Everything is more expensive now, ain't? I have used acetone at 50/50 with Rusto paint but never used the primer.

There is 40 billiondy videos on YT to modify HF sand blast cabinets. I watched them all. :D I was going to modify mine then found one on CL that had pretty much all the mods I was going to do. So mine was sold and I bought the one in the video below. So now there is 40 billiondy and one videos...

No expansion tank. Have not replaced anode. I'll go on youtube and look but assuming to replace the anode >turn off gas >release pressure >r&r anode If there is little room at the top can the anode be partially pulled, bend it, pull it out more, bend it, you get the idea? I have seen segmented...

Yes the burner turned off. But additionally the running out of hot water symptom may be representative of the thing dying. Since we have a history of short WH life I don't want to spend much time troubleshooting and repairing only to have short term fixes. I do like your idea of changing the...

Thanks a bunch for the replies. Rheem Marathon never heard of it and quickly looked at it. I'll look some more but it looks to be electric only? After spending my indoor bicycle time watching YouTube videos of water heaters, I think I am set on the heat pump model. I don't think I want to do...

I am in the decades old camp. Mine dried up quite a bit and the internet told me to mix in some ATF. Fixed for another decade or two.

Thanks for the welcome and compliment acer66. Now on my second post here in a little over 10 years. I may be overdoing it. The middle bike is an in process over restoration "resto mod" 85 RZ350 NC2. I may go search out the MC thread on here and post a few bikes.

I have two lifts. A harbor freight and a Direct-Lift. On both of these I have mounted the harbor freight wheel chocks. I can ride on, or push on, and the bikes hold themselves up. Then I use a rear stand to further support them. Bikes with a narrow front tire will have a tendency to want to tip...
