So I am rebuilding the pistons on my second Mohawk lift, this time an older System I. Main side (Master) cylinder was straight forward, no problem. Off side (slave?) cylinder though has ne baffled. I attached some pics. The bottom of the piston has just these two aluminum half rings resting in...

So some time ago I bought a Mohawk System II lift from a dealership that replaced them. Did all the mechanical work, new bearings, etc. The lift was in use to pretty much the day I picked it up, but I didn't take it apart myself, just picked up the pieces. Finally got it all installed, all the...

Hi all! SO many threads about this subject on here, but nothing that mirrors what I am planning to do exactly, so before pulling the trigger and spending hundreds of dollars I figured I run it by the experts here. Situation: Main panel in the basement at the opposite end of the house from the...

Hi Everyone! Been following threads in this forum for a while, and still trying to make up my mind about heat for the shop I am building at the moment. Shop is roughly 1,500sqft, 14' ceilings, blown in ceiling insulation, battens in the 2x6 walls, OSB and Drywall on the walls. It's in CT on the...

I think with a total of 12 cars (not all here) and other toys to work on, it was time to graduate from the unusable 1 car garage the house came with to something bigger. It took many years to get the resources together to do this, but I always rather do things when I can do so without putting a...
