I have a 60gal Kobalt 7 HP compressor, belt drive, cast iron, oil lubricated upright. Here is the problem: I switched it on today (it is in the shed behind the garage), but I noticed it was running kinda long.....I went around the garage into the shed to look at it.....it smelled kinda funny...

I have a battery in my enclosed trailer (small trailer for towing Karts). I use the battery to power a car stereo/CD changer and some lights (cheap HF rectangular driving lights) that are mounted at the rear for loading the trailer when dark. Anyways, I was thinking that it would be great to...

Ya know, they really need to start putting public service warnings on all product descriptions (web sites)!! Something like this: "This product, or any/all of its components, have been manufactured in China. Buyer beware" I bought 2 sets of wheel bearings from E-Trailer.com, a reputable...

I have a used trailer that I just purchased and I want to replace the floor and tailgate ramp floor. The trailer is 7' x 10'. Should I use plywood or OSB? What are the advantages/disadvantages to each? I plan to paint/waterproof the bottom and use truckbed coating (Rhino liner or similar) for...

I need a generator that I can attach to the tongue of my little enclosed trailer for days at the Kart track. I will use it to run a small A/C unit inside the trailer and maybe a small fan. It was 121*F at the last track day and there was no way to drop body temps (iced towels etc were of...

Hope this isn't a repost:

What I am looking for is something like the picture below, but just a manual version (no hydraulics, just body weight and upper body strength to pull up the load.) Kinda like the sort of thing they use for lifting the back end of a IRL or F1 car, but with a load pad like this one: I could...

Anyone had any direct, indirect, heresay or other experience with this trailer manufacturer. http://www.redtrailers.com/TrailersLandscapingLarge.asp I was debating whether or not to buy one of the HF trailers, but I just don't have enough of a comfort level with them. I will be hauling 2...

Well, I spent a few hours today replacing the infamous intake gaskets on my 71 C20 (with 99 Suburban L31 engine/trans). I did everything by the book. Everything worked out well....EXCEPT....when removing the rubber water line from the front of the manifold, I managed to twist the steel water...

Just got it today from ABF trucking. I must say, it was well packed and well greased. Not anywhere was there signs of rust/corrosion. Everything went together well with little effort and it seems to work well. I have not drilled anything yet, but it runs fairly quietly and smoothly. I don't...

I want to build a carport in front of my garage, attached to the eves, which are 8' from the concrete. The driveway has a good slope to it, so it could likely still be 8' at the far edge. I made a quick paint sketch of what the area looks like. I want at least 14-16 feet of coverage from the...

I went to Home Desperate today to pick up some weed wacker plastic wire....anyways, I walked passed an end cap at the end of the garden supplies aisle and saw a stack of Rigid Wet/Dry vacs. Saw that the 9 gallon-3.5hp unit was marked at $28.97. Didn't think much about it (the price) as I...

Stumbled across this on the Hotrodders board. Looks like a great home made, cheap solution: http://www.pro-touring.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11675&highlight=air+compressor

Anyone have any comments on this one....the free shipping makes it all the more attractive, but if it is a POS, then I won't bother.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sand-blaster-sandblasting-cabinet-sandblaster-blast_W0QQitemZ4610145022QQcategoryZ43986QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Thanks, Tim

I wanted to get another enclosed canopy like this one: http://www.kingcanopy.com/enclosedcanopy.htm I have had similar ones before (bought at Costco) and after a couple of years out in the sun the tarps begin to get brittle and tear. Are there any kind of products that can prevent, or at least...

This post made me think of these tools. My Dad has a bunch of these tools and I remember how he used to love them and the quality of the tools. I don't think I ever saw a broken one and they took plenty of abuse over the years (he had them since before I was born and I am 34 now). I looked...

I have a 10' x 14' steel shed behind my garage on a concrete pad. After a good rain, it leaks at the screw holes and seams on the roof. It is the type of shed available from Lowes/HD etc, so it isn't fantastic quality, but it fits the bill and has actually been quite good. This isn't it, but...

I am still waiting on my hanging plastic bins that I will place behind/above the bench, and still ahve some more packing/oranizing to do, and I still have to install the sink, but pretty much done. Here are some before and after pics. Certainly does not compare to some of the stellar garages...
