So I'm trying to figure out what is best for my new garage. It will get a new slab with pex for radient heating, and to support a two post lift. Its a home shop, and I'll be doing everything from engine swaps, to hotrod and race car fab. At first I thought epoxy was my route, but after reading...

Now that I think about it a buddy had his shop done I'll get the name maybe tomorrow.

Id like to know as well. May do it myself if its too costly.

I think ill be adding a big back bench as well. I just continue the wood benches on the other side of the boxes and remove table and cabnet. Put casters on the table and add it to make a corner wrap around type bench on one of the two sides.

So ive been looking for a good cleaner. I recently got a used front mount intercooler for my daily driver, but its grimmy. I searched for a good solution i could mix up in a tub and soak it over night. Nothing great came up. So for the past couple of days ive been pondering and realized tools...

ooow good call on the cordless. I need one for tire changing at the track.

It seems like one of those things you'll only use once and a while, but when you do you want to be 100% its going to work. Other than the low tq rating i like the ir. About 3 months ago i bought a Craftsman Professional 1/2. It was the highest tq rating for my price range and i needed it that...

I really hope it is possible because im dying to get a lift. After swaping the motor in my brothers car with a typical hoist, i realized having a lift and dropping the whole subframe by lifting the car off would have saved me days!

So much great info here idk where to start. I think you may have convinced me on an older unit. Ill get more bang for my buck since im not worried about doing a little work to get it going.

I just searched for some 318. A bit more than i wanted to spend for something made in the 80's. I may have to start with the cub and upgrade in a couple years if need be.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Im going to keep ky eye out dor the heavyest newer cub or john i can find. What weight range would be ideal for blowing(not counting wheel weights) i dont kind deviating from the budget a bit if i can really get a jump in quality and performance. I have the...

I found a cub cadet tractor with a kholer 23 hp and hydrostatic for 1400. Then maybe come spring get a blowrr attachment. Im going to keep my eye out. I tend to find great deals with a little effort.

Thanks for all the replies, exactly the info I was looking for. Yes I'm looking more for a tractor, didn't realize the diffence. Looks like anything 15+ HP is what I'll need. Going to go with an older one, I'm not worried about working on it too upkeep it. I'm in mass and there seems to be alot...

Also its a little hilly so i guess i woupd need a little extra hp for snow blowing uphill.

So im soon to be in the market for a ride on. I have iust shy of an acre mostly grass. Along with 2 long driveways. Im looking for somethng used. That is fairly priced and has avaiable replacement parts. What are my options? Looking to spend around 1500 max since most of my $$$ is going twords...

Ill start a build thread at some point. Its not technically mine yet so no good pics or anything.

Here is a front view with a side view, its hard to tell the elevation change. In the front view you can see the full height of the garage, and side only shows the second floor and loft area.

Well the slab won't be suspended by wood framing. The bottom bays are alot like a basment of a house, where the walls are foundations for the second floor of bays. The perimeter of the slab will be solidly placed on stone foundation with an exception of the 2 garage door openings. My main...

Thats awsome!!!! How is the lighting with the doors open? I thought i was cool with 4 bays, but geez 3 in the shop and 2 more at the house is perfect. Only thing left once the rest is finished is walls upstairs with a nice tv, couch and desk.

So im passing papers on my first house next month at some point, and im far more excited for the garage than the house itself. The house needs minor work, and elbow grease, but the garage needs quite a bit more. First i need a new roof, simple enough. Wood below shingles should be ok, but we'll...
