I'm in the same boat, ebay for about $9 but still. Did you ever find it cheaper?

This forum and I guess more importantly it's members are just incredible. On thanksgiving I get an answer within an hour. The seals I replaced were on the ram piston or ram cup as you call it. The o-ring was obviously cut and easy to find. For that reason I did not take apart the rest of the...

I had a new jack issue pop up today. I replaced a few seals a few months back and everything was working fine till today. It was cool out in the mid teens so that may have been a factor and it has only developed this problem today. But it did it each time I needed it. So I was lifting the...

I have this older, I believe Craftsman jack and it started leaving a pretty good blood trail over the last few weeks. It should be pretty straightforward to replace the seals per the sticky if I can figure out what the heck it actually is. I am reasonably sure it is a Craftsman. It is at...

Just to wrap this up a little, it is all back together and it's working fine. The above advice was very helpfull if anyone else finds this in the future. I was able to get it back together without taking the whole spindle off. I took the tension off the spindle return spring and removed the...

Believe it or not that made perfect sense. I am sure the second I touch it everything will go blank in my mind and it will not come apart that easy but it all makes sense. The picture is great. I have taken damn near everything else I can think of apart but a dril press is not one of them...

Alright that sounds easy but I am lost. I can get the piece (spindle) that is hanging down back up into position if I spend a little time getting it to line up with whatever is in there as I push it up. It will go up till it just pokes through the spindle side pulley which is where it used to...

Picture should explain it pretty well, my question is is it the chuck falling off the arbor or the arbor falling out of the quill? And what the heck do I do about it? Happened while drilling a 7/8 hole with a freshly sharpened (not by me) bit but something was definitly not ground right as...

I can add a few more details that should help here. The switch downstairs that I am not trying to use has a single 14-3 going to it. The switch upstairs has the other end of the 14-3 from the other switch. It has 2 additional 14-2's one from the breaker (I assume) and one for the light run...

I don't know why I can't figure this out. I have 2 3-way switches one at the top of the stairs one at the bottom. They control 3 lights in the basement. I am looking to come off the switch at the top of the stairs run about 3 feet up the wall and add a receptacle so I can add a short...

Nothing special here, but this is mine. Inside is a 30 gal craftsman POS (newer but still a POS) 2x4 construction 3/8 plywood walls. I did leave a .75inch gap around the bottom and there are two vents in about the middle of two sides (right and back) and the gable end is covered with screen...

I agree completely, this site is great for ideas and help on the various stages of building a garage but too much is too much. My garage is a working garage is a 2.5 car working garage. On any given day it is covered with sawdust, grease, or car parts. But I because of this site I have an...

Have some fun and go buy a "Kil a Watt" and start plugging things in. It is nothing more than a user friendly multimeter but is handy and usefull. It can also be very informative. For years while living at home my mom would bug me about using an electric blanket, turns out it uses about $.07...

One more vote for listening to the board. Build the shed the size of the pad. If you want an apron in front of the doors I would pour that separately and sloped away. Even with only 6" sticking out it will get wet. Rain rarly falls straight down. Not sure of your location but snow will...

Great answer VHF, I started reading it and already knew the end. I never guessed for residential that the field interference would be a big concern. I guess I am kind of glad it is with all the wireless things we deal with now days. Many thanks, especially mrb. I think I have two options...
