    4' x 10' Fabrication Table

    4' x 10' Fabrication Table The company I was working for shut down and I bought this fabrication table before it went to auction. I was hoping I could use it at home but I just don't have room for it. I even tried putting it against my wall hoping that I could keep it here until I expanded my...

    How to store grease guns

    I just keep mine in a blue shelf bin with an absorbent pad in the bottom. I don't think I've ever changed the absorbent pad.

    Just Bought This Air Compressor

    I got all the items I need to repair everything so sometime this week I'll be getting it all taken a part and hopefully put back together right and running good and strong. I actually got all the parts last week but we also had our twins born so they've been dominating our time but it's worth...

    My Cramped Three Car Garage

    Thanks! It's a 1984 FJ60. I've got an Old Man Emu lift for it and a factory 4-speed with a Fairey overdrive unit ready to go in it. Just need to get my air compressor up an running so I can paint the front axle and use an air hammer to finish removing the leaf springs.

    My Cramped Three Car Garage

    I made some progress last night and this afternoon. A few weeks ago I couldn't even get to this corner and now I can park three motorcycles in it and move around. As you can see above and here it still looks very cluttered but I need to organize the shelves. To get everything where I could...

    Marathon 5HP, 3PH, 1740 RPM Motor with Starter

    I bought an air compressor that had this motor and starter on it but I don't have three phase power so need to find it a new home. Both came off a large air compressor that I bought from a military surplus sale and appear to be in very good shape. These were definitely recently added to the...

    My Cramped Three Car Garage

    I live in suburbia Houston and have a 21' x 31' three car garage with a 16' x 31' car port in front. I plan to eventually enclose the car port and expand the garage but I've got twins due any day now so I'm not sure how much time and money I'll have for that. I just completely reorganized...

    Just Bought This Air Compressor

    So any thoughts on seeing oil coming out from the cover of the centrifugal unloader? I really didn't think that part was supposed to have oil flowing through it. Also the little crank case breather on the centrifugal unloader had air coming out of it while the unit was on. I thought air only...

    It did. I bought it through DRMO.

    Just Bought This Air Compressor

    Other than leaking oil through the bolts it seems to be running just fine. I've yet to get it completely up to 175 psi though as the first time I started it I had some air leaks so I fixed those and then the second time I started it I noticed the leaks. I have a brand new air hammer and die...

    Just Bought This Air Compressor

    He meant well and it was done by accident plus they do make thread repair kits so I can't be too hard on him. What are friends for?

    Just Bought This Air Compressor

    I wanted to come back to this thread as I've finally gotten the air compressor re-assembled and running. I wound up just buying a 5 HP motor as others suggested. One issue I'm having is that it appears the guy who helped me put this back together used coarse thread bolts for the 7/16" bolts...

    Swapping Out Nitrogen Cylinders

    I've got some 330 cylinders that used to have nitrogen in them and I'm wondering if the welding supply house will refill/exchange them for a cylinder with 75/25 or Argon? I ask because I've seen that different gasses tend to have different types of valves but many use the same and can be used...

    Pumping Grease

    I'm thinking maybe a better option would be using a pneumatic grease gun that we refill from the bulk container. Plews makes some hand pumps that could refill the grease guns quickly from the drum. On the pumps we replace parts as needed. Mission rebuilds them but will not mess with the fluid...

    Pumping Grease

    We rebuild the Mission Magnums as well as most other pumps. We're a MCM distributor though and that's what we sell new. We take the pumps in and inspect them and we have a few different options as to replacement. We either rebuild them and charge for parts and labor, or we have a core exchange...
