Thank you Mike for replying to me, your videos and instructions are VERY informative, and details. Your tool that you make are using top notch material, and are made with passion and quality, I was thinking of ordering from OCP or from ebay, but I'm glad I reached out to you. Definitely SUBSCRIBE to your channel and will watch all your videos!!!

Great, helpful video, thank you for posting.

You’re welcome!

I resurrected a 1960 sears wood lathe and powered it with a 3 hp DC motor, Because I included the original pulleys I can gear it down and turn at any speed with that DC variable motor with plenty of power, So I bought some different chucks and have successfully turned a number of metal projects, Drilling my mini cannon bore perfectly Centered all the way down was Very satisfying.

[@MikeFreda]

That’s cool. Some old equipment is made very well and can outlast a lot of the new modern mass produced tools.

[@stclairstclair]

Mike Freda, The bearings were American/Metric, American for the shaft with a metric outside diameter, A bearing shop quoted me 50 bucks per bearing, I found new ones on eBay for 12 bucks!

Great presentation Bravo Bravo 👏

[@davidstreetman2389]

I'm going to try to make my own next week.

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks, I hope it works out for you! Cheers.

We just used a regular BASTURD FILE . It fits snug into the check valve, you only need pliers to help lossen it. Gets it right out with no damage.

[@MikeFreda]

I did that for a while with a large a larger screw driver ground down to fit perfectly. Then one day I wrecked a very early 220B. Then I figured out how to make this tool. Never had a issue since. Your mileage may vary but I won’t be doing that again. Have a look on the Coleman Collectors Forum on how I fixed that 220B. That was a feat in itself.

[@matrixist]

The internet has exposed how bog a problem OCD is.... Just a 1/2 shade bit with the tip ground off works perfectly.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Nice job brother!

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks!

[@fredjacobs9654]

Nice! Thanks!

[@justinpatrick3761]

Mike, just wondering if you still make the removal tool for fellow collectors?

[@MikeFreda]

Yes. Please PM me or follow the link in the description. Cheers.

[@godwinjames17]

nice video i have a qustuin why didn't you use a pice of all thread instead of a bolt that way you would not have to thread it

[@MikeFreda]

Thanks for commenting. A full length of 1/4” ready rod would only work for the smaller / newer check valve. Those treads are 8x32. The larger / older check valve uses 1/4”x 32tpi and that thread does not get cut very deep when using that die. 1/4” ready rod (aka all thread) normally has 20TPI which is a course/deeper thread. It basically won’t work. You need to start with a solid piece of 1/4” rod on the check valve side of the rod. I hope that makes sense? Cheers.

Thankyou

You’re welcome, cheers.

[@guyserman5623]

Hi Mike, what do you charge for the tool? Guy

[@MikeFreda]

Please PM me and I can give you all the details. Thanks.

[@steffanoswald7917]

$75.00 for the die EXPEN$IVE!!! old Coleman parts has removal tools for around $50.00. I suppose if you’ve got fancy tools and time this would be a fun project. Great information and you make good videos. Thanks

[@MikeFreda]

Yea, it is. You can find less expensive ones on E-Bay. I got a premium one knowing I was going to make more for some fellow coleman enthusiasts. Forsure, if you only need one and you dont have tools, just purchase one. Thanks for commenting, cheers.

[@coletaylor4045]

Got any for sale at the moment??

Yes. Please send me a message. Contact info in the About section on my homepage.

Do you sell them?

Yes, I do make small batches of them if there is enough interest. Please feel free to PM me. Cheers.

How much do you sell them for

[@michaelthomas8376]

Hi, where can I purchase the steel pipe and what size is it?

[@MikeFreda]

The DOM, it’s explained in both videos. It’s 5/8” OD, 120wall Drawn Over Mandrel. Any metal supply store (like Metal Super Market) sells it. It’s a very common stock. Home Depot or Lowe’s does not sell it.

[@daleburrell6273]

...the material is really not "pipe": it's "thick walled tubing".

[@scottperson9487]

Does anyone know the thread on the small stove check valve?

[@MikeFreda]

How old is the stove? You can also tell by just pulling out the stem. Either it’s a 1/4” or No.8 thread size.

You should make them and sell them on eBay

They are available on my website. eBay got a little complicated for me.

KZbin won't let me post the link to the 1/4-32 hex die on Ebay-(!) I'm NOT an Ebay seller- I am ONLY trying to do a favor for the people who are trying to make their OWN check valve extractor-(!)

might have too there hard to find

[@MikeFreda]

Not too hard to find. There are several people in North America that make then. You can find them online. Google or check on the Coleman Forum or Coleman Facebook group. However, if you are handy, just make one. The cost will work out the same.
