2 bolt onto my pressure washer belt guard to i believe hold the wand when not in use. Dunno what the third larger one does. I need to buy some more. Don't really wanna put these on my restored pressure washer. Thanks

I purchased a heavily neglected belt driven NorthStar pressure washer at auction from a local city public works department. Included with the pressure washer was a 3/8" hose cut in several places which i tossed, and a very industrial type pressure washer gun and rediculous hose which is either...

most of us know that the larger a stand by generator is, the more fuel of any kind it consumes. Most of us also know that the biggest juice sucker in the summer is the a/c unit, then the fridge and well pump if you aren't on city water. We all know about amp draw on electric motors at start up...

I want to add a/c to my 1971 raised ranch. Currently window shakers. I'm very mechanically inclined and do all but the most challanging projects myself. After reading countless hours of threads here on gj, and then countless hours on ecomfort (by far easiest to follow web site for minisplits) i...

Menards had a 35k btu hydronic heating unit on their website. I have hydronic hot water baseboard heat. I assume this is plumbed into my existing hot water boiler and a zone valve is added with its own zone, and the thermostat wired in to my existing service?? I ask because i have my boiler in...

A couple years ago i won and brought home a circa 1992 military generator MEP-002a. Its a 2 cylinder, air cooled onan diesel capable of about 7k watts. This Mobile Electric Plant is a first generation power plant our military forces used from the early 70's to 1992. It is the last model year...

I meant to post this here back in April of this year when this project was completed but time and the summer got away from me. After seeing some other recent postings of Craftsman Drill Press restorations, it promted me to sit down and finally post this. This early spring i started to get an...

A discussion on another site i frequent came up about replacing a leaking hot water tank. My servicestar Natural gas hot water boiler was installed 11-1992. It still works fine but I'd kill to get it out of my garage. My National hot water baseboard boiler is circa 1971. It also works just...

Came across this and it was offered to me for $100. Guy is real nice. Owns a small engine/tiller/snowblower/mower repair shop. I was fixing his phone up for him and this was in his basement. I apologize in advance for nothing of scale in the background or additional pictures. I guess it's about...

I just got a nice lightly used baldor grinder at auction yesterday. Restoring the whole thing. I have it all apart and it will be put back together tonite. The motor is either 120 or 240 depending on how leads are wired. From the factory and currently i will have it at 120 volts. For 120 volts...

Guys. Killer deal on a baldor grinder at auction today. Paid $70. Where can i get parts? Would like 2 cast iron tool rests, and right side j shaped cast bracket for the right side tool rest. And if possible, 4 rubber feet. Can't find ANYONE online who deals in baldor grinder parts? Thanks ...

The conduit box is the little square housing on any electrical motor where the wires pass through from the motor. I'm wondering, say i have a half hp dayton electric motor, a vintage drill press, and i want to mount a switch to the motor itself rather than running wire and appropriate...

So, i'm doing a ground up restore on a model 100 i got for $130. I have the new quill bearings for the pulley up top. I'm glad i decided to replace them, as they were bone dry and only sealed from one side of each bearing. The greae was long gone. I replaced the bearings with completely sealed...

Just installed my new to me coxreels 20 amp cord reel and my coxreels 50' airhose reel is going up tonite. The last thing i'll be hanging up is a cord reel worklight. I have a cheap plastic Cord reel light which i just pinched the sheathing odd with my car jack last week. It's taped up for now...

Purchased a Coxreels EZ-PC13-5012-A on ebay for $150 shipped. It's Coxreels yellow 'safety' model. The yellow has recently been discontinued. It came with a weird blue plug on the reel end, and even more weird is the duplex outlet on the other end. It came via UPS today. The ebay pics...

Couple days away from firing up my quincy compressor. Just need to figure out wiring to motor starter. Been looking at cox and reelcraft. I want maximum flow possible but is 1/2" Id just rediculous for a shade tree mechanic/garage guy? Are there high flow fittings i can use with a 3/8" ID hose...

I would like to run a circuit from the Blue breaker in my subpanel, down conduit into a box. The 12/2 will first hit the duplex GFI outlet for convenience in that locale, then to a switch (to control additional overhead shop lights yet to be installed), then travel back up through the subpanel...

I'm doing a garage remodel and am 75% done. All thats left is painting the ceiling, running some more lighting overhead on one side of the garage, and racedeck flooring this summer. My house i bought in 2012 has a standard chain driven opener for both doors, with 2 standard extension...

I clearly remember reading that either a gfci or afci outlet should be used for auto drain valves for compressors that have solid state circuitry in them. I can't remember which. Anyone know for sure ? Thanks

Hello all. Currently renovating my garage. The whole garage is a train wreck right now as i'm painting the walls so everything has been moved lazily into the center of my two car garage. I have a corner in the garage to the left of my subpanel just above where i store my welding cart which is...
