    Friedrich thru the wall a/c

    I have a 3 car garage. It is fully spray foam insulated. I have a 24000 btu Friedrich thru the wall a/c. The unit was not working properly and I diagnosed it. The problem was the capacitors (it has 2). One to start it and a second one to keep it running. I removed the capacitors because I wanted...

    Need help deciding which type of wood cutting tool to buy

    Hey guys thank you all so much for all your suggestions, they are greatly appreciated. I've had circular saws and they are fine for a lot of things and in the hands of a pro you can "build a house". In my case I want to build workbenches and I don't want to make multiple cuts or wrestle with a...

    Where is the capacitor in my Friedrich through the wall a/c

    The link was helpful because the manual i have doesn't even mention the capacitor. Ans it is a factory service manual. AN interesting thing is that the one you sent me has a picture on page 3 that looks like identical to the one I have and also the manual I have and neither show the location of...

    Where is the capacitor in my Friedrich through the wall a/c

    To answer some of your questions or comments. I have the a/c unit on the floor of my garage so I could inspect it and get access to the fan and mor bushings. I did lubricate all the bushings a few times. That did not solve the problem, both fans turn freely when turned by hand. I know what most...

    Where is the capacitor in my Friedrich through the wall a/c

    I have a Friedrich model SL24j30a-3 through the wall a/c in my garage. It does a great job cooling when it works. After searching through the internet it looks like the fault is the capacitor. I have the service manual for the unit but no where is a capacitor identified. When the unit is turned...

    Need help deciding which type of wood cutting tool to buy

    I need to get a wood cutting tool to build work benches and shelves for my garage. I will be cutting 4x4 and 2x4 lumber. I don't want a hand held circular saw. I will need something that will do straight cuts and angle cuts. As you probably can tell I am not a wood worker. Your suggestions...

    Cheap stick welders

    Neither do the batteries. I buy my batteries from Walmart because they usually expire before the guaranty period. Years ago I bought an Optima red top battery which did last a long time. Based on my experience I purchased a newer Yellow top which died prematurely. Fortunately I got a refund on...

    Cheap stick welders

    I have several project cars with no battery or dead battery. They are all different sizes. I would go broke buying new batteries for all of them.

    What size Ultrasonic Cleaner

    Sorry about carb dimensions but I assumed that the folks in this forum would be familiar with the size of a four barrel carburetor. I know some are bigger than others. I hoped that someone in the forum who has an ultrasonic cleaner for the purpose of cleaning carburetors would respond.

    Cheap stick welders

    I am looking to buy a cheap (under $100) stick welder. I saw a video from Uncle Tony's Garage where he revived an old battery with a stick welder as charger. I have about a dozen old batteries sitting around that I could use on my cars. Call it an experiment. I already have a Miller mig welder...

    What size Ultrasonic Cleaner

    I want to get an ultrasonic cleaner but I don't know what size (capacity) I need to clean carburetors. I have some Holleys and motorcycle carburetors that need to be rebuilt and cleaned. I know there are several threads on the topic but none of the address the size (gallons, liters) . I would...

    Organizing ideas needed.

    For seven years I rented warehouse space (6,000 sq/ft) to store my cars and parts. But all that changed recently when my landlords expanding business needed the space.I sold as many cars as I could but that left me with 13 cars, 2 motorcycles, and heaps of parts. I rented 2 indoor storage units...
