It needed a pivot link for the brake (which I had), the carb needed rebuilt as it was gummed up, and it needed a new chain. I cleaned the air filter and fuel filter, cleaned the entire saw, and that was it. It runs great and oils great.

I haven't made it to too many yard sales this year, but my dad stopped at one the other day and brought back a broken chainsaw. He paid $5 for it. I joked that I would double his money and he said $20, so I took the deal. Stihl 020T It had been sitting for years in an old barn. The chain...

It Works! It made quick work of the rust on this old hatchet. And then used it to remove the bad paint from my Blackhawk Torpedo toolbox. However, when changing the media out, I noticed there is no filter inside the recirculation/dust collector. Is the bag itself the filter, or should one...

Well I cant say im too impressed with the shipping speed from IDS Blast. I ordered my filter bag and hose nearly 10 days ago. This past Friday I received an email with a question about the hose, I told them to cancel the hose order and just ship out the filter bag. No response despite...

Besides the tools I just picked up that are posted in the Garage Sale thread, I picked up a few new tools as well. First, and ultrasonic metal thickness gauge. I used it to test the steel thickness of my new to me but old air compressor. Just happened to be a Prime Days deal as well. And...

Yard sales have been relatively terrible in my area the past couple years, however I was able to snag a few good deals from Marketplace. Picked up an 80 gallon 2 stage compressor for cheap. It had been sitting in a storage unit. I pressure tested it, and even bought a metal thickness gauge to...

Figured if I was going to put so much into it, I might as well give it the world's worst paint job. I decreased and rolled it on. Time will tell it if sticks. Ignore the green spots, this was before doing the detail brush work. The can said "Dark Grey" but this would be anything but dark. I...

I do wonder if the hose sizes that were on it when I bought it are sufficient though. The main air inlet was a 1/4" NPT quick connect fitting. Then it went through a welded on bung into a regulator with 1/4" npt threads in and out, and then went to a T that branched off to a 1/4" id air hose...

My father-in-law has a glass business, so I removed the glass that was there, taped it up so it wouldnt fall apart and dropped it off to him. He is going to make me a couple pieces of laminated glass. I then stopped at Home Depot and found a gallon of a dark Grey (very close to the color of...

I ordered a bag, gloves, and a few other things I needed. Thanks for the information.

So it would appear the side vents are not factory. Somebody drilled the holes themselves. The actual vent is across the top with built in baffles to keep the dust in. I guess I will have to weld in patches on the vents they drilled.

Yeah, that was my thinking too. If the bag system works, I will go with that. The collector works good on this unit so I dont know what he was doing. He also added air lines and pneumatic cylinders to both sides of the door to lift with the push of the pedal, but its all dry rotted, so I...

I just picked up this cool vintage Peterson "Cleaning Machine" for $250. It needs gloves and glass but everything else works. However, the previous owner did some tinkering on it and im trying to figure out what I need to do to make it right. On the back of the machine is what appears to be...

Yeah, im on the lookout and found a 100 gallon air receiver tank that appears to be in great shape that has an automatic drain, however it doesnt have any mounting location for the pump and motor, so im not sure the best way to tackle that. They are only asking $150 for the tank.

Im sorry if im thread hijacking, but I spent some time cleaning the inside of the compressor I just picked up. When I went to look at it, i didnt notice any water slushing around, but when I got it home I could hear it. I wound up getting a few gallons of rusty water out of it. ****! But im...

Well this is timely since I recently picked up an older 80 gallon compressor and now you all have me terrified. This was my first pro-grade compressor that I needed so I could run a blast cabinet as my 60 gallon Campbell Hausfeld can't keep up. I will be pressure testing it before I put it in...

Very similar to those. Thank you.

You're right, not good pictures. The air compressor has a plastic enclosure with a plastic screw in each corner. The screw goes into an expanding nut in the square hole pictured. I have a piece of the stem of one of the screws but not enough to identify what it is. They are also typically...

I picked up a used air compressor and the switch box cover was off. All 4 of the screws that hold the panel on were missing. Can anybody tell me what these screws are called so I can get some replacements?

Yeah, mine is the standard Campbell Hausfeld. I traded a guy a few boxes of 9mm ammo for it about 15 years ago. Its been a good compressor but not big enough for my needs.
