I'll be sure to send you a private message with my all my future comments for approval before I post so you don't have to volunteer to click on every thread that's posted, read through the BIOGRAPHY that's a whole half of a page.... and decide whether or not it's allowed to be on internet.

Ratchet was taken apart for cleaning by my grandfather years ago. Internal gear was cracked and broken. Guess I should have posted that in my original post so I'd be allowed to share my tool warranty exchange story with other people, who own similar tools, and have similar stores in their...

Man that's a downer. I thought for sure it was just my Lowes not knowing what to do. Like I said, I can't believe nobody has taken something in and done the same thing I did that day. Those young kids acted like I was crazy. I will say, if Sears was already closed, I would have been talking...

Ya, that wouldn't have flew with Grandpa..... haha. I'm not sure he will ever even use the ratchet again, but he got his warranty honored. I have no issues with other brands though. Really like my Husky and Kobalt stuff. Harbor is all over my toolbox too (including the chest all my tools are...

Morning Guys, My grandfather called me in a panic last Friday. The local news at noon dropped the bomb that the Sears in our area is closing. He's in his late 80's, and has a 1/2 inch ratchet that locked up on him 10 years ago that he knows he is going to need soon..... Wants me to go exchange...

Like the title says, I'm looking for a Stubby 3/8 ratchet. Something like the Snap On FK720, but I'm not really brand loyal. I'd prefer american made though. The FK720's are averaging about $33 bux on ebay, but I thought I would check here before I go that route. I need this wrench for the...

Ya, I started there. I sent the second site an email with my model number on the stamp plate but they haven't responded. It says on the site there is suppose to be another plate on the pumps themselves but I don't have that on these pumps. I tried punching my model number into the search bar on...

Hey Guys, I recently picked up two vintage Two Stage Champion compressors, a vertical 80 gallon and a horizontal 60 gallon. The vertical has a stamp plate with model number TUV55-80, with stamped numbers/letters on the cylinder NR-10-8. It has a horse and a half motor. The plate on the tank...

Mods you can delete, posted in correct tool forum

The only local shop that I know that would have them closes at 4pm before I get off of work and isn't open on the weekends.... otherwise it would have been done already.

Thanks nehog! How about the start capacitor? (I'd like to switch them both out)

the compressor is out in my shop, i'll try to get a pic of diagram tomorrow. I saw the MFD ratings on the capacitors online, but I couldn't find a rating on the ones I had anywhere. Would it be listed on the motor plate? Thanks guys!

Hello, About a week ago my old dayton compressor burnt up and I found another compressor to replace it. Well today my dad brings me over another dayton that was at his work that hadn't run in a while. They told him the capacitors needed to be changed out (don't know why or how they know) so I...

Thanks for the extra info guys. I picked it up. It has a brand new 45 dollar craftsman regulator, he had just put a fresh powder coat on the tank after having it tested. His buddy sold him a 80 gallon for cheap so he just didn't have the room. The pump is a two stage marked Dayton speedaire...
