What was the heating system the radiators came out of? Was it a steam system or hot water? With the connection across the top, they can be used either way. If it was steam and you want to use them in a hot water system, remember to flush them. Also, plug the steam vent and loosen the screw at...

As the PE did work for you before, his seal with name and license number should be on the drawing. Take his License number/name and log into the CA Department of Consumer Affairs, select Professional engineer. In PA, it gives you his/her current city and if the license is active.

Is that a binder course then a top or base course then a top or just 2.5 inches of material rolled to a 2 inch final depth?

Glad I could help. The frame, SF and such looks like a match. So in your current setup, the single phase spins the 3-phase which generates 3-phase for your compressor? What size is your current single and 3 phase motor that comprises the "RPC"?

Also in PA, I just went through this. Purchased a Quincy 340 with a 7.5 hp 3-phase and decided to re-motor. Found the 7.5 single phase L1510T Baldor I wanted with the correct shaft size and case and 1.15 service factor and waited. When ebay ran their 15 percent off up to 100.00 I ordered it...

Is it my eyes or is the rebar on top of the pex? I pressurized my loops during the concrete placement and kept an eye on the gauge . I also used 90 degree plastic conduit sweeps, i think 3/4 for 1/2" pex, to protect the pex as it exits the slab. Run the pex inside the conduit. One other trick...

The EZ Dumper is 4 feet across the inside bottom of the dump bed if that helps. For battery power, I purchased a dual terminal battery. Top posts went to the truck, side terminals(GM) went to the dumper. Or you can buy the brass post bolt extenders and make the connections on a top post only...

I have an EZ DUmper that I purchased in 1996. One of the best things I ever spent money on. Has been installed in a 78 3/4 Ford for years, then recently a 97 PS F350. Had a coal door cut into the tailgate to haul anthracite for my stoker. When they come up for sale used, they don't usually...

Guy I work with just did this conversion on a 78. He lifted the drivetrain from a 95 or 96 12V Ram pu. He used the NV4500 (5spd) that was already behind the motor. Was able to install the motor without cutting into the front crossmember. The motor performed better when he installed an...

I've got it in my head that I need a cordless impact. Been a corded milwaukee guy most of my life but years ago when I needed cordless (2000) I puchased Dewalt because I didn't like the milwaukee offerings at the time. I have a bunch of the 18V Dewalt stuff and picked up the 18V to 20V...

Are you sure you want the "cheapest" lift to put an extended cab diesel over your head? How much of a difference to go with a Rotary?

Basher...really? The same snow hit my neighbors drive as it did ours. I saw what his machine could and couldn't do and I was behind our Ariens. To the original poster, it sounds like price is a big concern. A suggestion, look for a used 78-79 ariens. White/orange machine before they went...
