I've had a brown Kennedy machinist chest and roller for over 40 years. Good stuff but talk about boring. I sold off a black and gold (hello '77 Trans Am!) 42" Homak chest and roller in 2018 and bought a big 72" lime green roller with 44" & 26" chests. Still love it. Will always love it.

It might be worth a call to C/H to ask if your tank has a RFS guideline. Of course that's a bit like asking your barber if you need a haircut. :)

Justin, Your tank is 22 years old. Before you spend any money on rebuilding/replacing the pump, you might want to look over your tank for a mfg. date and more importantly, a remove from service date. Campbell/Hausfeld does have them. Mine did. I have a Campbell/Hausfeld from the same era that...

Congrats on your new lift! I've got the same lift. All of our vehicles easily fit on the ramps except my old pickup. On it, I just center up using the first posts/cables and the door mirrors. The outside edge of the tires on it go to the outer edges of the ramps if I centered it up perfectly...

If you are looking for a more reliable motor contractor than Square D, I'd highly recommend Allen Bradley.

My local family owned tire shop uses Napa Jacks. The kid told me they last on average about 90 days in constant 6 days a week use. He said they don't rebuild them, they just toss them in the dumpster and have Napa drop off another. Crikey! At $143 for a new seal kit, I can see why. He also said...

Disconnect the power (breaker off) and remove the fan cover from the rear of the motor. Check the contacts on the centrifugal switch. Are they welded or burned? Does it have a centrifugal switch? If not, open the box on top of the motor. Does it have capacitors in there? Are they bulging or...

True. The peeps at my local HF store were awesome, they helped me uncrate the 72" roller, inspect it and then used their forklift to lift it off the shipping pallet. They even helped me roll it up the ramp door in to our enclosed trailer. The 26" & 44" chests were in boxes, but only the 26"...

Oh man, that *****. I guess I was lucky, every bit of my US General stuff showed up in perfect condition. I was very concerned when one box was punctured but luckily, the chest inside it was fine. I guess if you can't easily swap it out, going for the discount is your best and only option. Is...

I follow them on FB and they are almost always doing a show somewhere. If they don't have a show near you, you can probably still get the show pricing if you call Tony Weber or Stacey and ask nicely. :) I have seen the show lifts going home with people afterwards. They've done some clever...

I have an Advantage SS9000-XLT and I've seen a Backyard Buddy. While they are quite similar in concept and looks, I doubt there are any interchangeable parts between the two. IMO, they are both fine lifts. The difference for me is Advantage was right up front about pricing on their website and...

I have a now old Snap on YA700B that I paid top dollar for when it was new, back around 1990. With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, it isn't a great jack. Turns out it was just a rebranded Lincoln jack and Lincoln is long gone. It doesn't get used much and it has been rebuilt twice now. Both...

The top picture is the pressure relief valve. It only pops open in case the pressure switch (your second picture) failed to shut off the compressor. It protects the tank.

You're gonna love it! Don't kick yourself, we all feel like doing that for crawling around on concrete for years, decades even, until we get a lift. The delay in adding a sliding/rolling jack is only worth a little extra slap the next time you put on aftershave. :lol: I was considering adding a...

The flare wrench crowfoot sockets I ordered showed up quickly but I'm just now getting around to posting pics. They look awesome and I sure could have used them on a job about a year ago but I know they'll save my bacon one of these days. I seem to remember the figure is 210* of rotation.

:rocker:

Sorry, I'm a bit west of you so I can't recommend anyone in SoCal. But when I was looking to buy a lift, finding dealers that just sold lifts vs. dealers that sold, installed and serviced the lifts they sold was just as important to me as the features and price were. I chose to go with...

I've had my green 72 for over a year now. Still as happy with it as the day I bought it. Unbeatable value.

I'm not StormcrowAz, but it looks like we possibly have the same brand, Luxe Bidet as he does. They are a very well made and very well supported product. (no affiliation) Ours are the NEO 185 model. We much prefer the add on bidet attachment to the fancier bidet seat with the nozzle(s) built...

When the lift is completely lowered, you're going to need to know the dimension from the floor to the top of the runway. Some rolling/sliding rail jacks hang lower then others and will therefore hit the floor first when you lower the lift. On the other side of the coin, some are taller and might...
