Reply:More details, particularly pictures, would help. Is this a cutting torch, and is the nut what you need? Also, are you sure the nut 5/8-24 (BTW, the title says 5/6-24)?I have an 18-3 torch handle that takes a #73 cutting head, but I believe its tip nut thread is much larger. The cutting attachment looks like this:

I would call a good welding supply shop and talk to them, if I had the correct brand and size. Or try calling Harris.Last edited by Oldiron2; 1 Week Ago at 04:38 AM.

Reply:https://regulatortorchrepair.com/Have the cutting attachment in hand or have the Sears part number for the attachment when you call.
Reply:its a old 1970s craftsman torch,


there was a guy who posted a question bout same torch 2 yrs ago or so, as you see fine thread, ATT  american torch tip and few others dont have problems getting OEM craftsman or Harris style tips for it,

thats the style i need, but i will try calling harris  and emailed https://sjsmith.com/products/oxy-fue...gas-torch/8073  as well
Reply:not gonna believe this , these guys were near worthless, i went down in person, i live in SC close to GA were they are, as it wasnt out of the way, when i had some buisness in GA, they never even heard or seen a torch like this even tho it was around for many years, i been welding for 30 yrs, in my 40s now, i knew more than they did.
Reply:If you are using Harris 6290 tips, the Harris tip nut part # is 9002560.

Reply:Dockson also sold torches to Sears back in the day. They had a 4 hole with center hole as well. I think Sears eventually settled on Harris. The torch in the pic is not a Harris. Likely obsolete. Check your Goss catalog.Thermal Arc 320SP ( Lorch )Cobra PythonsThermal Arc 300 AC/DC  ( Sanrex )ESAB 301i AC/DC  ( Lorch )Thermal Arc 161STL  ( WTL )Thermal Arc 190S  ( Sanrex )Cut Master 82, 42.

If I wanted an OEM part rather than making one myself, (as I said above) I'd call a good welding supplier or the Harris company itself, which still seems to be the same outfit:https://www.harrisproductsgroup.com/...t/Torches.aspxI had a friend who owned a family-run shop in town, but he died a good while ago and his family finally sold out to a chain; it no longer has the "barbershop/hardware store hangout" qualities, with the old-fashioned personal service it did then. Since then I have occasionally dealt with Barnes welding supply in Fresno, CA and got decent service there:https://www.barnesweldingsupply.com/    Phone:   1 (800) 404-9353.
Reply:Might be an AIRCO / Concoa torch:https://www.mgtweldingsupply.com/pdf...OKICAT07-1.pdfMaybe the torch has mismatched parts?Last edited by Denis G; 1 Week Ago at 10:37 AM.
Reply:most likely it uses airco tips, or concoa now,  wasnt used since 1994  my dad in that yr, trued a local LWS which were useless, torch was 20 yrs old then, said they couldnt get tips for it,i know now not harris tips but airco. torch never had mis matched parts.
