in wild-bill's picture the acetylene is a 40cuft also known as a "B" Tank and needs an adapter to use regular regulator, local welding supply has the adapter. It would also need a key wrench to turn on and off, most of the time people loose the keys and they use vise grips. The oxygen bottle...

I just purchased a bunch, take a look around for used tanks or sometimes shops closing craigslist etc are good places but of course be careful of rental tanks... I paid $120 for a 244cuft oxygen bottle used, and costs $45 to fill here. I just purchased a bunch of other bottles as well. I...

well looked at the jack a bit more tonight, took out the big pipe wrench and opened it up. Yup the first stage was seized. and there was no where near enough fluid in it. So I took the top half down to princess auto/pal hydraulics and the guy there used the 50 ton press and pressed the ram...

So I was looking around for a 2 stage transmission jack but here in edmonton cheapest seems to be about $500, not wanting to spend that type of money I went over to the local KMSTools here today and found a 2 stage transmission jack, but it was in the defective area.. I figured what the heck...

because mine is an open front it has to be bolted down. there is way too much inward pull and you can actually see the hoist flex inwards when I left the diesel pickups up on it.

I did actually get it up and running and all welded up... have the 97 vw in the air at the moment on it. Do you have any of the Hydro Pack stuff, or nothing at all? I can take some pictures of the pump/reservoir and the electronics. I power mine with a contactor as well that was left over...

thought of another question actually, we have been trying to figure out a way to add a limit switch to the hoist as well because different cars, trucks, vans go on the lift and we have a 10' ceiling right now and I know someday it will happen that someone isnt watching the height.... I am...

Thanks for all the help I think I have it all figured out now, the coil is a 120V so I need to pull a Neutral from the panel to A1 on the coil.

So I stopped by the hydraulic shop today and he pretty much explained how everything works... he wasnt sure about the contactor setup though and he said by the motor size I wouldnt need a contactor for it, just 2 push buttons to interrupt the hot wires basically making them switched. the motor...

So I got an old 4 post hoist, and I am fixing it up, but the contactor and the remote switch were missing, I have a spare contactor from my compressor that I didnt need, and I picked up a box and a single push button switch today for the switch now I just need to wire everything up, just not...

and here is some more of the wires and contactor... Like I said any help with the wiring and what I could use as a switch would be great, the pressure solenoid is rated for 220V 60Hz and the contactor can more then handle this. and I also have the relay, just not sure how everything would be...

okay finally got around to unloading the hoist and doing some work on it. had to cut the inside beam out and weld in a new flat bar for the roller to run on. Now I still need to do a few more repairs like some broken air lines, but I did get everything squared up and hiltied to the floor...

I picked up an older baymate 4 post alignment hoist today, needs a bit of work but does anyone know where I could get a manual for how all of the pulley's and cables go together on it. from what I understand this is the same as an arcanos... there is no model no on the hoist but there is a...

I have a Rigid 1450 14 Gallon Shop vac with the extra filter bag, I use it on the blast cabinet and the noise is no more then a built in vac, you can also get the extra muffler for it for another they say 25% reduction in noise... but that dosnt bother me since when I am using the cabinet the...

look for killz primer sealer works really well on OSB, and then use Exterior paint over top, interior paint just soaks into the OSB too much. or you could use exterior paint with primer in it and get it covered in 2 coats.

figured I would update this with the latest pics of the inside being finsihed with osb I have changed a few more things since these pictures were taken, the cabinet with the license plate was cut up, the bench now has 18 gauge sheet metal on the top of it, added a parts washer, a shelf above...

well cleaned it all out and put it back together, the motor didnt work so hot unless you tapped it with a mallet. So i went by the auto rewind shop today for new brushes and he didnt have any, had to go over to a place in edmonton here called carbon rewind and they made me a new set of brushes...

So I got a Chicago Electric 8000Lb winch given to me and I figured I would put it on the trailer, but before I mount it I am thinking about maybe rebuilding / upgrading parts in it.. it currently has a permenant magnet mount motor and I was thinking maybe I could upgrade that to a series wound...

I do have another air supply, 5 HP, 2-Stage, 80 gallon, Techquip Compressor, I am just wondering say if I wanted to build a new car hauler if this would be enough to get the job done or if I should just save up a bit more and get the thermal dynamics from the local welding shop.
