So, I found a Columbian Aristocrat 415 buried in my yard among other scrap. I haven't cleaned it yet and it looks to be in a little rough shape. I'll need to clean it to see if it's even worth messing with. It needs new teeth. Anyone know if that's something that's easy to find? Any info on the...

sweet!

Very nice! Like the garage and the things inside it; the E9X, the TDi wagon, B&W speakers?.. The Porsche is ok too ;)

Re: The "M" House - Razed and Rebuilt Detached Carriage House/Barn - Start to Finish Very nice! You need more tire storage though if you are gonna race that E46 ;)

Our pneumatic AC compressors at work needs to be drained everyday. Got auto bleeds on those. I'm in the same situation as you and guess a weekly bleed is probably plenty since its not pumping too much air. Obviously it depends a bit on what the humidity in the air is :)

I guess I'm officially into bikes now too. Just picked up an '06 SV650N two days ago :) As far as dirtbike I've made myself a little track around the back woods. Added a berm and a small low speed jump after this video was shot: Dont mind the poor clutch control in the beginning, video starts...

Hardly used, maybe 10 hours total. About one and a half years old. $180 obo. Got a 60 gallon and dont' really need this anymore. Located right north of Winchester, VA.

Steel rims? what is that? :lol: They are 15" alu rims and Toyo racetires. The stiff racetires makes for a challenge supposedly. I used to have a local shop do it for $8 but they went under and it's where I got the machines from.

I enjoyed that! Very nice!

:lol: thx

It does, and I'll be honest, I couldnt figure out how to put oil in there :dunno: I also havent gotten time to really sit down and look at it yet. I'm sure it is just seized and needs some lube and wiggle free to start working again. Btw, what's MMO?

Both really, but mostly "if you want it done right, do it yourself". I got the balancer and changer for $1k. To mount and balance a set of race tires its easily 15 bucks a wheel. At the track it can be $25! Obviously depending on how much I race etc, but a full season in one race series I can do...

Took the sidecover off and disconnected the air hose from the pedal/valve going to the clamping device. Air pushed out of i when I pushed the pedalt, so I guess the valve is good, right? Guess next will be to disassemble the clamping device to see if it corroded stuck or something.

Thanks! I'll start there. :thumbup:

Hi, I never used my tire changer yet but I got the compressor installed today and tried it a bit. It an old Hunter. Problem is, the clamp pedal just spins it, both directions and I hear air bleed out. The spinning pedal works and no air bleeds out. I'm thinking maybe a hose or something is...
