home made tools and equipment...

Me too !! I love it ! 1945 or 46' Logan 200. If it's dark blue I've totally rebuilt that part of it. The apron was totally torn apart, new bushings installed and hand reamed to fit, I even drilled holes where the bushings are and installed those small flush fit grease nipples. A few little mods here and there.

It's all change gears with the slowest feed rate of .0046 but after finding some other gears that fit I can get it down to .0018 (gun barrels).

One really cool thing is on the apron is a super rare auto feed kick off. This was an option that you bought and had to install yourself. Downside is I don't have the piece that looks like a starfish that mounts to the bed, upside is I have the all of the apron side and the most complex part. How rare ? Only seen another one in the old catalog and all the guys on the logan forum had no idea what it was but just one gent and he only knew because he owned just the starfish piece. And of course he wanted to buy mine, I wanted to buy his and neither one of us would part with our halves. So between him and myself it's the only pieces I know of and the only way to make a complete set. Never found any pieces for either side and nether has he...

 

Used an engine hoist and two pairs of DIY wooden “towers” made from 2”x 4”s and a 4” x 4” vertical centre piece to slowly raise my OT project onto a rotisserie in my driveway. To get it onto the rotisserie, had to raise the body (was an IH Traveler) between 3’-4’ off the ground. My neighbour was impressed watching it all unfold, then wheeled it into my garage. Miracle it all went without a hitch.
