Re: Odd Toledo Torch
Hi Dave, Glad you were able to get the burner cap to unscrew. Some of those old torches sat around for so many years and rusted up big time. I've had my share of appling oil and allowing them to sit so it would soak the threading and also a little elbow grease. A metal rod and a hammer tapping the hood loose. I had to take one to work and add a couple of tack welds to hold the top part from spinning so I could unscrew the cap. There were 28 operations they went thru to complete a full highway torch. Pressing out all the parts and crimping them together and threading and spot welding and painting. Amazing. Steve.
