Cleaning out my shop one gear at a time

[GoldWingrGreg]

The last hurricane passed, and it's caused me to clean my shop. I have bags of old transmission parts, and each bag represents old parts from one transmission repair. So I've opened each bag, read each tag, inspected each part, and stacked them on my floor. Some make for a better "show and tell" example, and might replace the samples on my desk.

Maybe you should get to getter with Fowler [Bob] He probably can make a nice table or even a desk top out of all those gears...... :Shrug:

Yeah, they'd make a great desk top.

Man O' man Gregg,

I wish I lived closer to Florida (Massachusetts) I'd love to meet you some day... My hat's off too you my friend, I'd say you have serviced quite a few transmissions in your day..:clapping:

Your picture looks like my old shop that was loaded with heating/cooling parts from boilers/furnaces, (I retired doing heating/cooling after 34+ years of 24/7day week) Notice I bolded out Retired...

Ronnie [Captron on the other board]

No more working for me!!

I could make some neat things out of gears like that.

But it would be heavy

Anyone that can weld could do the same though.

I plan to head to a wrecking yard soon to see what they will sell me from their scrap.

I would offer to by some of your gears form you but I think the shipping cost would be to high

here are a couple tables I have made
