mike-hr Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm restoring a 100# LG old style. It had been sitting outside in a coastal zone, and, among other things, the pockets the toggle arms ride in were crusted up pretty bad. It is fairly inaccessible to reach inside to shine it up. I cut some round stock that is a bit smaller diameter than the toggle arms and contact cemented emery cloth to it. I found a used power steering belt from my sons old Subaru to use as a drive belt. The knurling on my cordless drill chuck was enough textured to drive the belt. Worked good, fast. mh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsloan Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Really great idea. Make sure your toggle arms did not cut a groove in your ram. This can cause some misalignment. Like I said good idea I was going to recommend a carbide burr. To clean these up. Dave from diller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
