Hello, I recently bought the back half of an Omaha work truck that has begun transformation into what will be my mobile welding rig. I'm a hobbyist that is looking for side work. The truck was a yellow/green and there is some discoloration from the roof in rust - but doesn't seem to be any...

Hi, Hoping someone here has experienced this - I have a Craftsman snowblower with two handle levers - one to engage the auger and the other to engage the drive to move it. New - if I engaged the auger then the drive I could let go of the auger handle to adjust the snow throwing direction and...

Hi, Westinghouse Tech support is VERY DIFFICULT to get to - I have a simple question and hope someone on this forum has a similar generator. I bought this last December - it's the Westinghouse 9500W / 12500W peak gas powered unit. Hanging from wires under the handle face was a metal plate...

Hey all, I've read through a number of threads about the Eager Beaver chainsaw's. I got this one free of Craigslist a few years ago - was smoking but ran. Cleaned it up, serviced - now purrs and starts first pull most times. My chain just snapped - it has "mini 370" stamped on the links. I...

Hey all, Anyone else have an Atlas benchtop mill here? I got this from a neighbor quite a while ago. Runs and I've used it to mill some rebar experimenting - I have a lot of fixtures and cutting bits for it. But I think I might need to run through a light resto on it - I hear the head taper...

Hi, Any comments most appreciated - 2013 Toro timecutter zero turn mower - it's only been a couple years with very (very) little use - but think I see fraying on the drive belt - and one of the drive wheels squeals from the belt that isn't quite grabbing. (I may have an alignment/pulley issue)...

Hi, I use a deckless Cub Cadet ride on mower to tow around a garden cart. It's only purpose. Seems though that I'll fully charge a battery (new battery - only 1 year on it - yeah - I know - could sit on shelf for months/yrs b4 selling) it seems to drain down the battery to where the mower...

I have what seems to be a work-hardened bolt that snapped off in an aluminum swingarm on a dirt bike. I need a long bit - 8" or 12" with the chops to drill into and through this 5/16" bolt - I bought a harbor freight carbide drill bit (think twin tip even?) that seemed to be making some...

Hello, I'm about to re-assemble the subject drill - I have the spindle and quill fitted with new bearings and together with the collar & pin as well as the thread protector nut. Any tips for any specific parts are most appreciated - I've degreased as much as I care to and washed up the rest of...

Apologies if double posted, my first run seems to have disappeared. I decreased all internals of spindle, quill and a variety of other parts - used Simple Green. Rinsed and dried - but should I spray with WD-40 to keep from surface rusting while I work on the rest? I'm going to wet sand the...

I just completely disassembled my benchtop drill press and have begun degreasing the steel parts using Simple Green from HD. After scrubbing them and rinsing/drying - do you recommend I spray or rub with WD-40 to prevent oxidation while I work on the rest of the drill press housing, table and...

Hello, New member - I was watching a youtube channel of Jeff's Shop as he was rebuilding the same benchtop drill press I have and he mentioned this site as a good resouce. Hoping someone can offer a tip from experience - I have the threaded collar backed all the way down to the Jacobs chuck -...
