Well done and welcome to the Porcelain Club. Did mine ~5 years or so ago and still completely happy with it.

Used it. Thanks a bunch!!!!

It’s a 1 hp farm duty motor. Here’s a link to the whole wiring diagram from their site: https://www.baldor.com/api/products/FDL3510M/drawings/CD0269 I haven’t opened it up to verify but I don’t believe a starter is present. This is being used on a log splitter Cheers

Thank you. That wasn't an option I considered given it was in a "join" column! :)

Hiya Folks, I have a Baldor motor that I am planning to convert from 120v to 240V. I'm not near the motor until later this week so I'll have a peek under the electrical cover to see if they have a diagram but in the meantime, when I search Baldor's site for the model number, I find a wiring...

Got mine last week. They originally cancelled my order (was definitely not one of the first to place an order). I moaned a bit but they wouldn't budge. On a whim, I called them early last week and they reinstated the order.

Stay on them. I broke down and ordered from them as well and it arrived timely.

I saw the kit available for $359 at Coastaltool.com Not sure if that makes it a bit more palatable for you. It's not the fuel version but might work for you.

I sure do. Still have to make the transition from Cu to Pex but I'll just solder those adaptors on.

Solder has definitely changed and the fittings as well. With the push to remove lead from the equation, I too have found it to be more difficult to solder. Seems to need a lot more heat than before but that could just be me. Cheers.

The motorized valve I purchased is able to be exercised manually with a hex key. I'm hopeful I need to use that feature but it's there just in case. I'm also placing a shutoff valve upstream of the motorized valve so if it does **** out, I can swap in a new one without having the village...

Thanks folks for all of the inputs. I'm leaning towards using pex and soldering on fittings to the existing copper. I just can't sign up for sharkbite fittings right now....I'm sure there are a lot of real world success stories with them but being down in the dirt and such, I just worry...

Hiya Folks, I'm far from being a plumber so was looking for any advice from those with more experience. I've got a small cabin in the woods that has city water. Years ago, I moved the main shutoff in the crawl space to be closer to the access to the crawl space. At the same time, I...

I've removed a lot of tile and wouldn't be without the rotary hammer to do it. Makes it relatively easy. Another tool I use is one of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/42-in-long-reach-air-scraper-62687.html It works on most of the stuff and the rotary is easier on what's left or in...

I purchased a different style of tote (ie. separate lid, not hinged as you are looking for) from Global Industrial. For what I was looking for, they had the best prices for their house branded totes. I specifically wanted polyethylene totes to better withstand cold temps. Unfortunately...
