    Craftsman Block grinder question.....

    Are the bases on the various H.P. block style grinders all the same size? I have a 1/2 and a 1 H.P grinder, but the 1 HP is in storage so not available right now. The 1/2 hp model is o n an original Craftsman pedestal. I'm wondering if the 1 hp model will bolt down to the same pedestal. A...

    Skidsteer tracks question

    I'm looking at a set of grouser steel tracks with pads for my Case 1840 skidsteer. How do I gauge the wear in the pivot points? Seller claims they are low hour tracks, I'm trying to learn how to tell if his description is accurate. Thank You!

    MyHot Dog won't work?

    There should be a little light on the circuit board that blinks in different sequences to indicate a problem, along with a sheet stuck to the access cover detailing the codes. Troubleshooting: http://www.lpgandnh3.com/assets/hot-dawg-troubleshooting-guide.pdf

    Silly question: Concrete PSI vs. casters/dollys and epoxy flooring

    We have to deal with freeze/thaw cycles and 4+ ft of frost in the winter. Up here 4000psi is minimum on floors, 4500-5000psi for garage floors and driveways. 3000-3500 is considered footing mix up here. In my opinion, the "art" of hand finishing a floor to a very nice smooth surface has gone by...

    Favorite caster/mobile feet for Craftsman Pedestal stands?

    Thanks for posting your engineering skills and hard work! I have a table saw and a band saw with these type bases. This is an awesome solution and something I can machine in my garage. :beer:

    $30 Craftsman Bandsaw, how'd I do?

    I've watched the auctions on ebay. The parts don't sell very quickly. Small market, most people don't believe in "old stuff". PM me some pics and the model number. If it's what I'm looking for, I may be convinced to drive down and buy yours.

    Vintage Floor jack help...

    Well, it sounds like they want 275 for the floor jack, a 60's model Wayne compressor pump model 378-SV with the original electric motor, a Westinghouse 1 1/2 hp 1725rpm (The air tank is junk, has a hole in it) and a vintage 12 inch wall style vent fan. We agreed previously on 100 for the...

    Vintage Floor jack help...

    I came across a vintage floor jack when I went to check out a vintage Wayne air compressor. Isn't that how it always works? The jack appears to be identical to the one in these pics at this link: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/marquette-floor-jack-id.443648/ The jack pumps up and...

    Good Day Gents.....

    I've lurked here on and off over a few years, but a little about myself: I'm from Minnesota (As soon as I figure out how to edit my profile, I'll put it in there.) I'll fix, or try to fix, just about anything. The oldest thing I got back up and working was a washing machine from 1915. I do a...
