I recently acquired a Belaire model 5026VP 2HP air compressor. Great price because the unit had a slow leak from the gasket of the oil pan. The original gasket was rubber and seemed to include silicone or some similar sealant around the corners. Replacement fitted rubber gaskets for this are...

Can anyone that has a spitz lift lift please tell me what the thickness of the aluminum tubing and c-channel is? I am fabricating a light weight aluminum truck crane. It looks like the thickness of the aluminum is .125 inch, but there doesn't seem to be any way that thickness could hold 900...

Thank you very much, I think you are right. The attached photo is from the manufacturer website. It says "Isolated electrically from the protector’s circuit, the switch works in unison with the power contacts and provides indication at a remote location of the protector’s on-off status...

Hello. I currently have the circuit breaker depicted in the first photo for a small 2500 watt generator (the one in my hand). It is a single pole circuit breaker. The switch has broken off. The 2nd photo shows a new one from eBay that has the same specifications (240 volts max, 20 Amps, 25...

Thanks! When I called the original seller, he asked "do you have a strong back?" Faced with a really good deal, I told him it was "strong enough" (lie). Well when I arrived he asked me to try to lift it myself into my truck (he previously hurt his back on the same anvil), so only wanted to...

I have a response from the Fisher & Norris Factory Museum. I would highly recommend the page, there are hundreds of great anvil photos and history. It can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/FisherAnvils/ The response is: "Yes, it is a Fisher. No, it is not broken and welded at the...

QUOTE] Looking at that one it seems like it may have broken at the waist and then been welded as a repair. There was a sizeable anvil repair industry at one time. Yeah I think you are right. It does not resemble the casting on any other part of the base. It looks like... well, a weld line...

Doesn't seem to respond to Arthur. I tried, but it just sits there with a hard look on its face.

I purchased this 250 pound anvil last week from someone on craigslist who was moving and could not take it with him. It was $300. He said that it was a Fisher from the 1950s. it does seem to be a Fisher based on the stamp. It had two layers of paint (now almost removed), as you can tell by...

The attached acetylene torch is being sold on my local Craigslist. He will take $180 (posted for 200). I want to learn to use a torch for hobby welding and for metal cutting. The man selling said the torch was a Victor. Obviously this thing has not been inspected recently. My questions are...

The anvil ended up selling for $280, so overall I am happy with the experience and the purchase. Because I like to make my life hard, I took that money and purchased the anvil depicted in these photos for $210. It is a Peter Wright, a little under 100 pounds. I overpaid, but want to try the...

For better or worse, I pulled the trigger on it. I'm a sucker for a project. Here it is after an of using a wire brush grinding wheel and some oil. I used some sidewalk chalk to highlight the markings, but they actually don't do it justice - the markings have good depth. Overall I'm happy...

Probably clean it up and flip it unless I really like how it looks in my garage. I do not blacksmith.

This is being sold for $150 firm on local craigslist. Looking at it this evening. Comes with base depicted in photo. According to seller: "Weighs approximately 129 pounds, about 20 inches long and 10 inches tall... Has surface rust, I cleaned some off with a brass bristle brush and it does...

Thank you. Each of the pieces does in fact have a "v" in the part number. Attached are some photos. After further Inspection, I do not think these have been used before. Each of the pieces has "FV" in front of the number. The steel box has "KRA-128"

Thanks everyone for your feedback and advise. I decided to purchase the set. It certany was not a steal (I paid $100) but I enjoy the quality and it will make a fine gift to one of kids in several years.

Good evening, I've wanted to get a good Snap-on socket wrench set for some time, and the one depicted in the photos has come across my local craigslist. The set meets my needs but I don't want to get taken for a ride. The seller is firm at $100 and I'm having a look at the tools tomorrow. I...

Appreciate everyone's feedback. I went ahead and purchased these. Good customer service at Enco and UPS shipping by Friday this week (2 days) for $10. Tax free since I'm in Texas.

Enco has what appears to be a very good deal on a set of Silver and Deming USA made high speed steel drill bit set. The link for the set is located here: http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PMAKA=240-6548 I realize the limitations of silver and deming bits, but I do not have the ability right...
