Hi Joe, Don't know if they're still available but I built a 24X30 Dixieline kit delivered to my drive way back in 87. I'm a mile south of the HS off Espola Rd. if you want to check it out.

I have one of the China 4 posts on the apron of our 24X30 detached garage here just north of San Diego, so weather isn't a problem. I grew up in W.St Paul,Mn and would not recommend one outside if I was still there. It came with casters and I didn't bolt it to the apron so it can easily be moved...

I borrowed a friends car trailer and they loaded it on the trailer with their forklift.

I haven't bought anything large/expensive from them recently so I haven't really noticed price increases, however I notice they don't have the FREE trinkets coupon items in the headings of their ad's.

NO PROBLEM Glad it's back

Have you checked with lumber yards in your area? I bought a 24X30 kit from a local yard(Dixieline) Everything you need to build on your slab delivered. They offered 24wX24,30, or 36.

Many years a go I made a gauge panel for a fibreglass replica Auburn dash for a Model A rdstr. I used various previously mentioned Cratex sticks in a drill press with a piece of marked/lined plywood clamped to the drill press. Very tedious and time consuming but it did work very well. I no...

I've had one for a looooong time, don't recall when picked it up, but was at the swap meet. I use it for pipe which is what it was designed for (I believe) I have it bolted to a chunk of sq steel tubing which I clamp in my stationary vise a Morgan 140 to use my pipe threader. I also use it for...

I have the same rotary table, bought it 30 years ago missing the 3 handles for $35 :) Not really precision but great on the drill press table. Good score.

I have generic Chinese 4 post lift which is outside since the attached and detached garage are both too low. I'd like to know if it's best to keep it down or up when not in use. Whether up or down there should be no pressure on the cylinder, up it's on the locks and down it's on the deck.

Years ago I decided to build one of the local lumber yards kit garages. They offered 24X24, 24X30 & 24X36. You provide the slab and they deliver everything else to complete the building. I decided on the 24X30 which I thought would be more than I ever needed. Hind sight I wish I would have gone...

Just get one of the cheap galv oil drain pans from one of the parts stores and braze or even use fittings/rubber washes to bolt to the pan.

I'm in so cal, lots a sun, had the plastic reservoir crack most likely from UV rays, so if you have that type reservoir be sure to protect it from the sunshine.

This is a relatively cheap ($2K) offshore import 4-post via Best Buy in Temecula,Ca. I borrowed a car trailer and picked it up, put it together myself. No problems until this happened. I got the replacement tank from Auto Lift Parts ($99) but it's available from several places including Amazon...

Thx vhol5, I rcvd a new plastic tank yesterday and after installing it I wrapped alum foil around it, then a white large trash bag. I think I'll make a thin gauge alum sleeve to pull up over it.
