    Couldn't take this to the scrap yard.

    I assume so. the compressor was seized but I imagine could have been rebuilt. Not sure if the motor works. Its 3 phase so I couldn't even run it unless I put a vfd on it.

    Couldn't take this to the scrap yard.

    It was literally 2 late nights after work. No paint. Cant believe how well it cleaned up w/ purple power and a power washer. A little upset that the purple power took the paint off of the data tag. Oh well

    Removed this for a customer where I service their commercial refrigeration. Been out of commission for decades. I didn't have the heart to scrap it so this is what I came up with.

    Liftmaster 8500 pusher spring sizing

    Other than it tripping on safety all the time I don't want to have issues w/ the cable slipping off the drum. I've read that 9" is sufficient for this application. I was going to go bigger but I wont want to wear our the components.

    Do you get the dread that your great grandchildren are going to have to deal with your tools, hardware and general stuff?

    My wife asked me a few years ago about what my final wishes would be when I die since I dont have a will (Im 39). I told her whatever you do, dont have a yard sale and sell my tools too cheap!
