I bought an S4 to go with my big Weaver. But unlike the Weaver, it didn't come to me in operable condition. At the moment it's leaking clear fluid vigorously. I'm assuming (hoping) overfilled from an effort to get it working from the guy who inherited it from his father in hopes of selling...

I have an older Graymills 300 solvent tank that I started refitting some time ago and got put on hold. I was planning on putting it into service just as it is, which should be fine given that I live in Phoenix AZ. However, while sitting on my project todo list (under my shop awning), the...

Decided I need to do more investigation on my own before starting a discussion...

I'm posting here looking for "out of the box" thinkers which would be typical of the "fab your own" guys. I just got what so far seems a good deal on a solid old Troy-Bilt combo yard-vac and "chipper". Yes, I know they are not ideal, and most people hate them. but it's the big 8 HP version and...

I just bought an old (guessing 60s?) Graymills 500 parts washer. Really heavily made, shells in great shape, paints a bit banged up but people actually try to duplicate that type of "patina", so I'm good with that. PO partly dissembled with plans to powder coat and "make it nice", never...

My PS100 finally pooped out a while back. I procrastinated dealing with it, and now I need a DA. Took it apart, and it appears the "feathering valve" just blew out it's guts, nowhere to be found. Looks like Snapon no longer supports, but I'll call on Monday to see if they have anything NOS...

I have a slab installed by the PO that is graded wrong between pool and house. Combined with roof runoff, I get water intrusion on the back wall with heavy rains. To avoid a long description, suffice it to say the roof is really not suitable for gutters, so since it requires a major effort...

I bought a new house in part to get a better shop (among other things). I now have a nice shop, along with plans to improve of course. But one of the most troubling things is that the "front" has 2 full size single vehicle garage doors and no man door. So I have to either go out the back, and...
