Does anybody have a coupon that will work for ordering the 2200lb two stage transmission jack item 33884? I have no coupons,store couldn't order for me either. First time using HF website to order a tool and not sure that I want to. Already nervous about anything from HF for $600.

Nobody? Any info is more than I have now.

Here's some pics of all of it. Update with a couple more in a minute when photobucket stops being difficult.

I'll post pics up of it tomorrow. Also the other items,any info I can get on them will help. Pretty sure I have the setup to bore a block maybe,not well enough for my tastes but they said he did alot of stuff in there. One is some type of rottler boring bar but no motor or anything,I suspect it...

I'm gonna wake up an old thread instead of starting a new one. I was given a Van Norman 555,Van Norman 333 and some type of boring bar without a motor that I believe was used with the 333. I could use the 555 in my shop,but am having a hell of a time figuring out HOW. I haven't wired it in yet...

I'm currently procrastinating on building a 10'x6' "blast room". It is to house my sandblaster because I don't like it in shop as well as provide an area to blast larger items like atv/motorcycle frames and keep the mess contained. My plan is to just sink 4x4 corner posts,a few slats to tie them...

I say lowwwww,thought it is determined by market. When I was a Ford tech starting pay at our small time dealer was $18 flat rate iirc. A good tech,or diesel tech would end up around $22 or so. I wouldn't touch heavy equipment for any less than $25hr personally. The tools are more expensive and...

If you look on the rear track bar you should see an accordian/cylinder-ish device between the rear axle and track bar with a wiring connector going to it. The ends are little ball connectors similar to trunk/hood support shocks. Pop one end off and push it together until to the pump comes on. DO...

Bst thread ever,read every bit. Keep the projects coming,your very inspiring. Have your thought of simply spraying a bit of acetone and clamping together a bit? Acetone will generally melt plastics,though you probrably wouldn't get the fine edge where it joins and i'm not sure if it would stick...

This is what I was thinking of doing after all these good suggestions. I don't have cabinets but that one was really cool for a home shop or if you know you'll never move your tools. For a daily technician the rollaround rack is awesome. I'm not at a dealership anymore,but I still like the...

I've got that much probrably in a much smaller space. We didn't do any extra supports,just bought 2 or 3 sheets of plywood and cut it to fit. We also have insulation underneath as our garage is insulated fully. Any reason you didn't put some insulation under? Would've been easier to do it now if...

I've thought about that,as I go into the attic at the other end of house periodically and it does get hot. If I enclosed the ac unit in the attic,I would basically build a room around it. Would be a good place to house our various home media stuff as well as a 12v solar charged power supply I...

The return can remain in that closet without issues if it were moved straight up. I also have enough spare materials in the shop to actually enclose/insulate a small room around unit in the attic for keeping it temperature controlled if that needs to happen. The A coil is behind the bottom...

K,pics and more info. Unit is a Rheem,it is right at 3ft tall from bottom to metal duct. Metal duct mounted on top is approx 2.5ft till taped juntion/extension into ceiling. The drain i'm assuming is the white pipe on front. Is anything mounted in the first metal duct or is everything contained...

Sorry,to clarify I believe I can mount the unit vertically in the attic. From just looking,the unit itself is maybe 4ft with about 4ft of duct above. Not sure if anything is in the duct,but pretty sure I have at least 5ft in the attic just offhand. I'll find a tape measure to be sure. At a...
