[AT] Hyd. Cylinder Rebuild-Thread restoring

[HaliganBar at aol.com]

I have one of those Sears rethreading sets. It has the most popular SAE and 
metric thread chases. It also has the thread files..they are square and have 8 
different thread pitches on each one. One is SAE and one is metric. 
Interestingly enough one of the files is marked "Mac tools"..I'm guessing one company 
makes them for several tool manufacturers.

 Says No. 1 or No. 2 on the side of it.  The brand is Nu-thred, and they
 come from Jaw Manufacturing.  I just picked up a pair of them over
 Christmas as part of a rethreading kit that I found in a pawn shop.  I
 never put the set away.  When I'm restoring, I run the dies on every
 stud and bolt on the whole tractor.  I used to use regular taps and dies
 for this work, but I really like the way the rethreading dies work much
 better.  They're all sized for regular wrenches.  I THINK Sears still
 has the sets available. >>
