lol it looks like the low oil switch was the culprit. Found a little card hanging in the back that said to turn it a 1/4 turn before starting. Looks like it's working good now. Thanks for your help!!!

Good question -- I'll look at the manual and see if I can find something about that!

I discharged all the air in my compressor and changed the oil in it. When I reconnected power it did not start. I found a little black button inside the power box and when I push it it will begin running but will only run while I have the button pressed. I did this until it reached about...

Awesome -- thanks for all the help guys. I'll go check out the Milton V's! :)

Hey guys, I'm sick of my quick couplers developing air leaks after little use. I've bought the from Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Lowe's etc but they all eventually ****. Any advice on the best, most dependable couplers I can get out there? My compressor is this one: I haven't run a...

After talking with a tech at BatteryMinder I ended up ordering their model #24041 24volt charger / de-sulfator. You can see some info about it here: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200365179_200365179 I haven't installed it yet but plan to do it this weekend.

Thanks guys. They did get a little low on water last year and I topped them off with some more distilled water. I think the damage was already done though. I have two Battery Tenders for my 12V batteries (cars, tractor) but I had no idea they offered versions for other types of equipment...

Hi Everyone, When I built my garage I bought a used JLG scissor lift from Hertz Rental. It has been immensely useful over the past 3 years but the batteries have gone completely dead and are nonchargeable. I sourced some new batteries and am going to go buy them today, but I was wondering...

Thanks for the compliments! I don't really have anything new in terms of pics of the place but I have some pictures of current projects over in my blog (see sig). Basically they are pictures of the shop in action. The latest entry is about a wood heater I just got. I plan to start installing...

Hi Mad57. Here are the pics I promised. I've attached them, but bigger versions can be found here:

Hi Mad57, sure I'll get some pics for you tomorrow! I had an electrician install it, but I'll open the cover and snaps some pics for you in the morning! Jonny, we love the boat. It's a 27 fter and we've taken it to the gulf stream several times; when the rough NC waters let us that is. I've...

Here's mine: I've had it for two years now and I guess I should do some maintenance on it. It doesn't get hard use but I guess an oil change is probably in order.

I own these and love them. I have a steel building so I just stick them to one of the trusses. I plan to order another one or two soon, Derek! : )

Here's my 80x60 so almost the same amount of square footage you're looking at. I didn't build any interior spaces though.

Yeah I don't think those are what I saw. The clamps on the show were very big and heavy duty looking with what looked like a substantial shaft. The hex on the end was much bigger too. I'll keep an eye out for the rerun and will try to pause it and read the markings on it next time. I...
