I've installed an AMGO 407-P 4 post lift for the sole purpose of getting my Mustang up in the air with the threat of flooding here in Tampa. Bonus points: It's a nice lift. It's overall length is ridiculously short, which may appeal to those with space limitations like me. A few modifications...

I'm going to install an anchor pot at the end of each garage bay so I can pull a dead car in if I have to. The pots would be on the wall side, allowing me to pull the car all the way in. Standard 3 car garage, 4" slab.....What's the closest I should put these to the wall? I was thinking 12"...

Will a CBB61 4.5uf 350v + 5uf 350v + 6uf 350v capacitor safely replace a CBB61 4.5uf 350v + 5uf 250v + 6uf 250v capacitor in a ceiling fan? I'm looking to replace the capacitor on a Harbor Breeze outdoor ceiling fan on the patio. I have two of these out there and one no longer hits high...

Skip to the pictures for the carnage.....come back up for the story if interested. House was built 6 years ago and the pool was done at the same time. Fast forward to this week and every time the heater (Pentair UtlraTemp 110 heat pump) runs, it pops a breaker after about 5 hours of running...

So, I've been battling weak flag poles for a long time.....Anyway, after years of flag poles ending up bent in half by high winds, I think I've found the answer: Epoxy resin. I fly that flag all year. Tampa sees some wind.....I recorded a 35 mph gust the other day. We're near the coast and the...

Hoping you can help me troubleshoot a hydraulic issue on an Atlas FM9SL scissor lift. Here's the full installation thread: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=383717 The issue: The platforms go up and down evenly when unloaded. But when loaded the slave platform lags about...

Can someone tell me about these pins that connect the upper end of a hydraulic ram in my scissor lift? I'm replacing the master cylinder (the whole story linked below). I noticed that this upper pin has holes drilled into it and has some kind of button on each end....the lower pin doesn't have...

I'm trying to size a pair of velocity fuses for my scissor lift install. The manual indicates the following data regarding the hydraulic side of things. There's a master cylinder in one scissor, and a slave in the other. Flow Rate: 2.1 cm3/g Continuous Working Pressure: 240 bar Peak Pressure...

Work continues on my flush-mount lift install: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=383717 Pits have been dug to 27". That's 14" for the lift platforms, 4" for compacted crushed stone, and a 9" concrete base. Walls are 5". I estimate I'll need about 120 square feet of vapor...

I’m done using a service to fertilize and treat my lawn. It seems they put down just enough of whatever to barely get it done. Structurally, the lawn is in great shape....Muck based St Augustine here in the burbs of Tampa Fl. Yard is about two years old. I cut at the highest setting, keep the...

I have the engine off my old Murray rider to replace the oil sump. I noticed some scraping/scoring on the cylinder wall....Anyone who can tell me if this is gonna be a big deal at some point? It’s a Briggs and Stratton 11hp, 28C707 series....maybe 25 years old. Other than this oil sump I...

Things are progressing with my scissor lift install....but I’ve got some questions for the concrete guys. First, I plan on hiring a company to deliver the concrete, and I’ll pay some of their guys to place it. Second, every detail of the install is in this thread...

Lift is an Atlas FM9SL. Statement from Greg Smith Equipment says power needs to be between 209 to 231 volts and that I need to buy a buck/boost transformer as needed. Manual states, "If there is over 10% fluctuation on the electrical power supply, it is suggested to use the voltage stabilizer...

*Fast forward almost a year and a half.....Here's what it looks like done and lifting my F150 Super Crew. I look forward to updating this photo with a 66 Mustang. :beer: **Fast forward some more.....That hunt for a 65-66 Mustang sent me to Chicago to fetch this 69. Yeah, buddy...

Opinions on something like this to bench test auto electronics, the wife’s rechargeable wine bottle opener, car stereo stuff, get 1 to 14 volts where needed...? I like the variety of front mounted outputs including the cig lighter output, and the variable voltage output and meters to see...

Getting ready to do a Fastpipe install for air compressor lines. Looking at the 100’ kit with maybe three drops in a three car garage. Research suggests a slope in the horizontal lines to move water to a point where it can be drained. How much slope are we talking about here? My longest line...

I've got a 60 gallon compressor. Made by Campbell Hausfeld. Tag indicates it was made in 2006. The cover for the pressure switch cracked, so I need to replace the whole switch (can't find just the cover). The only data plates on this unit are the red stamped one on the tank and the sticker on...

Is there a reason why someone would loop the cables after they enter a subpanel, or why they wouldn't? See the pic for reference:

This is the panel intend to feed my subpanel from. I need to enter the top of this panel.....This panel looks sloppy to me. It's functional, and the electricians' work passed inspection a year ago when the house was built. But I'm concerned about how cramped and sloppy it'll look to the...

Have a look at the pictures below and let me know what you think will be the easiest way to get a 1-1-1-3 ser copper cable from the attic down to the main panel. Seems to me that cutting an access into the drywall above the panel will be the easiest route.....otherwise I'll end up wedged into a...
