Its a smaller tank on my '74Z but what I did was used this kit from Summit Racing and it seemed to help. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/KCO-53000 I used the nuts and bolts trick to clean the tank while rotating it by hand. I cannot find it on the Internet but someone posted strapping his...

OK! That little bit of paint must of been the problem because it works! I can get to work on repairing my '74Z again. Thanks all for the help!

I'm assuming I have 240 V since I can plug my Level 2 charger in and it shows its getting power. I put two pieces of metal between the stingers but one might have some paint on it. Maybe I should try two clean pieces of steel. I just need to press down on the handle and push the switch one way...

I have a Stark 55010 spot welder, essentially the same as the 240V Harbor Freight welder. I need to plug it into an outlet in my garage wired as a 50AMP level 2 car charger. I cannot seem to figure out how to wire it up. The welder will not work when I plug it in but I verified it worked at the...

I found an older/smaller model with the identical guide for $50. With the $36 shipping and Paypal fees, all he needs to send me is $95.61. He'll likely need to come up with maybe another $95 to cover the duties. Unfortunately, once in awhile, Brazil customs will reject a package and it goes back...

Alinc100: Carter makes an impressive array of upgrade parts. I'll pass the information on to my friend. He could actually purchase a used band saw of the same model as he already has for $100 but shipping and duties would likely be an additional $300 so this might work to his advantage.

A friend in Brazil has an old Ryobi BS1001sv bandsaw with a broken blade guide. I've been trying to locate one for him by looking for someone parting out a similar bandsaw but no luck. I realized that a BS903 uses an identical part (assigned a different part number) and I was wondering if anyone...

I guess what I'm going to do after all this input is buy insulated replacement doors likely from HD since they are expecting a sale in March, keep my old hardware and just not tension my old springs as much to compensate for the lighter doors. That way I can avoid downgrading my torsion springs...

I looked that one up but I was surprised that when you purchase a door it doesn't come with the springs and torsion bar since I thought springs had to be matched to the door's weight. I bring this up because when my standard lift door spring broke 10 years ago, I replaced it with a pair of high...

Thank you for the quick responses. I think my problem isn't so much money as not wanting to put something in a landfill that still has life left in it. We use our doors a lot. It will be interesting how they handle the hi-lift door.

I have a 1980 built house with an attached garage. The two 9' garage doors are wood framed sections with Masonite panels that in the past few years I've had to selectively cut out and replace due to deterioration. I've added a foil insulation on the inside of the doors to make it a little more...

OK, got it working. It turns out that a 75-cent "E" clip fell off. It is part #25 on shaft #27. The shaft is not drawn to scale. There are two groves in the shaft maybe 2 inches apart on either side of #32 (tilt lift bracket). The E clip farthest from the crank was missing. I mistakenly thought...

I couldn't locate a bolt that matched the thread on the shaft but I don't think that's related to the problem. I'm pulling the case off using a Youtube video as a guide. I figure I can have a better look at what's wrong that way.

I have a 113-29920 table saw that I cannot raise the blade on except using a crowbar. On inspection, the retaining ring and steel washer (parts 25 and 33 respectively) on the attached figure are missing. I tried using a washer and C-clip which promptly fell off but I'm not sure if that's the...

I stood the hydraulic unit on end and filled it up. Then laid it down and let the excess fluid run out. Pumped it up, blead it off and repeated the filling process. It finally extended out. Unfortunately, when I pressed the ram back in, fluid leaked heavily from around the ram. I'm assuming this...
