    Been getting so many generators in for repair ordered a load bank tester from Honda. It's been a life saver and made adjusting generator output a breeze. I got tired of spending so much time sharpening lawn mower, chipper, and tile scraper blades. So got this bad boy. It's already paid for...

    vintage floor jack identification help

    Thanks for that. My forklifts work great as a jack for most things but sometimes I just need a jack. It had been assembled until today so I have everything for it.

    Air Compressor Supply Hose

    Sorry I guess I didn't read closely enough. Can you replace the hose barb fittings with compression fittings? Otherwise you might try 1/4" reinforced fuel line. It should stand up to heat well.

    Air Compressor Supply Hose

    I just used a piece of the black 1/4" ABS water supply line to fix one today. Had no problems with leaks or heat after several consecutive on/off cycles. Just be sure to use the little metal inserts so the line don't collapse when tightening the nut.

    Chainsaw - grease bar or not?

    Most saws/bars supply enough oil to keep the guide links lubed but not the nose wheel bearings and they'll wear out. Being a HF it may wear faster if not kept greased. If it has the little grease hole near the tip then keep it greased. Don't forget to flip the bar with each chain replacement/...
