Thanks guys! I’ll just replace the baffle for the price. So as I’m putting this back together, I never took a photo of the eccentric weight and how it sits in relation to the piston once mounted. Would anyone now if there is a difference? Because in this photo the piston is basically full...

The one I caused you mean? The one I put a square around that comes part of the baffle, I didn’t cause that. The one I caused is the one that’s circled. I just don’t understand what this baffled even serves?

basically that black baffle separates these two halves.

I have a little 20 gal air compressor that’s served me well for my uses, however over the years it developed a leak on the commutator oil seal. I took it all apart to replace the seal there which is fairly easy. However, in the process of that, I had to open the side of the head and there is...

Is there a fix for this lol? I mean, I draw the hose out, turn the unit on and it basically collapses the hose / pulls the vac towards me.. this is gonna be a nightmare to use for car cleaning.. And I’ve thrown the box away for it already so a return isn’t possible..

But in this vacuum the hose like has clip that attached to the inlet on the vacuum.. i feel like another hose won’t have that or?

So I’ve had the Ridgid 3 Gallon 5.0-Peak HP NXT Wet/Dry Vac for a couple of weeks that has the flexible hose that comes with it which can be stored on the unit when not in use. Is it just mine or, when the vacuum is turned on this hose that’s supposed to extend gets basically sucked in and is...

Well ended up spending more and getting this unit - https://www.ridgid.com/ca/en/hd0300 - Has a floor sweep festure - Strong suction. Actually insane compared to my crappy Stanley unit lol.. - It’s loud but not obnoxious - Blower outlet - Compact and storage for accessories Should work well...

I did stumble on rhis now which is even more money but more compact, 3gal https://www.ridgid.com/ca/en/hd0300

Too bulky and big for me.

Thanks! The warranty sounds tempting with Ridgid, even tho the lifetime isn’t like their LSA on the battery tools, reading online seems like they own up to it and repair the units even though the warranty has caveats in its wording. I’d rather buy once and not worry about it. Never had a...

Looking at getting a new shop vac for my garage , car cleaning etc. I’m either looking at the Dewalt DXV04T or Ridgid Propack WD4522, both units are 4GAL corded units. Price difference between the two is approx. $60 with the Ridgid being more expensive. They both look identical besides color...

thank you! What you’re saying makes sense. And after closer review of their diagram and YouTube vids I think your first statement on L1 and L2 is accurate.

I may have jumped the gun on the Mysa thermostat and confused myself. So before I actually commit to this, I have another question. So the Mysa calls for 3 wires. My understanding, which could very well be wrong. On my heater I have L1, L2 terminals and then I need to connect at T1 and T2 to...

Took it apart a bit to get a shot of the motor. Based on the motor info, I should be okay to run just #12 or #10 between the thermostat and the T1 and T2 lines on the heater? The 3rd wire for the thermostat (power) can also be a #12/#10 pig tailes from the #8 that will run the L1 or L2 on the...
