I need to winch my project car into the garage from time to time. I have a 120Vac winch bolted to the garage floor. I extended the power cord to the pendant hand control but all that cable is a pain. I have a similar issue winching into a race car trailer .The winch is 120vac not 12vdc. Here is...

I need to buy the tallest lift cart I can find. It is for dropping and engine+transaxle from Porsches. They weigh around 600 pounds I guess. The car would be up on a 2 post lift. The idea is to support the entire assembly on the lift cart and then remove the engine_trans mounts, then lower the...

Asking for what you guys use under your lift to protect your head from dings? Something like the old Miner's Helmet may work?But I can only find toys: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0087UJ1QO/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Baseball cap is useless because the brim restricts upward vision and it isn't...

I need to add some vibration(& noise) absorbing feet to my 7.5hp 80 gall Quincy. The usual advice is hockey pucks, rubber mats. I just wondered if anyone had tried using hydraulic motor mounts intended for a pick up truck. They are not cheap but I presume they should work much better than the...

Wudel Made in USA Wudel 711 trans jack -help needed I bought a Wudel 711 transmission jack. Yes, I could have bought a new Chinese one for not much more money but I like to buy American for safety related equipment. It is missing a part and I have been unable to find it anywhere. It is a...

I need a small dump trailer that I can tow behind my 3.0V6 4wd Ford Escape.I need advice of what brand to look for. Featherlite aluminum? I am shooting for an unladen weight of 1000 pounds or less and a payload of 1000 pounds. This may sound impossible ,particularly in a tandem axle but the...

These notes may help others installing lifts. But I am not a expert ,so do it at your own risk. I have just installed an old Mohawk System 1, two post lift and fitted a glycerin-filled 2000 psi pressure gauge with a 2-1/2" face to the offside lift cylinder.There is a convenient bleed plug there...

There have been questions about what equipment & manpower is required to remove/transport and install used lifts. I just did this with a Mohawk System 1. Basically it requires a Budget Truck with a tail gate LIFT, an engine crane, a low clearance floor jack(harbor Freight) and a regular floor...

Yes, it is 2 post ,not 4 post and not a scissor lift. It was sold by Hunter for alignments but made by VBM?/ Challenger? Here is a link to one that a G.J. member photographed some time ago: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79654 Here is a you tube video: My question is this...

I am planning the installation of an 18,000Btu Fujitsu mini split condenser outside my house. The most convenient location is under a deck with about 4 feet of headroom between the dirt and the deck joists. The space is well ventilated and accessible for service. Clearly you can't stand up...

I like the Mohawk A-7 but the price overwhelms my budget. The particular feature I would like to replicate on a cheaper "floor-plate" lift is the clear floor with the hydraulics(& equalization cables) overhead. For example, can the Bend Pak XPR-9 be modified to become clear-floor? Or a Dannmar...

Anyone use thes zwrenches/ I notice that Eastwood are selling them ? http://zwrench.com/

I have used "search' but can't find a discussion of this issue so would appreciate some direction or link to a useful thread. This must be becoming a more common issue? My 1980's garage was professionally wired for 240v and has '3 wire' 10-50 receptacles. The wiring is overkill 6awg THHN in...
