Love the sound of the old 2 cycle Detroits. They weren't as good as an over-the-road engine as they were a stationary engine for pumps and generators and such.

Common theory! I was told to stay in the throttle till it sounded like it was going to grenade then shift! Old Detroit!
looks to be in decent shape, better than the first pics I saw.

Nothing like the smell of cooked gear oil. Turns my stomach every time. Should be done today.

Maybe same materials for drill or angle grinder. But haven't seem the drum like that elsewhere...yet.

We had one of these in a 40' reefer trailer to power our portable plants.

I did so enjoy starting that thing up in the mornings

Those were so efficient to build. I believe from an V2 to a V24. It was all basically the same.We had one of these in a 40' reefer trailer to power our portable plants.

They make drums in all those materials but up until now they've only been for your bench grinder, and it's hard to put a unibody car on the bench grinder. They make all those materials in discs for your Makita, whatever, and wheels for your drill. Carlisle was loaded with 'em.

I think the big difference is how the Eastwood tool supports it with a shaft through instead of a thread on end. That and the handle setup should give much better control, so your using the whole surface. Contrary to its name‘Contour’ - Looks like it’s niche would be cleaning relatively flat panels. Having the same grits on other tools would be handy for other tighter areas.
