It is a Liftmaster T501IL and the board has Version 2 on it, On Ebay are only new and I'm not up for buying used with this unit. I figured it could be the same as swapping out the tower of a computer, the monitor, mouse, keyboard, and such all connect and operate the same, just a different...

I have an old unit, the logic board is dead. Was wondering if anyone has put in a newer style board to an older unit? the replacement board is NLA so was just gonna find one that matched up best i could and wire it in.

WARNING: RED NECK ENGINEERING AHEAD So the larger picture is that I'm mounting my engine hoist off the back of the back of a small trailer, and the engineer in my head was thinking it would be nice to be able to 1. control it by not having to get between the load and the lift, 2. control it...

I was thinking pulling the pump handle and connecting a hydro line there from a pump,

Has anyone hooked up a Porat Power unit to their engine hoist so that you dont have to be at the cylinder to operate it?

So in my position, my garage is a small 6x8 enclosed trailer for now. I'm wanting to build a slide out shelf to one side (about 2x6ft). I know there's a $500 solution to this, I'm trying to find the $50 solution. My thought is to lay garage door track horizontally and build a shelf with the...

That's something I am trying to change. I have just moved into this field, coming from Industrial Electronics, Television, Bench Technician, Gas Station Service and Construction. We have had a few warm to cold back and forth here and its driving me nuts that the hoses keep freezing up.

I maintain a bunch of outside air compressors, the kind that are at gas station you pay or loose your money at.:D My issue I am having is the line keeps freezing up, the unit is just compressor and hose, no tank or dryer. Being outside I'm worried a standard water separator will just freeze up...

I'm thinking of rebuilding the doors with 2x4 framing, "inside" hinges (not the fence gate style that attach on the outside), and a shackleless or 'puck' style lock. I have a motion light directly over the door, and I'm thinking about modifying one of the stick on wireless garage door alarms so...

Sorry forgot to mention that it is the only entrance.

Has anyone made their own door latch/lock system? the doors on my shed are plywood reenforced by 1x2's, I'm thinking upgrade them to a 2x4 frame and create some sorta steel slide lock. Looking for ideas.
