Thanks Hiball ! 930 dreamer I will take a couple of pictures here in next few days.

Any chance on getting a look at those special sockets needed for rebuilding this monster ?

OK thank I will check it out. Do I just need a pin spanner to tighten the compression nut ? How tough is to build the specialty sockets ? The rest of the jack is really nice seems like I should go through it so stops dripping on the floor ? I assume it is normal for the rod and compression nut...

So I picked a really nice s4 and with a load left on it overnight it is leaking around the outer rod from the packing I assume. Is there a good to reseal it or do I need to dig into and do full rebuild ? If so has anybody done a full rebuild on one these that they might give me some pointers ...

Radiant heat will be more efficient for sure. The shop will feel warmer for sure. Even if you keep at 50 degrees then bump it up 55 when your working you will be comfortable moving around even in shirt sleeves. And everything touch will be warm. That's my 2 cents. FYI I was thinking radiant tube...

Cam or crank sensor would be my guess had ranger that did something similar replaced tensioners belt etc no joy cam sensors where know to go bad bingo no more issues.

Hard to argue with thousands of HVAC techs all they use is a turbo torch for HVAC work. What kind of work are you doing ? Light residential stuff or heavy commercial big line sets ?

I think I would do it you can never have to much floor space. Do need a 10k lift or just want one ?

If you cant find a seal kit you may want to take the seals by a local hydraulics shop and see if they can match them for you also might be a good idea to take the whole unit just in case.

Why not use an air muffler that is what I have on the end of auto drain for my compressor it took the noise down from being unbearable to in garage with it to a quick pssh of air that will startle you but not send you running for cover.

Nice shed build but holy hell that is way way way overkill man. Can I ask why you built a 4 fooot deep foundation for a shed ? I know boulder county gets carried away but thats absurd !

Found a large ATD brand toolbox locally for what seems like a screaming deal can anybody tell if there any good ?

It's a hein werner for sure not sure on the model but I'm sure hiball will jump in or google is friend.

You need to be careful of the gvwr of the truck and trailer setup your building. I don't know if you have a cdl but 26001 gvwr requires a cdl. Just something to think about. Also I would check with dot regs based on your plans to make sure your legal like steve said above. I would hate to see...

check out lisle tap drivers they fit the end of ratchet or extension. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002SRFOE/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Depending on location that is dirt cheap there asking two or three times that for similar machines here in Colorado. This is the kind thing I was comparing the price to. http://denver.craigslist.org/tls/4999339913.html 6500 for 2hp dro and mininal tooling.

I would say it is excellent deal if it was taken care of and not worn out. It looks pretty dirty. So I would be concerned with the conditions of the ways if the dirt and chips weren't kept off them it would mean big issues. But people with more experince will pipe up shortly I'm sure.

I like the bushing/bearing seal drivers ideas a lot. I need to research sizes.

Honestly I'm not even looking for machining related tools. I'm not a machinist I actually do building maintenance. Just looking things useful around the garage/cars.

Ok so nobody has any useful shop tools and projects they made ?
