Hoping someone will chime in. I'm replacing the seals/cups in a Walker 882 floor jack. I already have the seal kit from HCRC. I don't know if the seals/cups that are in this jack are original or already have been replaced. The main 1 1/4" hydraulic rod cup nut was staked on and looked like...

Can someone explain to me how these step up transformers work? I know that in a regular electrical panel, that you get 240 volts from two separate legs of 120 that are out of phase with each other, hence 120 volts from 1 leg to neutral and 120 volts from the other leg to neutral. I picked up...

Looking to possibly upgrade this push in rubber grommet/shut off valve set up for my portable generator. The tank is plastic with a 9/16" dia hole. There's more room to enlarge the hole if needed. I'm looking for something a bit more substantial that would have an internal tank nut/washer. Thanks.

I can't find the manual and there's no model number on the unit. It seems that the blower speed is very low especially when running the AC. I shut off the power at the unit and removed the panel to access the board. Below are photos of the control board along with the a photo of the wiring...

Found these two floor jacks on Craigslist a while ago. The seller originally wanted 200.00 each for them. He relisted them about a month ago for 100.00 each. I really only wanted the smaller Hein Werner. I asked him about a two for one deal, he said take the 2 ton Walker for 25.00! He told they...

I just replaced a B&G series 100 pump at my parents house. I had to turn the pump 90 degrees from the factory position. I used a new gasket per the instructions and it is leaking. I pulled it out and installed a new gasket and it leaks. Does anyone have any experience with these?

I hoping to find out some information on this older floorjack. The only markings that I can see is the 2 ton max cap on the top cover. It's my neighbors and he would like to see if can be rebuilt. Thanks!

Just as it says, the power vent draws from the basement air when running but cold air backdrafts when it's not running. Anything I can do to prevent it? One way flapper valve?

Is it ok to lay a new hot water tank on it's side for transport??

If you do, how has it been working out? If any of you followed my lengthy thread from a couple of years ago, we had neighbor issues and decided to move. So, I ended up with a little bit bigger garage along with a second floor walk up area that measures 16x32' with 8' ceilings. Without getting...

I can pick this press up pretty cheap. need to find out if it works. Does anyone know anything about this brand?

One of my Quincy compressors has the 325 pressure lubed head with the oil filter. I've used the Quincip 100 ISO 30 oil it since I bought it used a couple of years ago. From what I've been told, the Quincip is nondetergent oil that allows any particulates to not remain suspended in the oil...

I had a new breaker panel installed in the garage this past Tues. The electrician put the request in for the inspection. He was told someone had to be at the garage between 9 am and 4 pm to let the inspector in today, Thursday. I was there at 7:30 am till 11 am. My father was there at 10:30 am...

Hi Y'all. In a nutshell, I just found out that the house we're looking to buy has an illegal service hook up at the garage. The garage is detached. Now, follow me here, the house has it's own meter with the mains connected to the pole across the street from the house. No issues there. The...

I don't have a photo of it yet, but if we get the house we put an offer on, I'll be buying the QE-5 Quincy that's in the garage. It's a horizontal 5HP 240v two stage with an 80 gallon tank. Does anyone know anything about this series vs. the QT series? I was able to run it and check it out. It...

Hi Y'all. I'm looking for a Lund Lunar visor model 77012 for a 1997 Chevy truck that also has the built in lights. These visors are more sleek looking that the conventional visors.

I used an AC clamp meter on one leg on my 240v 6hp Marathon compressor motor. While running it was reading around 16.5 amps. I checked the other wire while running and it read the same. So, does that make the amp draw 16.5 or 33.0 amps?:dunno: I'm going to replace the contactor that came with...

Hi Y'all. I haven't messed with a magnetic starter in a while. The last one I installed was about 8 years ago. Anyway, I need to replace a Packard brand C240C contactor in a used air compressor I bought last year. The motor is a Marathon 6 HP, 24 fla 240 volt single phase. I checked the...

Hi Y'all. The unloader on the top of the 325 pump leaks air out of the blow off hole after the tank is up to pressure (see arrow in second photo). I know when the compressor turns on there's a burst of air when it starts and stops, but there's a tiny bit of air leaking out afterwards. Other...

Has anyone here recently purchased a two pack of the Ryobi P108 18V batteries for 99.00 and not had any issues? I bought a two pack about a year ago, and they just don't seem to hold a charge. I'm using the proper charger but when they just sit for say a week or so, they're down to one bar and...
