Hello so I have a gas powered 13hp 60gallon Eaton air compressor that's maybe 5 years old or so. Sometimes it seems to take what I think is to long to refill. If you hold your hand over the tube for the air filter on the one cylinder it will pretty much **** a paper towel up, the second piston...

Picked up this vise knowing it had some sort of thread issue. Well it looks like someone torched a hole in the back slide for some reason and bunged up the threads behind the nut. Well only way to do anything is to get it open. Forced it all the way and you can see the results. Thinking about...

Hey everyone, picked up a late 90's Miller Bobcat 225G. Has the Kohler 18hp engine with 3500 hours or so. Runs good, and welds so thats good. Question is, sometimes when you go to start it there is nothing(no clicking, no engine rotate, straight up nothing) turn the switch back and turn it back...

Hey everyone, I would like to remove the zinc finish off of quite a few washers before welding on them. What kind of methods are you using? To time consuming to flap dish each one. I have heard you can dump them in vinegar and wait a day or so and then just wash them off. Will that work? Not...
