Little Giant Spare parts List.

[shane justice]

To all who run A Little Giant of any size:

I am a fairly practical guy. When I purchased something new, I always lay-in some extras that go with the new tool.

If its a saw, I buy some extra blade.
If its something that requires belt, I add a half dozen extras.

And so on...

Somehow in this day and age of high speed everything, the styles and models change semmingly by the minute.

The vaccum cleaner we bought two years ago is a great example, because the compnay does not even make filters for it anymore. So we are stuck with banging out the crud from our last original or tossing the old and buying again.

Which brings me to my point.

What parts for a Little Giant would be good to have on hand in case of a break down.

I would love to be able to just buy two of everything on the machine, but money plays a factor in everything I do these days. And the shop budget is limted to my half of the paper route Wedny and I took on for excercise and a bit of extra money at the end of each month.

This may be a good thread for future reference for those who have yet to own their own hammer.

Aloha Shane!
Long time no talk... Hope all is well...

I asked Sid this exact same question...

What you get and when you really should get it, depends on the current condition of your hammer...

Mine was recently rebuilt by Russell Cashion... so really all that Sid would recommend that I have on hand is a spare spring....

I was sort of surprised as mine was built in 1929.... but the initial "overbuilt" nature of these tools and the fact that Russell is one of the "experts" at rebuilding these tools... all factored in to Sid's advice.

I guess I could stock up (and I will since I'm such a tool hog) on extra parts that may go next.... but the first thing to have on hand is that extra spring...

Give Sid a call and talk about your hammer's current condition... I'll bet he'll give you some great advice and it may be different ...

I'm planning to call him about the next level of spare parts I should or could have on hand.... There's quite a list of spare parts, depending on the size and type of hammer you have on Sid's site...

I wanna have a list to go down and make sure I have on hand... from most likely to need to least likely to need (but better to get it now cause when and if you need it - it may not be available) Then its all a timing and financial thing for me....
Hope that helps a "Little"....

Take Care Buddy....
