I wish my rafters ran the other way cause I'd like it to be on a track that could go side to side in my garage. But even in a fixed position I could live with I've been told if I span my rafters with a beam it would hold just fine. I just don't trust those little connection plates ( whatever...

not best pic old but u can see rafters

Worst case I'll make a gantry crane for outside. Only limits me to summer and fall for work but I'm on a very tight budget

That's why I'm wondering if I can beef up the truss with 2x6s on either side Or if I can make a gantry of sorts that would sit between the rafters so I don't lose head room but idk what I would need to stretch the whole 24ft and be able to hold the weight

I'm wanting to put an electric hoist in my garage in the future to help me with projects (I'm a quadriplegic in a power chair) most things it will lift probably won't be terribly heavy more for the convenience of not having to ask and wait for help. But I do want it to be sturdy enough for its...

I understand it. If ur income is like mine and you would tackle parts at a time

After soaking for a week I took the cylinder to work and got the piston freed up and removed now to clean both up and clean the rest of the pump up get some gasket material and start putting things back together. Yes I'm going to hydro test the tank before I use it

(Just one more). I have to ask. Are you a member of my fb group. The 67-72 chevy truck barn? Nice trucks and barn

I just got one too. I recieved mine for free. Not sure what year. Currently trying to restore it. The cylinder is obviously removed in the pic

I've only found one other like it and 0 information but I still like it. Got it at an auction lots of work to do to it cause the previous owner reconfigured the plumbing It works. Just not the way it's suposed to but I'll get it done sometime

Thank you that I think proves my theory that that's what it's for. No way it holds anything in it just dangling there and is on the crank on one end and under the oil level rod on the bottom. So I *** it was for oiling but have never seen anything like it before

One more question This ring around the crank in the case

I haven't let it soak yet but that's the plan. It's de stuck very good When I first got it I popped off the oil fill plug to check oil. Looked watery and very low figured I'd give it a spin by hand. Wouldn't e budge that's when I started disassembly. Going to clean everything up inspect the...

The piston itself is siezed in the cylinder The top of the cylinder all the way down to where the piston is sitting looks clean not rusted so must be at the very bottom where it is sitting I usually use a 50/50 mix of atf and acetone I was wondering if it was a breather like thing. Makes...

I'm wondering, since it's siezed right now, if I pour penetrating oil down that chamber if it will help. Surely won't hurt
