No, It is a craftsman brand and to pump it up, you push the handle up and down to pump it up, so if think it would be left to loosen it. Thanks but any ideas on removing it?

So a few months ago I bought a Craftsman blowtorch probably from 50-60 years ago and I tried to restore it, but the part that you unscrew to put the fuel I've never been able to get off. Here's some pictures, any ideas? The first pictures is before the tank was cleaned up, then cleaned tank...

Yes The metal strain relief works fine. Don't know what I'm going to do about the timer though. Here you can see how it works, it screws on the back panel and two screws along with a metal piece hold down the cord

Well... Sorry for the delay, I had phone trouble and the pictures were on my phone. Ok I never got a belt, but I have 3 HUGE o- rings that serve as the belt , and they're tight enough that they don't slap the belt cover!!!! About the timer: I did get it to work, but there's a major problem: it...

Well... Almost done With help I hauled out this ANCIENT (and wet) analog copying machine out of a shed in the yard just for its cord... A look on it, and it pulled 15!!!! amps of current (a lot) and ,after frustration got it out, and you can see how HUGE it is compared to the old one and the...

Hmm... Maybe I could grab that... Only 2000 miles from here or so...

Amazing! I love the stainless oven , make that two, so amazing!

@ hippiedoll Thank you, and I should have it running by Tuesday (I think)

@chestermikeuk I should do that with the one from my maytag TT haha

OMG!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! I was looking for a 'dryer timer motor' on eBay and I asw one very similar to the one on my dryer , so I searched dryer timer motor M001 and I looked at the pictures and it was the SAME ONE!!!!! Will be ordering it today, for only $18! You will see on the pictures that I...

Who made the worst dryer? I DIDNT!!!!!!! *LOL*

Seen stuff like this There's these little forgers with a brass plate which vibrates ultrasonicaly, creating a mist that looks like dry ice. They are on Amazon or ebay

Thank you all For your nice comments, I really hope to get one because the dryer is all in pieces, and it would be nice to have it running, which I could do, maybe if I wanted to take it apart and put it together ... AGAIN (which is not very difficult)

@arbilab Everything. car oil, Jet engine oil. Kerosene (jet fuel), alcohol, methyl ethyl keytone, hydraulic oil acetone, etc. you get the point : a very dangerous flammable mix

Scary. As combo52 said about the outlet burning up in a 110 volt dryer, like my maytag portable! The person who had it before me replaced a section of the cord with 18 gauge (thin), and it gets very warm while running, and the joint gets quite hot, so I'm probably just going to replace the...
