The maximizing the new shop to be able to handle at least one usable working bay makes the most sense to me. So the 24' deep by 21.5' wide would be the way to go, with the overhead door offset to one side. The 24' deep would give you some room around the ends of a lift that is offset to one...

Current shop is 20x40. I can get two cars into it, one behind the other as the door opening is in one of the 20' ends. For much longer than I like to admit, I have had one project that is sitting side ways at the far end of the shop. The car sitting across the end is a 65 Mustang that I was...

Everyone, thanks for your inputs so far. I was thinking that the price was a bit high. I am planning a shop upgrade that will include a lift but I really do not need it yet as I am no where close to being able to install it. So I would have to store it until needed. Something I would do for...

I have a line on a used Rotary SPOA9-200 lift. I have only seen it in photos so far but it looks in fairly good shape. It is still installed so I should be able to see it in action if I decide to go look at it (it is about an hour away). At 9000 lbs it should lift anything I would want to but...

Here are some photos my trailer jack (including the battery charger set up on the trailer battery). I had forgot that the hook up was even simpler than I was thinking. It only has a hot wire that runs to the battery, it grounds thru the trailer frame (the hot wire looks to be 12 or 10 gauge)...

The jack has worked well for me once I quit blowing the fuse. I will be up by the trailer later today and I will take a couple of photos of it.

I had a 25 plus year old Lennox system that worked well for me with very few issues (the A/C never needed a new charge). A few years ago I replaced everything when the A/C compressor died. My friend who is an HVAC guy told me that we maybe could find a new compressor but it would be most...

My jack was not set up as a prewired unit. It has long red and black wires coming off of it that I ran along the trailer tongue and into the trailer. My big trailer battery is mounted in the front of the trailer, just off to the right side and the jack harness was long enough to make it to the...

I have a Northern Tool electric tongue jack on my enclosed car trailer. I found that it does require a very good ground to work well. I also found out that if I was to run the jack up so far that the foot on the leg hit the outer tube that it would blow the inline fuse in the jack hot wire...

I have a pole-top disconnect also and it has proven to be very handy (central Iowa area). I have been able to do pretty much anything I need under it. I have a 200 amp under ground service to the house and a 150 amp under ground service to the shop that also feeds most of my other...

As already talked about, 1/4", 5/16" and 11/32" are used on machine screw nuts and hose clamps. I have also needed them at times on my older (1960's) cars (most the time under the dash on screws where there is not room to get a socket on). Also as someone said the 1/4" size comes in handy to...

Something like a real heavy duty ATV loading ramp?

Good luck with Hobart.

Just to make sure that they are 304/316 sst, try to stick a magnet to them. If 300 sst, the magnet will not stick.

I live on a state highway. About once a year a state snow plow driver will hit my mail box when clearing snow. The state DOT will replace the mail box when this happens. A few years ago after a bad year when they took out the mail box three or four times the local DOT guys put the box up on...

We have townships here in Iowa also. There is an elected township trustee but to be honest I do not know what if anything that the trustee or the township does (I am sure that there is something or there was something in the past). We have lived in the country, about five miles from the...

That looks pretty much like my first welder that I got at least 35 years ago. It was a good welder that held up well (I ran a lot of wire thru it). The only reason that I replaced it was that I started to do projects that needed more power and more adjustablity (my welder only had two power...

I have used one a number of times on early model and FOX body Mustangs and find that the leveler does help a lot. I like to pull the engine and transmission as one unit and the leveler makes this much easier. I have found that at least on the leveler that I own that it is easier to use it...

I have seen people paint it with gray porch/floor paint. You can get the paint with grit in it or you can just buy grit to put in whatever paint you want to use.

Same for me
