I was stunned how awesome that stuff works and how non-toxic it is. I first used it restoring an old 1953 cast iron saw, even parts that had rough cast surfaces came out clean. Soak overnight, rinse and brush with a plastic bristle brush under warm water, done! Yet will not harm paint, plastic, rubber, or metal, just the rust.
 
Ernst,

Hmm. Where did you find the 936 parts photo? I've never seen that before.

The countershaft pulley appears to show 6 steps. The spindle pulley 5.
 
robert,
i will try to find the thread again where i saw and "stole" this pictures.
the pulley nr. 6 is not a pulley. it is a clutch. it is a important part of the compound drive. i will do a longer write up about the compound drive. it is basically a early form of a backgear drive. it reduces the spindle speed by sliding the clutch. very interesting concept with limited capacity. see the picture from the 1936 atlas catalog.
robert, should i start a new thread or keep everything in this one.
and another question. what grease to you use for the roller bearing in the countershaft. i am thinking about automotive wheel bearing grease.

Ernst,

Just continue with this thread.

Wheel bearing grease will be fine.

FWIW, your post in the old thread brought it back to the top. It is quite strange that I don't recall seeing those photos last year.
 
paul,
today the postman brought me the catalog no 25. it says 1936-1937. my 936 is documented just like it stands on my workbench. so this seems to be the earliest catalog that shows it in this version.
i bought the catalog on ebay. i dont think i would violate any copy right laws when i would pdf it and publish it. b u t..... i dont know how. i have a scanner and i did some pdf before. but only single ones. dont know how to put all 50 sides plus title and backpage in one pdf. maybe i should go to a professional shop to do that. or can you help me with that. would like to see this catalog published here, on the atlas yahoo and also on vintage machinery. those sides were helpful in the past and i found a lot of support and help there. more than happy to pay back.
the title of the catalog was made by a famous artist: Arthur C. Radebaugh

well i tried it, it is great, what a idiot i was.
i am reading about it for years on different forums and never believed it. maybe it was cause you could buy it at harburg freight, not the best shop for quality products.
i will buy some more gallons for sure. thanks again for forcing me to try it out.

i finally managed to load up some pictures of the lathe on my website. hope it is allowed to post the link.
