My damn Grove lift sprung a few leaks on the cylinders. What about adding 1 cap of brake fluid?

Thank you!

Should I wait more than 48 hours to remove the forms?

Mustang dyno called an IMP. It is a two wheel drive unit with 42 inch rollers. 1000HP 200MPH It's at my man cave one my farm

Success!! I appreciate the help guys! Esecially concretin. I followed your advice and shoed the bottom and added bracing as you described. We put up walens and strong-backs! I learned a lot from this pour. It was much more difficult than I thought it would be. But it is done and no blow outs!

Great info! Thanks

That looks like a interesting pour!

Do you think that would be enough for the bottom plate?

So it's all cleaned out now. I think I have a plan. 1. anchor the bottom plate with concrete anchors 4 per side. 2. I can add a 2 x 6 across the entire bottom. 3. cross brace the bottom 4. order a mixture that is not as watery as the previous mix. (What slump should I specify?) 5. Pour...

I am by no means a concrete expert. I have done a few pours, but only one other one side. It looks like it started to push out on the bottom and then lift the form up.

What if I do a partial pour wait two hours and do the top? I am going to add more bracing and lateral bottom supports but that will allow the bottom to solidify a little first.

Pic of the one sided pour for a similiar pit. I have no idea why his had no lift. Maybe because he had no steel?

I wanted to add. There is also a 2 x 2 x .25 angle steel welded around the entire perimeter of the top of the form. You can see one side lying on the ground with the welded on nuts and j hooks. That is bolted to the outside edge of the wall with 1/4 bolts through the plywood. At this point I...

Here are some pictures If i add anchors to the bottom plate of the forms would that be enough? It didn’t buckle it lifted

I never would of thought it would lift. How do I fix this?

how long does the cleaning bag last

Great work and save!

I have welded stainless exhausts with my laser welder. It does a fantastic job but it has limitations. The pieces need to have "ZERO" gap and be really clean. If that is done the welds are very nice. Like most stainless welding on exhaust pipes back purging is needed.

I guess. I thought we discussed similar problems here…..

I actually have 4 lifts. I have two rotary 4 post and one two post, I haven't had any issues with any! This is the only one I had problems. The two post lift has been in use since 2006. Now that I said that It will probably start to leak. The two 4 post rotary lifts have been in use for...
