If you can set it up on a machine use a "hi-roc" drill. These will drill up into the upper 50's (Rc) maybe 60(?) [that is really hard]. Harry https://www.maford.com/product-details/20009370 this isn't likely the right size but this gets you the idea

My fear with that stud is you may get that out but split the die-cast housing doing it! I'd at minimum consider using some heat putty/paste to protect your part. There will be considerable force both radially and expansively. I would consider having that stud "lazer welded" (if that is an option...

Don that is disgusting! If you pay the shipping to my house I'll get that eyesore out of your sight! LOL! Can't blame a guy for trying can you? That turned out gorgeous Don! Harry

@kerrynzl sewing is a skill, preiod! It is one I don't have though. But you are also well versed in pattern making, I am ok at that for covers seats, etc. Patterns require an artistic eye as well as an advanced understanding of "3D" geometry, not something that is in abundant supply! I have...

All of mine are in the shed away from my welders grinders, and flame throwers (torches)! Keep gasoline away from bleach/chlorine as they don't play well together, especially with significant heat (100°+ temps)! Harry

If I remember correctly that is the thread used on "Mikuni" carburetor and throttle cable adjusters. At that length I doubt that a "motorcycle shop would have them, but possibly an easy place for you to check. I have that tap and or the die if my thread recollection was correct I needed it to...

@rmack898 are you doing a mini-bike or maybe a new RC toy? I see that little con-rod in your pic, just curious! Harry LOL! I always wanted a Burr King for my shop but could never find one for a price I was willing to pay. Then I worked in a shop that had a Jancy Radius Master and that was an...

My IR 5HP has a Baldor with an amp draw of 26.4 FLA so yeah 15 amps is only a 3HP. Harry

Here read a few of these links to familiarize yourself to the workings of hydraulic systems. These principles do apply to second hand as well. Just more math away! [Area of the plunger (which may or may not be the cylinder rod) verses the area of the secondary process. That would likely require...

Quite awhile back I was inline at Canadian Tire and the person behind me starts giving me grief about the $40 Workmate 4½" angle grinder I have in my hand! Says I should always buy a quality tool! I turn around and inform him no, a top quality tool isn't always the answer [usually yes but] and I...

As stated above on the extend port line anywhere convenient after the valve. If you want retract force same calculation as noted by @nadogail minus the same calculation fot the cylinder rod. IE; cylinder area minus rod area. Retract and extend would require 2 gauges or placing in the supply line...

I'll 3rd Mike's percussion therapy suggestion for the loaders edge. I think it maybe resistant to change though, like getting more work out of a teenager resistant. So with a big piece of steel "tube, C, I or angle iron" and then as @stockrwithalocker suggested a couple of big "C" clamps while...

@Kyrbz I have to wonder why you would hesitate to post that kind of project. Let's see, creativity, ✔️, technical skills, ✔️, play with your tool(s), ✔️ [the steel and metal ones you bunch of deranged ...] most likely in your "garage/shop. So it seems all of the boxes are checked off, so I see...

Doc have you considered drilling your tail stock for "air-ride" with a foot peddle so it floats on air when you want it to? It does help with the friction (A LOT!), inerta not so much, but easier is easier! Harry

I find it hard to believe that spring couldn't be sourced. I bought springs of different strengths [different engagement RPM"s] for one of my go-cart clutches (Comet) I think some actually came from "Jegs" as they had a pretty decent Jr. Dragster section. Here are a few sites worth checking out...

My experience showed me that 2" x 2" x ⅛" tubing isn't good enough for a trailer of that size [mine was 5' x 8-10']. I needed to reinforce the tongue as it was very flexible with just me standing at the front of the trailer. The planned on sides like @kerrynzl shows made the frame good to go but...

If you are running a new wire now, then go bigger. The install costs can be upto many times the material costs. What is the amp requirements of your current compressor? Up size your wire one size [ie; 14g to 12g] but go to **-3 wire [3 conductors plus a ground] with a split breaker. Don't hook...

Not too many currently, 20 years ago there were a few "troubled" area's that resorted to such measures. I'm not picking on the "D" it is an unfortunate part of the life cycle older cities. The bigger they are the more pronounced that effect has, plus until recently Detroit was 10x the size of...

Detroit too! Harry
