It is on the rear of the engine, so the PTO shaft did have to be uncoupled. They gave you almost enough room to not be able to do it. lol One tech I spoke with said you have to move the motor forward, but his buddy in the back said no you don't. Turns out you don't. Went easier than it...

Replaced the broken fan belt on my Kabota tractor. Not your typical fan belt job... Started sorting some very seldom used tools to make better room for more often used ones.

Anytime you don't have to roll it around and can leave it on the floor without casters you are money ahead.

I got the flat sided 3/8" socket set from Milwaukee recently. I have not used them much yet, but I like them. They also came with a set of their Screwdrivers. They may now be the favorite set I own. I also use their slip joint pliers at work. I just bought a small 1/4' socket set of gear...

Caution shade tree idea ahead... My garage is small 18-24, I attacked an adjustable angle floor fan to the back wall. About eight feet up, in the winter I aim it down to pull the heat down. In the summer it is aimed upward to push warmer air out the door and allow cooler air in. Cord hangs...

As industrial maintenance I have had many times where we had to work on live equipment. And needed insulated tools. Most often is making an adjustment to a board while running. Or checking connections on a machine while troubleshooting an issue. But at home I can't see any reason to work on a...

I like the release button, I think you did good. A little lube helps lots of things.

Does not want to roll back up correctly. Keeps jumping out, you have to baby it.

Just an update almost seven years later!! The HF compressor is still going strong. I change the oil about once a year. I have replaced the hose in the hose reel one time so far. I need to do it again soon. I messed up and got a very "soft flexible" hose. The reel doesn't really like that...

I caught this last Monday for $109 on a daily deal. I don't think $119 is a bad deal. I really like the set and the screw drivers are a really nice add...

Maybe they are afraid you would use it to buy a board and they would go under. Seems like lumber goes up by the minute.

Picked it up today at lunch. I like the ratchet. I think they had the 3/8 set on sale for $5 more.

Been meaning to try out Gearwrench, this looks like a good place to start.

If I buy a tool its to use, not to look at. New, old whatever.

I thought the reason most/all overseas ratchets come dry was due to shipping rules. Icom is still a little pricey for me. But I'm sure they would do fine for my mostly home garage use. That socket in the OP sure looked like it had been hammered on to loosen a bolt. Brake work is hard on...

I don't use 1/2" stuff too often. But when I do I'm pretty hard on it. I have a very old Craftsman that really takes a beating. I think I picked it up over 20 years ago at the swap meet. Yes it has some slop and I have taken it apart and put a bit of grease in it. I have a few other 1/2"...

I have a HF impact set of standard and metric deep well. They are pretty handy when it comes time to bust out the power. They also go larger than my other sets, so I find myself using them pretty regular. My impact is not very strong, I don't think it would really matter for me. But I'm a...

I have one of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/8-gal-2-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-68740.html I have had good luck with it, going on about six years I guess. I have the hose real mounted to the wall right beside it and plumbed in permanent. I would love a bigger tank, but 2HP suits...

For my home garage, got a discount, missing keys. 100 lb drawer slides and swivels rated 1000 lbs. Was gonna put my top box on it, but I like the added work space. Reminder to self, gotta dump that trash can... :lol:

I have two sets of the HF stands. They are gray and solid as a rock, not sure what tonnage they where rated at. I am not working on dump trucks, but I trust them for anything I can get in my garage. As someone mentioned, they are kind of "high profile".
