Got mine directly from KWIKLIFT in 2006. I use the jack from Northern tool as well. I use 4x4's to lift 1 corner at a time to put on the dollys though. My standard jack is good for the rear cross tube but not enough for the dollys. I also added a steel shakle on the inside front so I can use...

awesome idea! That is my plan for tomorrow

well the carb cleaner just made it more ggoier than before. I went and got some MEK and let me tell you, It cleaned that carb in no time. The passages are perfectly clean. I have a new cleaner in my arsenol! Now I need to clean the 3 gallons of syrup varnish from the tank! Thanks to all.

hit it with lacquer thinner tonight, not much for impressive results. just made everything gooey. I took it over to a friend who has a 5 gal can of carb soak. If that does not work, I'll drop the $75 for a new one. Not worth the effort to create this much of a mess...

well after 24 hours, purple stuff barley did any work. I will hit it with laquer thinner tomorrow....

I just pulled the bowl from the ultrasonic cleaner after 30 minutes with boiling hot water and purple stuff mix. It pulled about 75% off. I will let the bowl soak oversight and see what happens to that before I throw the whole carb in. still a sticky glue/varnish in it....

My neighbor asked me to take a look at a 5200 watt generator his inlaws had. It went into storage in 2004 when they passed away. The tank was 3/4 full and the fuel valve was left open when it went into storage. No idea how old the gas was at the time it went into storage. The fuel in the...

I just spent 35 bucks for 2 John Deere blades. I had some cheaper ones from tractor supply but they were getting thinner and thinner. I sharpen then about twice a year and they lasted about 3 years. Regarding the post about the spindles above. very true statement. Just spent $60 for a new...

Make sure the mower deck is in great shape before buying. John Deere thinks they are made of gold. They wanted almost $500 for just the deck. However, My JD 20HP 42" takes about 40 minutes to cut 1 acre and goes through about 2 1/2 gallons. Comfort wise with the hydrostatic drive and...

I am a hobby / side job painter. I was using an older sharpe and while it was ok, It put alot of material into the air vice the panel and I was never really happy with it. I ended up getting a Devilbiss Tekna Copper. This gun is so smooth and lays paint so much better. I cringed spending...

At work, we have to have double hearing protection ( ear muffs plus the ones that go in the ear canals for continuous >104db or impact 140db. I promise you an air hammer banging away on sheet metal is greater than 104. Protect those ears because once you lose your hearing, it is gone, you may...

I have that engine on my portable generator. After about 5 hours run time the intake rocker came loose and jumped off the pushrod. I fixed that by re-adjusting the valves and has been running great since. Starts right up and no oil consumption. Very quiet compared to my 5 HP mower then...

I have an 18' all steel bed double axle trailer. Dove tail. I welded a bunch of extra recessed tie downs on the bed a a bunch of d rings on the sides. I have hauled everything from cars to ATV's to full size toolboxes to tons of lumber. Have had to repaint once and redo the electrical...

10-2 is ok. just stiffer to work with

I cant even imagine thinking of calling anyone for that. If he wanted it repaired, he should have had the original previous owner do them.

I just filled my 80 CF of 75/25 this afternoon. Cost $28 even.

Being in the medical field, I see these types of injuries all the time. believe me when I tell my patients how bad it could have been without Goggles and gloves or steel boots. Unfortunatly, Not enough people wear Hearing protection when using power tools. As your hearing slowly fades away...

Basic box around mine and insulated with 1" sheet foam. It was decnt with the door closed but soon realized it was getting pretty hot in there if I kept the door shut with prolonged running. I put a thermometer in thier a few weeks ago and it got up to 138 degrees in there. YIKES!!!!! I...

My experience was just yesterday. I called 2 different contractors for an estimate on a bathroom rennovation yesterday morning and both had made thier way to my house within 3 hours of calling them. Both of them were the owners of the buisness and had been in buisness for 24 years and the...

my shop floor is somewhat polished. Love it and spills wipe up easily. It does get slippery if I let it get too dusty/dirty though. no probs w/ water.
