While I'm replacing my cylinder I'm also changing the oil. The manual says 10 weight non-detergent, non foaming hydraulic fluid or drex III atf. Will this work?: http://www.autozone.com/greases-and-gear-oil/hydraulic-fluid/coastal-640-oz-economy-aw-32-hydraulic-oil/540135_0_0 The only thing...

The cylinder on my bendpak hd-9xw developed a leak so I purchased the seal kit to try before replacing the entire cylinder. Have anyone on here done this and can offer some points or a how-to? Thanks, Matt

I am looking to either stain or paint our patio. The problem that I see with acid stain (I've used Kemiko twice in the past) is that the patio is made up of three concrete sections that were poured at three separate times over the past 10 years which I think would definitely show due to the...

So I was given this old parts washer which is in pretty good shape (no holes) just needs a little sanding and painting on the outside. It did not have a motor/pump so I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on what I need? Thanks, Matt

Does anyone know what the shelf life of this is? I was trying to stain a small section of my shop where the tool room is and applied the stain as I have done before (in our house) but the stain did not take at all. The concrete looks just about like it did before I started. This bottle was...

I'm wanting to start bringing our boxer out in the shop to hang out while I'm working, however, with doors open she will be long gone in a short period of time. I thought about stretching a cable across (shop is 40x60) the top beams and fastening a long lead which would allow her a great deal...

I am about to begin building a lean to behind my shop. Actually, it will be a stand alone structure as I didn't want to put the extra weight on my back wall. Dimensions will be 54'x20' deep. Height will be 15' sloping down to 13'. My question is about the gauge and anchoring of posts. The...

I have finished installing my hd-9xw and before putting a vehicle on it I adjusted all ladders so that they all clicked in sync when rising. I put my truck on and started raising the lift to find that they all click at different times it seems. They are all within less than or close to a...

Does anyone know if these drip trays will work with the bendpak hd-9xw lift? http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200442139_200442139 Thanks...

A friend of mine used this method to mount his electric hoist in his metal building. It is bascially 2 3ft pieces of 3/4" black iron pipe that the hoist mounts to and then two pieces of chain hanging it from the beam (connectors on end are just in case it slides which it has never done). He...

Is anyone using this setup? I'm considering buying this for my shop...uses will be general air tools, some blasting, and eventually painting the actual car I'm working on. Will this satisfy the needs of clean air or is there a better option for equal or less money...

I just got my new compressor setup tonight and filled it with oil to the correct level. While letting the tank build up pressure, I noticed the oil has a foamy look to it through the sight glass. Is this normal? The compressor is brand new, it is the IR 5hp 80 gallon model from tractor...

If your shop is plumbed with copper airlines, please post some pictures. I am getting ready to run pipe and would like some ideas. Thanks...

Finished building my tool storage/work area inside my shop. Got some great ideas on here so thought I'd share a few pics. The other room next to it is going to be an office and kitchen area. The wood used is cypress that was from an old home built in the early 1920's that was being torn down...

I have a 40x60 steel building and am wanting to build a lean to on the back 60' wall. I would like to build it out of treated lumber but that may not be best so I need some suggestions. If I do use treated lumbar, how do I attach the rafters to the existing building? Could I bolt a 2x10...

I am staining our patio using Kemiko acid stains (2 colors....tan and black). I also have scored a design in the center of the concrete that the black stain will be used for. My question is do I need to cover up the design during the application of the tan color or do I spray the entire...

I've got my first layer of mud on and I see this is going to be a long process for me. Is it possible to instead put on some of the thick paintable wall paper that is used to put over paneling to give a drywall look? Seems like if it would work good it would be much easier than sanding and...

I have a roll of 10/3 romex that I was given so I want to use that to run for my compressor (80 gallon Kobal from Lowes). I have a fairly straight run with only one curve that totals about 60 feet. Reading on here and what I have read about code in regards to romex in emt, it seems if I use...

Is this possible? It seems feasible but like a ton of work. Just an idea and was wondering if anyone has done it and if so could you provide your input.

Like the title says I'm running service to my shop from my existing 200amp panel in my house. I'll be running 4 #3 wires (copper) in conduit all the way and it will be buried. Two questions: 1. The conduit with the new wire will cross over the existing direct burial wire that feeds my main...
