I remember it was about the late 70's and I was around 12 my grandpa started giving me tools for my birthday and Christmas. He and his brothers owned a John Deere implement store. Every tool was John Deere. I don't know who made them but they were good tools. My son has them now.

I bought a second one when it went on sale to store all of my hardware and small parts. A lot cheaper than a Lista type cabinet.

How about Plasti-Dip for the back of you ear?

After reading these post I'm at least going to look harder at the Rotary's. My original question was about adapting the lift for things other than cars and trucks. I think if I have to I could build "shoes" that go around the end of the arms and drop a pin into the finger holes to secure them.

Been in the market for a good used symmetric 9 or 10K two post lift. Some I have been looking at are from rotary with their flip up arms. I will be using this lift for everything from a lawnmower to a GMC 2500 HD. Would I be better off getting something with the other type with the socket and...

Agree with GTA Matt. Just put a little amount of grease on the rubber bumper.

I have the GMC version of that truck with the Duramax. The center of weight is right at the front door handles.

We use bits like that to line stop or tap large waterlines. The carbide is for cutting ductile iron pipe.

Question for a Metabo expert. We have some grinders that will not work with our portable welders and generators. I believe it is the soft starts. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for the reply. Co worker has a SPO10 that is symmetrical. I know his just reaches the spring hangers in the back.

I built a 30X48 20 years ago. Had it divided up into three parts. This winter I took all of the divider walls out and so much happier. Not your situation now but just think into the future. One building gives you a lot of flexibility later on. It's also cheaper to go up than out. Loft space can...

I have two shop cats. The problem is that the wife feeds them that stinky **** and are not hungry enough for mice.

Mine had been hanging on the pegboard in the bag. Noticed the other day it looks like mice chewed on the bottom of the bag. I have since moved it to my filing cabinet.

Just picked up 2 of the 44" bottom boxes and all was good till I tried to find a spot for my welding helmet. If the bottom right 6" drawer was 9" would be perfect. Looks like the 56" cabinet drawer that is 14" might work except for the depth. Any one replace this drawer?

They don't make the 9 any more. The SPAO10 is about $4k just delivered. I know its 20 years old but made in USA and can still get parts for it. My dilemma is the length of the truck and the arms of the lift. Looking for someone that has done it.If not I need to look at other options.
