I have a 335TV - if you want pictures, I can send you some. Also, I posted some pictures of it in the compressor thread. I changed over to a Baldor 5hp single phase and used the old mag starter. Everything works great. It's a real workhorse and when I sandblast it can be run continuously to...

Sorry for the loss, but glad you got out safely. I have never suffered a devastating loss such as this but have had two friends whose house and garages were burned to the ground. One was from the fireplace ash setting the house on fire and the other was from an electrical issue. After helping...

Looking to buy an HD9 with aluminum ramps and caster set. Please PM a price. I am in Michigan. Thanks Dave

I am thinking about the Max Jack for my garage and would like to see one set up in someone's garage. If you have one and are within an hour of Ann Arbor Michigan, could you pm me so we can talk about a demo? Thanks Dave

I have had a set of the Toptul ratcheting combo wrenches, extensions, and ratchets for several years and they have held up quite well. Just ordered a set of the long reach combo wrenches in Metric and SAE. They arrived yesterday and I will be using them this weekend. The Metrics are Satin...

Its been a few years since my last post on the lights and it is a time for an update - on both the garage and the lights! About a year ago the Wal-Mart fixtures started going bad. I would change out the bulbs and it was a **** shoot if they would work. I started experiencing the light not...

I know Northern Tool has kits. You can find several different assortments from screws, bolts, and nuts, to o-rings and such. Also, Harbor Freight has some assortments. The only drawback is the HF stuff is not the best hardware. It will do in a pinch, but not for anything long service or...

I have always used the Try-Rex pencils made for kids. They sharpen easier than the carpenter's pencils and have a larger lead so they do not wear down or break as often as a regular pencil. With that said... For Father's day, my kids and wife picked up the AccuTrax blades, the Striker pencil...

Both PSI and GPM are important. Units are rated in terms of "cleaning power" You need a balance of PSI and GPM to do certain jobs. As always, the bigger the better if it is adjustable. Costco used to have a unit made by Karcher that was a real good unit that had 3.0 gpm and ~3200 PSI (9600...

We had our house built in 1999 and it has a 1500 gal tank and an engineered field. In 2006 the township put a sewer line in and we had the choice to hook up at a discounted rate ~$8-$9k or continue using our septic until it failed and then hook in for ~ $11k. At that time we had the tank...

With the high-mileage oil, how long does it take to see the seals working better? I am just looking to slow this process down, and not do a rebuild.

Traditionally that's my stance on theses things as well. However, with technology advancing as quickly as it does, I always try to keep an open mind, but still require proof as to the effectivness of a product. I know the contributors on this board can really put a product through it's paces...

Has anybody tried the Xado engine revitalizer? I have never been big on additives and was wondering if it did anything. They say it does "microparticle deposition" to the wear surface where heat and friction occur and build back some of the surface while filling imperfections. My Ranger, 2001...

Overall pretty happy with my 30X40 with 10 ft ceilings Gambrel roof barn with upstairs - 1800sq ft total. When I built, based on budget restrictions, I knew I would eventually add a lean to off the back to put a lift in and use for storage of lawn equipment. I have enough saved to do it next...
