Tobin Arp TA-14
 

City: Templeton

State: Ca

Price: In ad

I am ready to move forward with selling my Line Bore Machine, fixtures, and Tools. Although the TA-14 is a universal machine it is set up exclusively to Line Bore Model A and B blocks for insert bearings.. I have decided that taking individual pictures and doing a written synopsis is to labor intensive. I would prefer a one-on-one discussion, send a few pictures, and to show the equipment in person. This will wash out those who are not serious.

My basic inventory includes:
TA-14 Line Bore machine with original set up fixtures and Model A block alignment tool.
Professionally made fixtures and tooling to set up for a Model A and B Line Bore process, includes Bridgeport right angle head & new way cutter for a BP milling machine to cut the thrust washers, Brown & Sharpe tri-mic, custom ground false cam for indexing & setup, special micrometers to align the block on the TA14, the setup fixtures were made for me by a tool and die maker.
Kwikway LBM fixtures and bar, 85% complete ford setup. Used before I bought the TA14.
Inventory of 20 disassembled & cleaned blocks, & new & used parts inventory, valve train parts, crankshafts, covers, heads, etc to assemble several complete engines.
Model a block size hot tank, 110v works well to degrease parts.

The equipment above is offered as one package.
I have set a price of $6500

Please send a PM with your contact info.
