Did she draw blood or is that red bearing grease? FWIW, an overnight soak in Evaporust will get rid of the rest of the rust. I can't believe the stuff, it's like magic in a bottle. I found a F720A 70th anniversary ratchet today, a little less rust than what you have there, 3 hours later and...

As I understand it, the older ratchets such as yours can't be disassembled without breaking the direction lever. The lever goes all the way through to the back plate and is peened over the back plate, the pawl gear is part of the lever assembly he said. Pops told me when he did warranty he...

New equipment is just as good as a new roll cab! :)

Check out Rapid Air as well, http://www.rapidairproducts.com/ They sell some rather basic pneuamtic industry components as a kit form. Super easy to run and you don't have to screw around with threading pipe to get custom lengths. If you want to add a drop somewhere that you didn't...

Yeah, but all of the above are just flat out fallacies! 6pt vs 12pt is just an opinion. :bounce:

You have to watch out with eBay and know exactly everything about what you're buying, you need a lot of buyers-knowledge, if you would have had it you would have known Snappy doesn't sell a ratcheting crowsfoot. That being said, seller has 100% feedback that he's surely not willing to lose...

Not that it's needed after all of the other comments but.. take them off. As others have mentioned, you can't balance them without doing that. An out of balance blade will start eating up spindles and bearing quickly. Spindles aren't exactly cheap items to replace. Do it right the first...

Both for me as well. I picked up a Milwaukee v28 set two years ago and I LOVE IT. The circular saw is just as good as most corded saws (though it's setup for a lefty!), the hammer drill is every bit as good as my corded Bosch (if not better) and the sawzall is great too (though it would be...

It depends on the usage. Nearly all 240v lighting, motors, welders, big window A/C's, etc only require hot + hot to run. Obviously we add a third conductor as an equipment safety ground. This is refered to as 2 pole 3-wire grounding 240 (L1, L2, G) Very few things need 4-wire 240 (aka 3 pole...

Chris, I agree that some are wrongfully being forclosed. Though it's a bit of a long shot for someone to lose all of their belongings like you have described. A general "initial" is nothing more than changing locks (and if it's pre-sale, it's only one lock on a seconday or rear door) and...

Electrical is pretty easy, especially basic ressi stuff like this. Any questions or clairifcations, give us a yell. I'm quite well versed as are a few others on this board.

It's funny, you guys are what, 350'ish miles away, we don't work for the same sub nor for the same national, but we use the same terms. We've been getting slammed with initials, thank god winterize season is over! Well, for the most part at least, we still have a few mortgage companys and loan...

This isn't neccesarily true. Many times in our industry we are only approved to remove "health hazard" items, things like paint, thinner, solvents, oil, chemicals, fuel cans, food, "mixed" garbage, etc. I got the tractor and the snowblower because they contain oil and fuel, thus it's a...

That motor isn't a dual voltage motor. If it was, it would show 115/230 on the nameplate. As this one shows only 230v, it can't be wired for 120. You have a 4HP motor which draws 3000w, even if it could be wired for 120, you would still have to install a new outlet with 10/2 and a 30A...

According to the manual, http://www.harborfreight.com/manuals/46000-46999/46604.pdf it's a straight 240v motor only. I would be *highly* surprised to ever see a dual voltage motor on anything from HF, they're more expensive afterall. Running a 240v line isn't difficult. For air compressors...

So I just finished cutting grass and it dawned on me.. My 86' Kubota G6200H diesel garden tractor was another freebie from a repo. Not mine, but same model in nearly identical shape, same rust and wrinkles on the hood even. The fender pan has a crack in it (the entire fender deck is...

We handle south west PA (Pittsburgh area). We used to do everything, evics, initials and REO/housekeeping services, but we've scaled back to doing just initials / work per bids and grass cuts. Evictions started getting to... interesting and REO/housekeeping just doesn't pay well for the work...

I've been quite partial to John Deere "Super Lube" Synthetic Dri Film lube. I'm not sure who makes it for JD, but I like the stuff quite a bit.

Treo, who are you subcontracting for? Safeguard, MSC, LPS? I'm in the same line of work, I've been doing it for about a year and a half now. I don't think most people "in the real world" have any idea how others can live, if you guys saw the condition of some of these places.. It's unreal...
