@ed4banger: came out great! Really does look nice in that blue. Did you source a new badge or touch up the old one?

@drivesitfar: Lube: I meant moreso what that lubrication port on the front was meant for. Was really getting into one of those automotive oil threads. ;) My IR 2135Ti Impact has a little ball check valve for a grease gun that looks kinda like that. So i was wondering if it was for grease or...

@drivesitfar: Yeah Photobucket was a travesty. I'm a member of an ungodly amount of forums for various things. They destroyed soooo much accumulated knowledge doing that. I guess i understand that it was a massive burden with no monitization but jeeze did it ruin a lot of forum info all...

@drivesitfar: Thanks! yeah i was more of a lurker so i never really filled my profile much. Familiar with most form functionality as I'm active elsewhere but first time running into not accepting the imgur links with the "[IMG]" code. Was odd because they were showing up on my computers...

@wrenchguy/PFSard: Thanks! Work now? Super weird that it wont take direct imgur links. I went back through the thread and saw a bunch of other people just uploaded them direct to the site so i did that. Seems like an unnecessary burden for the server but whatever works.

Are my images showing up in post 176? They seem to only show up on one of my computers.

Been casually looking for a vintage beefy vise for a long while now. Some guy local to me seems to buy them all up and sell them for profit so it was a slow search. Finally stumbled on a 1955 Craftsman 5916 locally for a decent price. When i picked it up it was covered in different...

My compressor doesn't seem to have an unloader. I dont see any ports on the motor, nothing goes to the pressure switch, no blowoff when it shuts down, and the check valve looks to be just a check valve. Could it be normal to not have an unloader or should i be grabbing a load genie? Its not...

Update: Tried to hydro test it up to working pressure but either the zerk or gun i had was not cooperating and i was fed up. 60 gal of water wasted i suppose. Although i was able to get a lot more crud out of the tank and pressure wash the bottom a bit more so it wont gum up the drain valve...

Amperage isn't a big deal.. wires are legit gauge. Plug isn't standard anymore. All the new ones are NEMA and different configuration. NEMA L6-20 would be the most current. But since id have to rewire the plug and socket it almost makes sense to hard wire. was thinking either a switch...

Thanks PT... We've crossed that bridge though so now it's where to go from here that I'm working on. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Figuring out the electrical at the moment. Have an old style 20A 3 prong plug (non NEMA) Cant seem to find much info on them like diagrams or where to buy them. Guessing they are obsoleted? figuring its the regular 2 poles and a ground but the description on this site says "non grounded"...

Sberry- Just wanted to put in my due diligence since i already own it and its going in my house. Got a pressure washer in there but shooting down from a 1/2 hole 5ft up it wasnt 100% effective. I cant really get enough light and sight down there to make a great judgement. That's why i was...

Finally i know what they are called! No luck finding a 3/4" though. I imagine when i do find it, it'll be quite pricey and i'll use it all of once. Any recommendations?

Grigg- Thanks! Dont have access to that equipment unfortunately. I was also a bit leery of messing with super heating parts of the tank.
