Thank you, pretty simple the way you explained it.

Any type of diagram to help a couple of amateurs get this motor wired correctly. You usually only get one chance to get it right.

The empty ring terminal may be from a different wire though. The blue pigtail on 6T3 is wired like it only operates the relay coil through the momentary switch as a branch circuit, the two incoming leads could go to 1L1 and 3L2 where the power then goes through the relay and exit’s 2T1 and 4T2...

I’ve got a few more pics to explain what’s going on. I’m not familiar with motor wiring so in this first pic the blue pigtail on 6T3 stumps me, is it for only operating the relay through the momentary switch? Whether or not that is correct, where does it tie in to the 2nd lead? I suspect the...

Thanks guys. Not wanting to toast my friends motor so need some reassurance. Previously wired by first owner as 230V single phase and we want to do the same. 2T1 goes to the motor and 1L1 was loose so we assumed that was the previous attachment along with the pigtail on 6T3. I’m not at the...

Hi folks, could anyone possibly help us on this car lift wiring? 230V single phase. We have no schematic but I think it is the 1L1 lug and 6T3 that already has a blue pigtail on it. Thanks Marc

“For pushing, pulling, aligning, spreading, and straightening jobs” Pipe clamps for metal fabrication in our trade (electric advertising signs) have always been less then adequate. Continuous advancement without having to reposition/reset the advancement mechanism would be so much more...

You can jack the car up a few inches and measure from the floor in the area directly below the ratchet up to a point on the bottom of the transaxle or engine block. Anything down low and solid enough to take some force. So, measure from the floor to that point and cut a 2x4 to that length plus...

I hope the measuring device wasn’t too cold . . . 😊

Toyota Corolla had been around for a decade and was a damn good car from day one.

I am sure it’s not a good idea. Besides the electrical hazards, I’ve seen a few do a quick rollover and power dive straight into the ground. And I have seen and been hit myself by diving kites when I was kiting as a kid with friends. Back in the early seventies there was a brand that had an...

…..and she no doubt payed out many millions more worth in hugs and kisses. There, finished it for you. 😁

Pretty steam punk looking. Needs some old vintage brass gages and copper lines to go with it and then maybe turn it into a urinal.

Put these in steel square tube back around 1975.

Back when Montgomery Wards went bankrupt we were hired to debrand some stores in our area. At one location we were to take all the signage off a closed Wards Auto Service Center and had to work around/with a crew of sheet metal installers who had been hired to replace the old metal on the back...
