    Parts Washer Solutions

    I am considering on buying a parts washer, and on reviewing all the different brands of 20-40 gallon parts washers available, they all say to use water based cleaning solutions. I have a 5 gallon bucket of Berryman`s Carburetor and Parts Cleaner. Can this stuff be used in most of these parts...

    Sears 501152 Floor Jack Rebuild Questions

    I fixed the problem I had with the release valve. I had to take the valve back out and adjust the connecting rod. There is another step to do, but I can`t explain it in text. I would have to show a video on how I did it. But the jack is working great again. I greased the bearings for the rear...

    Another orange body white Handle floor jack with NO permanent ID markings - Not lifting

    Your jack looks exactly like my Sears jack. Same size piston and pump shafts. Easiest way to do this without a diagram (I didn`t have a diagram either) is take pictures of the order that the seals, springs and ball bearings come out in from each assembly. (for example; Release valve assembly...

    Sears 501152 Floor Jack Rebuild Questions

    I finished re-building the pump and put everything back to together. I ran into a problem with the release valve. I cant turn the handle left or right. The gears mesh fine, there is no binding or anything. The release valve turns fine when I installed it. I am wondering if the connecting rod...

    Sears 501152 Floor Jack Rebuild Questions

    Thank you, ajchien. Good info on where the screen goes and about the crush washer. The large tank/body seal on mine is in good condition and did not leak from this area. I`ll put some sealant around it anyway. I assume you have not had a leak after you replaced your crush washer, so the valve...

    How many battery platforms are you using for power tools?

    Yes, I had 4- 18v DeWalt batteries. Now, I`m down to one battery. Once that battery is no good, I will retire the drill I guess.

    How many battery platforms are you using for power tools?

    Currently I have only two. My old DeWalt drill uses the huge 18v batteries. I am not going to buy anymore of those batteries or expand on the DeWalt tools. I am sticking with Milwaukee M18 Fuel cordless tools, so I don`t have to buy all these different battery platforms. I don`t yet have any...

    Sears 501152 Floor Jack Rebuild Questions

    So, I have a Sears model 875.501152 3-Ton floor jack that I am replacing all the seals on. I have a seal kit that is on the way from HCRCnow.com.
