I need the Rear Guard Service Kit and a mulching blade for my M18 mower and a replacement gearbox for my Quik-Lok hedge trimmer. Who are good suppliers for these parts?

Any recommendations for a good mulching blade for this mower? I tend to mow on the highest setting and don’t want a golf course finish, I just want to keep things fairly even so that it looks OK and the grandkids can run around in the yard.

I need to replace the bump head on my trimmer. I like the easy feed mechanism for reloading on the Milwaukee, but have always had issues with feeding while I am using it. Any recommendations for a replacement?

I’m looking for some foam insulation and a Uv stable sleeve for the last foot or so off my minisplit lines. What is the right name for this stuff and where can I find it?

I am finishing my 30X50 final and forever shop next to a house I am renovating and ran into a few questions from my inspector when he came out to check the electric. According to the town, the building is considered to be an Accessory Structure. I have built it as a shop building following...

I received a lot of good feedback on my 'should I get a backhoe' thread and ended up buying one. It is an International diesel 2500B from the mid '70s. It isn't pretty (at least not yet), and needs a little work, but the motor and driveline are strong and with the exception of a few small...

I have a small backhoe that I mount on a compact Kubota and over the years between me and my kids it has been have used a fair amount. It is limited in terms of how deep it can dig, power and changeover time to install the subframe and partially dismantle the 3pt hitch. I'm starting to look...

I found this about a year ago and have to say it is the nicest drill press I have ever owned. It can drill 1” in steel and has a speed range of ~100 - 3,000rpm and three automatic feed ranges. All in all, a great example of US golden age machine tool engineering.

A very cute baby burgmaster followed me home. I had never seen one out in the wild before and for $120 couldn’t resist

I'm redoing the electric as part of a remodel and need to source GFCI and AFCI breakers. So far the best prices I've found for the AFCI are ~$35 on Amazon, the electrical supply houses, like Gordon, seem to be in the mid $50's for someone like me who doesn't qualify for better pricing and Big...

I found this Huot toolbox on Marketplace earlier this week and other than a missing handle on the top box it is complete and in reasonable condition considering it has to be at least 60 years old. I’m planning to just clean it up and would like to find cork for the drawers. Any ideas where...

I have three Electro Mechano 15" drill presses for sale. The Production table they are bolted to is not for sale. The two heads with chucks are $200, the head without a chuck is $100. All drill presses work, but will need some work to return to pristine operating condition. The drill...

I have a Lincoln 250 DC CC/CV machine with a LN-7 wire feeder that I would like to set up on a cart along with two bottles and my welding gear - tools, TIG items, consumables, hood, gloves, jacket, etc... So that I can roll it where I need it in one shot rather than moving the welder and then...

I'm looking for some decent 3/8" drive shallow and deep sockets in both metric and inch. Which brands today are decent, hold up OK and relatively thin wall for impact sockets? I will be using them mostly with my M18 3/8 drive impact.

I'm looking for a decent quality ratcheting tap wrench that will accomodate 5/16" taps. I used to use General brand wrenches when they were made in the USA, but understand that the quality has gone down since they started importing them. What are decent brands/models these days?

I have one of the old Safety Kleen parts washers with a 30 gallon drum and am looking for an assortment of baskets from small to medium size that I can use with the washer. I run a solvent based solution in the washer. Ideally I would get 4-6 baskets so that I can keep small parts separated...

Is anyone using the rigid blue aluminum pipe for their air distribution systems, or have experience with them at work? If yes, which connectors do you like - Transair, Unipipe or ??? I am getting ready to install the air system in my new shop and the rigid blue pipe looks to be both easy to...

I’m siding a house in rough sawn board and batten. I use 2” nails for the board and 3+“ for the battens. On previous projects I have hand nailed the siding using small headed spiral shank galvanized nails from Maze and have been happy with the results. For this project, I’m curious if there...

I’m going to have a 150 amp panel in my new shop. To make the connection to my main panel I will have ~85’ run in the basement and ~ 75’ buried to the shop. Does it make more sense to run URD the entire length and put it in conduit in the basement, or use SER in the basement and have a...

I’m looking for bolt bins for my new shop. I have always liked the old school equipto style with the removable drawers that can be fitted with dividers. Does anyone make something similar to these at a reasonable cost? I have found Durham on line, but the reviews make it seem that the...
