Thank you Willysfan. I had always thought they needed at least a small built up pour all around the edge.

Hello gentlemen. I am planning soon to pour a 4 inch floor under half my pole barn. Barn is 40' X 60', so I will be doing a 40 X 30 section. The floor will be a monolithic pour, and independent of the barn. My question is, What dimensions should the foundation portion (footer) of this be for...

On the small one, I have bet it was not a Quincy, but I did see Quincy either on the upper frame or the little pump itself. I have to look at that again. On the 106, I think the site is one I already checked and could not find much. I will check again, and do your recommended searches. I will...

Yeah, I know they are known to be among the best. I too, have worked in shops that have them, and swore by them. I just never had need to lay hands on one. I need general info such as what size motor I need, its maximum output, max pressure etc. Thanks for your input.

I recently purchased 2 old Quincey compressors for $100. They both have metal tags on the tank or frame saying "Chandler Machinery Company"...Atlanta, Georgia. The first on is very small, on probably a 20 gal tank. It is complete, and actually runs and works. Took about 7-8 minutes to pump up to...

anyone ?

Hey guys. I am wondering if anyone can help me out with some portable air compressor info. I really just need all the specs, but coming up dry after many searches. This is an old unit, manufactured in 1987, per the metal tag. The label on the side of the tank is a large red IMC with "American"...

I know some here will say that you never shop at Harbor Freight, because they sell cheap Chinese junk. But I will bet that the majority do shop there at times, at least for certain items. As for me, I love shopping there. I know they sell junk, but they also sell some quality items, and in my...

Many thanks to you guys for all the responses. A lot of good info provided. I think my question is answered..........30 weight non detergent. I thought that was probably correct but I wanted some assurance from others. I don't know the age of my comp. unit. Is it good or not good to change an...

I do have a HF. But is compressor oil, compressor oil, just compressor oil? Or, are there different grades and varieties?

Hello everyone............I have a FS Curtis ES50 air compressor that needs an oil change. Just for info purposes, this is a large 3 cylinder , single stage unit. I do not have an easy access to Curtis' branded oil which of course they recommend. I am wondering what I may get at Walmart or a...

I am about 18 miles south of Marianna. I bought the barn kit from a company in Levy county, based on price. In retrospect I should have gone with a kit from Surplus and Salvage. Ends up, theirs is a little bit better quality than the one I bought. Metal for the house roof came from Baker. Thy...

The barn is built to Florida specs. But 90% of all poles in the area were taken down by the storm. With 14' eaves I just want to give it every advantage against any strong winds, though I know nature can take down anything that man puts up. The outside sheathing will screw to these 2x6's. Short...

Thank you. That is what I thought but I always like to get other opinions.

Okay everyone, here is my attempt tp to post a couple pics of what I am doing. None of it is finished and completely fastened off. I know my place is junky, and it will probably continue to be for quite some time yet. lol
