Anybody have the equipment for home straightening of alloy car wheels. The roads here are terrible, and I've got two bent wheels. I'd be willing to spend up to $1500 buy something. Local shops charge at least $100 to straighten wheels, so it'd pay for itself pretty quickly.

I have new tires for my '16 ATS-V, and I have a Coats 70XAH tire changer. My wheels have a steep outside step on them and it's keeping the new front tires 265/35/18 Brigestone RE71r's from beading all the way up. They hold air but there's a 6" portion on the outside where the tire won't bead all...

My brother and I bought 2 Coats 70xAH3 (air motor) tire changers for $1100 from a guy who buys obsolete Walmart equipment. He likes refrigeration, and these were part of a package bid. He just wanted them out of his warehouse. One was missing parts and was sold as a parts machine. It was...

I wish I would have bought a 220V 4 post instead of a 110. Is it possible to rewire these motors? I don't see a tag or a removable cover like other multi-voltage motors I've seen.

I'm looking to convert my 16' garage door to follow my garage's 7.5/12 roof pitch for lift clearance. I have collar ties at 12-1/2' with an 8' door and a relatively small header. This means that besides the angle to follow the pitch, I'll need to add a second angle at the collar tie/rafter...

I bought a used Poulan chainsaw. It seem to be mechanically sound, but it is extremely lean. It bogs and won't take WOT. I want to adjust the carburetor, but it has some external spline high and low screws. It seems to be an obsolete tool. I found them online for $39:wtf: Anybody know any cheap...

My 15 year old garage is 24'x36' with a 9/12 pitched roof (gabled on short sides). It has a 9' door and a 16' door on the long side. There is no floor over the 16' door, but the header (2x12 plywood sandwich) has sagged about 1.5". I know it's not an ideal repair, but I intend to lag bolt a...

Has anyone mounted lights to the inside of an overhead garage door. I have 8' tall doors. When they are open, they block a bunch of my lights on the ceiling, and the garage gets much darker. I was thinking that some lights mounted to the inside top of the garage door may make it brighter when...

I'm new to the site and loving it. Thanks for sharing your projects:bowdown: My garage is 24'x36' with a 9' and a 16' door on the 36' side. The header 2x(2x12 with plywood between) on the 16' door has sagged about 1.5" in the center of the opening. There is nothing much above the door and the...
