I have a 4000 psi 13hp cat gas unit with an add on diesel heater but I picked up a Craigslist special 3hp electric pump diesel heated unit that needed a new pump. New pump on the electric is also a cat rated at 2000psi and 3gpm but I’m only running 1500 psi. The electric unit does 95% of all...

I’m with the others and what your gut is telling you, it’s not worth it. $100 is a pretty cheap pump, I doubt you will ever find any economy in rebuilding it. I would pull it apart and see what I’m dealing with but go into it with an open mind. Also, the ceramic pistons mentioned earlier can...

If it’s built like a Lista or a Vidmar, which the slide looks like it is, $100 is an absolute steal. Those sell at auction between 500-1000 regularly.

I just sold my Burke Millrite after getting a good deal on an Ex-Cell-O (Canadian BP sized). Never thought I would sell the Millrite, it had always done everything I needed, the replacement was just too clean to pass up. Best thing I did to the Millrite was add a digital readout to it...

I did a 3500sf house with crown throughout and lots of doors and windows the same way it sounds like you plan on doing. The best setup I found was the pro painter that came and finished everything up off and on between larger jobs! Getting that disclosure out of the way, I did probably 75%...

I’ve stored equipment outside for around a year, oiled and covered, without issue. Check that nothing is rusted to the point of being frozen. Surface rust will wipe off with some wd-40.

Late to the party but will throw some others out there for sport. I’ve been using Rockport Work hard toes. They are slip on sperry type with a safety toe. I don’t really need a safety toe all the time, but I found that going from using them only sometimes how much I use my feet for aligning...

Looks like Magee beat me while I was typing, but we came to the same consensus on market price, not bad!

In my opinion a fair good buyers price would be around $300. I see them (and comparable others) listed for well over that and rarely any less, but that seems about the floor. At auction (not ebay, real auction) I have seen them go for as little as $100. The cheapest I saw listed on ebay was...

Use calipers if you have them. The Rockwell pictured below had an odd size slot. They were just off a standard mill table T slot size. Also, I second ez-duzit's comments for quick jobs, but if you have tee slots I would also suggest looking into a set of T slot quick grips for the task. I...

Both, but setup for metal. Delta 28-345.

The blade guide axles definitely come apart. I used an arbor press to get them apart and back together I believe. I’ll take a look in the morning to be sure. The tires on both of mine were fine. It’s like they were bonded to the wheels though so the replacement may be a process and that...

I couldn't sleep so here is my long winded reply.... The factory Ellis paint is a green hammered type finish. I tried to replicate it by using Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green. I have had mixed luck with the hammered paints and in this case it was not worth the hassel of spray bombs for such a...

I inserted photos in order but they didnt load. Not sure what is up with that. I attached them to the last post and this one but unfortunately now the post dosent make much sense. Its like technology is going backwards. **** like that is why I dont even bother with forums usually anymore!

Ignore the mess of my shops in the photos, I have been working on it, I swear! Photo of the 3000 below. Still needs the chip pan, the sheet metal guard that covers the power switch, and a clamp. There is also a piece of 1/4" plate that goes over the wire in the front I have not put back on, I...
