Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

What do you use for a plating tank ? Where do you get your supplies ? Dave It’s a kit from Caswell, the tank is a 3 gallon bucket. It wasn’t cheap but I bought it to plate some stuff for another project. I can do them in silver or the yellow chromate like is common on bolts Sent from my iPhone usin...

New pivot pin made, same idea as the ones on eBay that cost $40 US plus $28 shipping. The pin is 1045 I have no idea what the thick washer was made out of HSS didn’t like it much only ended up making one.
