After 20+ years it was time to replace the wood bed on my 20' car trailer. Had a hard time finding acceptable 2x8s at HD, but found enough. Got home and installed and within one day the ends of boards starting splitting and cracking, some quite a ways up on board! Not worth tearing them all...

Here's mine!

Have a brand new fuel tank that I decided to powder coat at home. That was a mistake! The solder/braze on the filler neck and vent tube ****** melted off! I know they can be brazed back on, but not having done a lot of brazing, is there a particular rod material I should use? Or just take it...

Way cool! Let me know......

I didn't see on Milton's site where they have a safety coupler for "V" high flow? Did I miss it?

So, moving my compressor into my other garage I decided to switch everything over to the Milton high flow V-style couplers and *******. I've noticed they are very hard to connect together. Is that indicative of these couplers? My son can barely get air tools connected and it's a little...

Broke my blade guard on my 10" Delta compound miter saw, model 36-075. Delta does not support this saw anymore. Anybody have one?

So, what battery maintainers are better than BT?

John, Sorry, I thought I had responded, but see I didn't. I believe that cooler is Hayden #1260 oil cooler. Can't take credit for the idea of using it; got the idea from a few guys here. It has 3/4 NPT female threads that I needed for ease of plumbing. It seems to do a pretty good job of...

On the same subject, how about kitchen and bath sinks and toilet lines? My buddy just had $30K worth of damage when a braided water line at the kitchen sink failed from a bad factory crimp; line was about 7 years old. What's the service life for these lines?

After my CH single stage pump on my 80 gallon compressor went bad, I installed an Eaton 2 stage pump on some recommendations from board members. Had to do make some modifications like remounting both the pump and motor to get everything lined up and buying a 4" double groove pulley for the...

Boy, that is exactly what mine did. I remember thinking that it was weird that the pump turned free once I got into it and then not finding anything catastrophic in tear down. But, I did remove the line coming off the head unit while the tank was draining, so there was some pressure on the...

Re: So, my compressor locked up, now what? Update Thanks all, I think I'll join Shoot Summ and get an Eaton. My tank is rated for 200 psi so that's not a problem. My compressor is in an enclosure, so I'm not too worried about a guard as no one can get in without tearing it apart. One issue...

Yes, the piston skirt was galled pretty bad. This is a total splash oil system.

Re: So, my compressor locked up, now what? Update So, tore the pump down and looks like a piston/rod failure. After it cooled it must have loosened up as the pump wasn't locked. Here are some pics of the damage; galled rods and piston, but the crank and cylinder wall doesn't look too bad...

I have a 2008 Campbell Hausfield 80 gallon, single stage, dual cylinder compressor that locked up on me yesterday; tag says 16 cfm @ 90 psi. The motor is still good as it smoked the belt pretty good! I've run it pretty hard with sandblasting, powder coating, air tools, etc. I do part time...

I have a 80 gallon CH compressor with a 5HP Emerson continuous run motor rated for 22 amps. I noticed in the instruction manual that they want 8 gauge wire supplied to it. But then I noticed the short run wire for the motor coming off the unloader is only 10 gauge. Why would they want 8? Are...

The thread size coming off of the heads is 3/4 npt. The lines coming off them are actually 1/2 copper

I have a 80 gallon single stage dual piston CH compressor. I am adding an intercooler and noticed the lines coming off the compressor heads neck down to a 3/8 line feeding the tank. That seems a little small to me for all that volume from 2 big pistons. I bought it new so it was like that from...

Jepper, How did you glue the small (1/2?) PVC to the large main tube?
