Default Old Air Tools

I picked up several old air tools from my deceased Dad's shed a while back, and now that I have a compressor in my garage, I'm really digging working with air tools vs. electric.

These have been sitting around for a looong time though, and some of them don't work. Probably seized up, I'd guess.

Anyone got any quick tips for getting them back in working order?

Oil, They will have "oil points" and put extra oil in small amounts in the air inlet pipe. move them around and reoil. Alot of the older tools had replaceable o-rings. I would look for information on the tools on the internet for recommeneded tool service .

Not motor oil, though.

Get pneumatic tool oil. It's much thinner machine oil. You might even try a squirt or two of WD-40, just to get them freed up. It's the water in the air hose that gets in them and causes them to seize up. You should put three drops of oil in the tool's air inlet before you hook up the air to them every time you use them. Either that or put an automatic oiler and water trap filter in-line downstream from the compressor. Get them at Harbor Freight pretty inexpensively.

I would do what was said in the other two posts,squirt some wd-40 or pb blaster or kroil in there let it sit awhile,then see it the if male ends of the wrenches move,by hand. Then if they do put some air tool oil in and hook it up and give it a whirl! I have taken mine apart before its not as hard as it looks,they'll prob need new o-rings and seals. Check around online sure you can find drawings of them apart and how they come apart. Hope this helps you some ,Good luck on your air tools!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
