Got a storm coming. I want to run my generac portable 3000w generator to make sure it working dine, to run out some old gas and get some new treated gas through the system. Do I need to put a load on it for about a 30 minute run?

Just had some tires switched between rims on two different trucks. Now when its time to put them back on the truck I find that I can not lift them any more. Heres what I did. Line put the wheel next to the hub and line up the holes best as you can. Make sure the truck is up about 2 inches higher...

I was removing the fill plug on my floor jack when it went "plefff" out across the front yard. Needless to say its gone. There was pressure behind it (does no good to know that now) but how much. Will any plug work? I found some black rubber "corks" at the hardware that may work. Heres a post...

I have a 3 ton floor jack made by MVP. The gears that the handle turns do not mesh. The teeth sometimes seem to be able to mesh and at other times they do not mesh, as if the teeth are too short. The gear that attached to the valve in the jack also seem to stick sometimes and spins freely other...

I managed to mount a 15" tire a while back but it about killed me. Mow I have a new tire 15x6 that I need to mount. I got one side on the tire on the rim but side #2 won't go. Is there a secret formula or will I need to take it to a tire shop? I have a set of irons for the job but I'm at my...

I just bought a used Remington DPS1 Branch Wizard Pole Saw. I expected this to be a piece of cwap since they sold for $99 new. I paid $38 cause I need to remove quite a few branches and I figured it was a fair risk. Turns out the thing cuts through maple limbs like butter. I think the reason...

I have a Chicago Electric winch from Harbor Freight. the remote receiver is not working. I'm assuming it is bad. I want to (ideally) fix the remote receiver. I have power to the receiver but thats all I know. Assuming the receiver is non-fixable I want to wire a switch to the control box to...

I have a chance to buy this saw from an ad. I want to know what its worth but I can not identify it specifically. Anyone know any specifics about it and possibly it value? And if that is an after market fence, what is it worth. 10 inch, tilt arbor.

Been looking at pole barn kits locally. Best bet looks like Carter Lumber (S.E. Michigan) with a 24x40 or 24x32 in the $6000-$7000 range(package cost). Lately, I found www.pennypincherbarns.com which I have now learned are a risky company to deal with. Darn!!! Because they have some...
