So my 220v craftsman air compressor won’t start. How do I test this start cap with my mm? I’ve watched a few videos but just don’t understand it yet.

Can one of you identify the make of this lathe?

So over the past two months we've had folks stop by pitching solar panel programs for residential. I don't completely understand the deal, but you have the system installed, a portion of which can be paid for with tax credits. Bla bla bla. I'm curious if you have seen this in your state and what...

I'm a member of a photographic forum, and they have a deal on their discussions that all response are suffixed with [OP] to designate them as the original poster (duh). I found it's pretty helpful to follow the thread. Just thought I'd mention it. Don't ban me for life :bounce:

Ive got a DBA clicking away in my 07 mustang. So im testing the 3 i can get to and managed to lose one of the little plastic clips on the power connection. It seemingly vanished. Will this prevent the DBA from functioning? Attaching a pic of one of the clips. I also need to know where I might...

So....... my AC spit out the set screw for the main pulley on the AC pump, ordered a replacement and that fits fine, but I am also missing the key to the shaft and nothing I have in my assortment fits. Its an old Craftsman 106.173842 and the key is not listed as a part on anything I have seen.

A good friend gave me an old 2-blade shop fan. In the video below, notice how the electric motor moans to life. At about 15 seconds in in full spin,even tho the video doesn't show that. Is the electric motor dying and is there something I can do to revive it? Thank you for reading. -chaz

Hello Gang, Need some input. I have developed a leak in my dormer and i need to repair. The issue seems to be the outside sill that has rotted. The house was built in the 80s and the windows ****. The inside has no trim, the outside has a small aluminum trim piece thats missing, and thats...

Hello, This week my front DS wheel bearing started to sing so I ordered the replacement part and have it all disassembled. Problem is the new part, and every part I see online for this model, is incorrect. The rear bearing is all wrong and wont sit down on the spindle. What am I missing here...

Thought this might be a good sticky for the selling forum. Note they are no longer providing refunds for payments sent "friends and family". So, send the payment this way and say bye bye to it if it goes south. https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/upcoming-policies-full?locale.x=en

My 29 gallon cman manifold needs replacing, bad thteads, etc. Id like it to be taller and more accessible. Probably put a new PS that has a on/off lever. Who sells the pieces parts i would need to customize this?

So the pump on my delta is gone and it's apparently going to be cheaper to install a new pump. My questuon is what's the magic in choosing a new pump? I'm confused about hp ratings, for instance. I don't know what the electric motor puts out and the tag doesn't indicate. A volt / amp conversion...

My compressor cut on tonight which it does most evenings. About twenty seconds into the cycle a new terribly loud noise was emanating. It's so loud in the garage I can't stand it. Anyhow, flipped the dedicated breaker and will leave it off until it can be repaired. Any ideas what this could be...

Working with some yellow pine for a swing for the wife. I plan to stain and poly coat it. Have some spots I need to fill but have had crappy experiences with the big box fillers. What's your favorite brand? Thank you.

I have a Cman table saw from maybe the 60's. I love the dial fence so I am torn between getting something modern and not having dado capability. Has anyone added a dado to one of these? My saw has a 7.25-inch blade and most saws use 10 I think.

I picked up this 3/4 steel table today. It has some surface rust, not too bad but I need to clean it. How would you approach.....grinder with wire wheel?

I have a craftsman 5hp portable compressor. Today it developed a noticible hole at the base of the air inlet to the tank. Can this piece be changed?

I am changing oil today in my 12 Sorento. When I tried to take the filter cap off, my socket slipped on the PLASTIC nut on top. I tried vise grips, but I can't put enough force on it to budge it. Apparently the dealership mechanic is impressed with his strength. In any event, what should I try...

I have a nice hitachi nailer for brads up to 2 inches or something like that. I'm looking for something the next size up. Is that a full framing nailer? Sorry for the question, I just didn't know. Like to find something inexpensive.

Sooooo.....oven still isn't repaired. Put in a new control board and still no juice to the oven. Considering going 100% gas, we have a split now. Since I'd no longer need 220 but 110, is this something I can change over without running a new line?
