I looked at buying an X lift and I decided to built my own. The cost was a determining factor, And I want the lift to fit all of my needs. I will never use an X lift for automotive work. The cost of materials was $1365.00 in 2002. In 2024, the materials could be 3 times what I paid. The remote...

I have quite a few oilers, I do not have a good reason the post my pictures when others have more and better photos. Instead, I am including a few pictures of an Allison transmission hydraulic brake system. I repurposed the pistons. It does not leak if tipped over. The ceramic magnet came from a...

I bring my MOBB walker so can sit

In the late 1970s, I bought a Speedair twin, For the next 30 years, I abused that compressor by running it double overspeed. I replaced the Speedair with an Ingersoll two stage V twin. This is one situation where a buyer can get z better machine a a higher cost. take note of the COO. I scratch...

I have posted many pictures of my stuff on this forum. Take a look around. Rules is rules y'know.

The best auctions I have attended were on Wednesdays and Thursdays.. The auction is even better if the weather is terrible. Rain and or snow are the best to keep bidders away. If and when the food truck shows up, the bidding falls off. One auction I bought a really big compressor with bad pump...

No vent required. Rip out a page from the catalogue and wipe away

I seldom wash big parts where solvent is a better choice,. I bought a heated ultrasonic parts washer. It works so well. I have derusted parts in the ultrasonic tank with EVAPORUST. The ultrasonic action makes this product work 10 times faster. My son had cleaned many small parts in a water and...

Pull yourself together, Man. That tool is for an outdated way of tuning an engine. The old ignition parts started to wear our as soon as the engine started. Modern engine management systems can last for a million miles and never go out of tune. The old stuff sure looks nice. The Marquette...

I had been buying and selling mostly tool boxes. Other machines, including a few lathes, wondered in and got rehomed. An old lathe like that has more decoration value than it does as a reliable tool. Having that dust collector in your shop will impress your visitors and it will certainly make...
