Turbo Encabulator.

Helps with modal fluxes I do believe. Needs a new sperving bearing from what I can see though.  :haw:

Agreed. Sperving bearing is shot, probably because some noob installed it backwards! You'll want to replace it with a high-speed chrome reverse bearing, as sperving bearings are made of unobtanium. Literally. Die-cast unobtanium.

Thanks Mark. Guy was an old drag bike guy. It looks "clutchy" but I've never seen anything like it before.

These other guys had me thinking Uranium Pu-36 space modulator.

Well, I thought that was a lot of good fun. Of course, it's easy to have a good time as a smartass in the peanut gallery, so I'll offer something for identification this time, and I'll make it an easy one:

I have a shed full of weird old stuff, so I can do this for days...but is anyone else interested? We'll see.

Crank operated spinny-turny thing?

Valve lapper?

Did my wife put you up to this? Spinny-turny thing...You're right, of course...I just thought it would take a little longer! Got a puzzler of your own for us (me?)?
Title: Re: Anybody know what the $&@# this is??!?
Post by: pdxjim on February 15, 2020, 08:41:50 PM
Haha .... is it really a valve lapper?

Funny story, a few years ago Amazon suggested I buy one of those suction cups on a stick style lappers, and I'm like ... "do you even know me?"

My Dad has a ton of old shit valuable vintage items like that in his shop from restoring antique "hit n' miss" stationary engines and Cletrac and Caterpillar tracklayer tractors, but I've honestly never seen one of those before.  Just a wild guess.

Post by: 85RZwade on February 15, 2020, 08:55:52 PM
Well, yeah you're right. Sounds like it was an educated guess! So weird you would mention a Cletrac, as there's one returning to the soil just a few yards from the shed from which I pulled the valve lapping tool tonight.

My lovely wife says it's a branding iron (I was thinking the same thing)

gm distributor wrench?
Title: Re: Anybody know what the $&@# this is??!?
Post by: pdxjim on February 15, 2020, 09:14:45 PM
Nope and nope.

Although it would work pretty well as a branding iron if your name is "C".

It is a two-stroke related tool, tho.  Sooner or later, the right person will wander by and know what it is immediately.

How big is that sucker? Need a sense of scale, please.

I'm thinking snowmobile or watercraft, something you'd need some length to reach into. The little kink would seem to indicate going inside a hole or recess...just about ready to search the K&L catalog.

Plug spanner(wrench )
Title: Re: Anybody know what the $&@# this is??!?
Post by: pdxjim on February 19, 2020, 10:24:40 AM
Nope and nope.

Yes it's a wrench for a hard to reach nut down in a hole

Think Italian

That ones easy. It's a wrist and arm brace from 1933. The t handle looking yabbit goes into your armpit thus giving the implement the nickname of the "North Korean goose-stepper". As your arms stay stiff when walking.

I found this inside an RD350 airbox, and it looks familiar. Can't say where I've seen it before.

That's an impeller for a 350LC for scale. Anybody recognize the little devil?
