That's the least of the worries, they all need to die IMO. I just don't want to spend that kind of money or devote the time to put out that many and check them. I had the problem taken care of last year as we found where the mice were nesting and proceeded to shiska-bob (sp?) all of them long...

When my pole barn was built we set up the floor for radiant heating so all around the slab there is an inch of insulation which goes between the building and the slab. Apparently the mice have started chewing through the insulation as a means of getting into the shop and its a slight...

I can't give you a definite answer but I can tell you how I figured out placement for mine. I got the biggest vehicle I planned on lifting (my 3/4 ton long bed) and took measurements on that from the back wall to see whats the closest I could park it and would still feel comfortable working on...

Sorry I'm taking so long lol, I've had classes from 10am to 8pm every day plus work in between, so I haven't been out in the shop to take new pictures but here's some teasers of when the shop was messier and before I cleaned up the lift, reassembled, and stood the lift up:

When I was looking at switches to buy I bought a 30A g.e. switch similar to the picture you posted. I guess my main reason for getting it was the cost ($25 bucks plus fuses) verses the outrageous prices Grainger wanted for a push button switch. I guess its more of whats your budget and whats...

Thanks for all your advice guys, I wired the lift and finished up the hydraulics completely the other night and I took your advice Charles and bought a emergency disconnect switch too. All and all it turned out great, the lift works and hopefully I'll have some pictures of it up this weekend.

What drawbacks or problems that can arise with not having a disconnect switch? I never heard this mentioned before My breaker box isn't more than 10 feet from my lift

Can someone else confirm this? If I had a switch on one hot wire when it was off there wouldnt be a complete circuit or am I wrong? Its only 110v if I am utilizing the neutral wire what I am not doing i thought... Where/ how does the ground wire come into play in this situation?

Since my camera is acting up let me rephrase my question another way: The motor I am trying to wire is 240v In a 240v circuit you have a 2 hot wires (Red and Black), a neutral (White), and ground (bare) Correct?? If I want to hardwire a 240v motor in general I would connect the ground wire to...

I can get pics tomorrow some time after my classes are over. It is an old Weaver lift Model number AFH-88A. And it is 240v that I plan on hard wiring into the wall From what I remember off the pump data plate its a 2hp motor, 12.6 amps. I'm running it on a dedicated circuit with a 20amp breaker...

First off I will start off by saying I am a newb when it comes to AC wiring, I am aware of all safety precautions and will have the power off when I'm attempting this :shocking: and all my breakers, wiring, and switches are compatible. Short story: I bought a used car lift and just finished...

PM sent, thanks!

I know this is my first post but I hope to be a regular poster here real soon and I'll get some pictures of my shop once we install the lift. About the lift: I purchased a used Weaver from an older Chevrolet dealership last weekend, Its been apart and sitting for about 5 years. I know they...
