently..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan

Reply:For some reason the last picture did not load?  It also came with a Husky chain saw I am not sure how much I will use it.  I do bet when I do use it, I will find more and more reason to use it.Buzz. Attached Images
Reply:Get rid of the pipe sealant tape on the hose at the torch handle/mixer. It is not needed as the hoses do not seal on the threads. But otherwise looks like a good deal to me!Edit: I looked closer- pic #2 and pic #5 have tape on the hose connections.Last edited by DetailerDave; 11-01-2013 at 06:06 AM.

Reply:Sweet! You'll enjoy the torch which shows near-zero use. The Hoke is a cool bonus. Nice score.
Reply:Burpee, Keep an eye out for the brown truck. It is on the way.  I will look for better quality stuff in the future. You will recycle the brass in an eco friendly manner correct?  You promise?  I dont want it to end up in any ole land fill.I have had (2) Poulan saws and they seemed to work well.  I ran the first one into the ground.  It cut a lot of stuff before it died.  I was on the 5th bar, to many chains to count  I have the sharpener for the chains so I would use it until the teeth were mostly gone.  Cutting Eucalyptus is hard on the chains.  I cut a lot of dry eucalyptus too.  So the Husky better preform better then the poulan saws.  I will mess with them this weekend.Buzz.
