    Craftsman professional table saw

    Craigslist find model# 152 221 240 it looks to be complete and in good condition. I payed the seller his asking price of $275. The motor sounds good, but I haven't cut anything on it yet. I was kind of disappointed that a lot of the parts have been discontinued and are not available from...

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    When I was young there where coal bins at the railroad siding. All the old row houses had a coal cellar under the front porch. They had to be filled with a scissor lift truck. A lot of those old coal fired heaters where converted to oil or gas and where used for many more years. I'd be willing...

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    Thanks Jim, I am going to flush the boiler like you said. Replace expansion tank and pressure relief valve. Then I need to replace the antifreeze in the system. If I remember correctly 5 gallons brought the protection down to -10f. Should I add the antifreeze to the empty boiler and then fill...

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    I opened the relief valve and let run into a bucket. I wasn't sure I was going to get it to close again. It shut off when I tapped the center pin. When I dumped the bucket I noticed some rust/scale in the water. Is there some type of flush I should be doing? This system has been in use since...

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    Highest point in the system is about 7' above the boiler. It is a standard cast iron boiler 84% efficient. How do you test the the auto fill valve? The gauge said 15psi without the boiler running. It doesn't leak all the time and when it does it's not that much. I had air at the schrader valve...

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    There is 15psi on the system. The expansion tank says 12psi pre charged and yes there is an auto fill valve. I guess that I should drain the primary loop and check the pressure on the bladder of the expansion tank. Thanks, Brian

    Pressure relief valve leaking again

    Three years ago, I had to replace the expansion tank on my heating system. While he had it shut down, I also had him replace the pressure relief valve and air separator just for good measure. Now my pressure relief valve is leaking again. Could it be that my expansion tank has failed after only...

    I just put $525 worth of parts into the same machine. Mine are built in with a counter over them. The new machines are all taller. These machines spin at a high rpm. The new assembly is the only way to go. Good luck, Brian
