Hi All. I had to pull apart the blower unit on my Scag ZTR to weld some spots ahead of leaf season. While disassembling I destroyed one flange bearing and decided to just replace the one on the housing too. Got these from the dealer - one doesn't look too bad but one is pretty off center. I know...

Hi Folks, I finally sprung for a welder last year, have it all wired up and ready, accessories bought, etc. The only thing I have been lacking is a welding table. Since I am both a shameless re-user and a tinkerer, I had long toyed with the idea of using my pop's old table saw top instead of...

Hi All, Over the winter I insulated my now-heated garage (24" OC trusses) with R19 fluff. I was able to hit most of the ceiling except for two areas around my lift (Atlas PVL-10). One is the lift bay... bottom of my joists are only 11'2" and so the lift at lowest height sits in between two...

Have been looking at a multi-process while researching beginning welders and this one seemed intriguing. I know that many have strong feelings about MPs and especially MPs that try to do too much, but this one has DC AND AC TiG, has it's own cart built in, and seems like a great price for what...

Last night my garage door sensor decided to stop working (or at least glitch). Unfortunately I was under it at the time and when I felt it not stopping I pushed back on it so hard that both cables spun off their spindles and wrapped around the cables, causing it to hang halfway open. I will...

HI All... looking for some consensus on approaches before I pull the trigger (and yes I have indeed read the other threads, but could not find an answer to one of the questions). I have a horizontally vented Big Maxx. Works fine UNLESS winds kick up and I get regular flameouts and relights (no...

Hi All, I bought a Greg Smith Atlas PVL-10 ALI certified lift in late 2020 and had it professionally installed (I really wanted to do it myself but the shipping logistics were a giant pain, so for a few bucks more it was worth it). I have used it fairly infrequently (less than 10 times)...

Hi All, I have gas run to my newly hung Mr. Heater 80K unit in my garage, and now working on electrical. I noticed the manual calls for a cutoff switch "near" the unit but it doesn't seem to be for safety/emergency, rather for work. Is it acceptable to install the switch closer to the entry...

Hi All, I am planning to install a Big Maxx 80k unit and luckily will be able to horizontal vent right out of my back wall (gable end). I am considering the Z-flex parts (the kit is a bit overkill) but from what is available, I will end up with two dampers / backflow preventers - one at the...

Hi All, A few weeks back I was hunting for ideas on where to mount my Yost 750-DI . Originally I wanted something removable that would work on my slightly-too-tall workbench, and was thinking of platform which I could clamp in the woodworking vise, or a hitch/receiver setup. However none of...

Hey All, So in 2014 we built a garage, 2017 I bought a vise, and 2020 I built a workbench to mount it on. I definitely want to buck the three-year trend for actually installing it :P So this is a big boy... the Yost 750-DI in all it's swiveling, 63 lb glory. My original idea was to have my...

Hi All, Long time lurker but first time poster (long enough that I didn't realize I already had an account lol). So to business... I am the recipient of a spanking new MAT-produced Dewalt branded 80g compressor. I have a relatively new garage which is also on the large side (27x35). It has a...
