My transmission jack has developed a serious leak, seems like it is coming from around the lowering knob. This jack looks almost identical to the Sunex 7793c series, except for the pedal load release. I bought it second hand 5 years or so ago and I can’t seem to figure what kind it is. I would...

I am getting everything together to install a 7.5 HP compressor in my shop. I have never owned a piece of equipment that is big enough to require a magnetic starter so this will be first time installing one. The compressor is currently equipped with a 3 phase motor and starter. My question is...

I am running a new circuit to power my welding machine. The welder has a max input of 100 amps at 230 volts and a 60% maximum duty cycle. Looking through my borrowed code book it seems that I can utilize #4 copper since the 60% duty cycle factors into the equation. This machine will be directly...

I recently started running wire and conduit for lights and receptacles in my shop. The building is all steel construction. For the lights, the junction boxes are screwed to the metal rafters, as are the T8 lighting fixtures. I have run grounds from the fixtures back to the main ground bar in...

I recently pulled 4/0 4/0 2/0 #4 MHF cable from the meter and disconnect at my barn to my new shop. I installed conduit from the outlet at the disconnect all the way to the shop, and came up through the block with conduit. Now I am ready to mount the panel to the wall and connect power. My...

I have finally cleared the biggest hurdle of building a garage, I have saved most of the money. I am having a hard time deciding on what type of construction to move forward with. 95% of the home garages in my area of East Tennessee are post steel construction. I am having a hard time coming...

I am going to upgrade my compressor in the next few weeks or months and have some questions. I have found two compressors locally, both are used. One is a Champion VR 10-12, it's on a 120 gallon vertical tank with a 10 HP single phase motor on it. It looks pretty good in the pictures but I...

I have searched till I am exhausted, so I figured it is time to ask a question. I am going to begin wiring my Barn for power this week. This is hopefully the next step in constructing a workshop in the coming months. The local power company is going to set a new pole and transformer and run...

I recently aquired a 50 ton Dake press at a used machinery auction. The only problem with the unit is that the gauge is broken out of the workhead. I have searched to the end of the internet trying to find what pressure the pump supplies but I cannot find it. Dake's manual does not tell...

I am hunting for 3/4" drive Craftsman metric sockets. Either a set or just various ones. Thanks, WP
