I recently took my 11240 Hammer Drill apart. I found that the piston has two O-rings on it. I have the 11240 Diagram and it doesn't show both O rings on it . The diagram shows two O-rings close to each other, but I believe that one is for the piston and the other is for the striker next to it...

I bought a none working RH540M Hammer Drill from Bosch. It was a non working drill and I thought that I could repair it. It hummed but would not turn. I pretty much assumed it was a bad armature. Here is where the nightmare start. I ordered a new armature on line. Said it fit my drill...

Here is question that has bothered my for some time. When heating up a three car garage, is it better to do so with the cars in or out. Not talking abou any dangers here. Simply is it going to heat quicker with two cars in place or quicker with the cars removed. I have a 30,000 Mr. Heater...

I am looking for a hitch just like the "Spitzhitch". But, it is way to expensive for what i need it for. I can't find a similar hitch with a hand crank on it. There are a lot of 2 inch recepticle trailer cranes but the only one I found that had a hand crank on it was the Spitzhitch. The ones...

I know this looks like it has been beaten to death but it seems like a lot of conflicting information about what to do. I have a MaxJax and it has been installed for several years. When I installed I found that my concrete was in the 4 inch area. I went a head and used the wedge anchor...

I have a Magnetic Drill but I'm looking for something where I can raise it higher and still use the magnetic grip. Right now I have it on a steel table. But with the chuck mounted on the drill it leaves no room underneath to place an item. I was thinking like a small metal table that I could...

I just finished installing my Rapid Air 3/4 inch air system. I kept the connections down to a minimum to avoid air leaks. So I have just one T-fitting and two manifolds at the end of the lines. I cannot get the T-fitting to stop leaking air. There isn't any rocket science here but I'm still...

I purchased MC cable for my project. It's 8/3. I went a long with the "People also bought this " thing and getting straps and MC connectors like it said . The connectors came and they are 3/4 inch. My cable just came in too. I lined up one of the MC 3/4 connector over the MC cable. Way to...

I've seen Romex cable in two different presentations. 1. flat white cable with individual wires molded into one piece 2. Round black cable with the individual wires loosly bound by the black covering. I understand that you should not use Romex in conduit. Code violation. Is Romex, Romex no...

My sub panel in the pole barn will supply a 240/50 welder plug. This sub panel has a separated Ground and Neutral (by code) not bonded. I have a lot of 3/4 grey plastic pipe laying around. I have not purchase the wire yet but need to soon. planning on running the wire through the pvc. AWG 8 ...

Yesterday I came across a statement, for the first time, about where the filter should be located. I just purchased a FRL for my system and was looking where to insert it into the system. This guy said to make sure that it is installed several feet away from the compressor, like 50 feet...

Yesterday I was taking pictures of the parts that were on my T-30 234 IR compressor. I found that the water separator (Graco 106149 I believe) was connected backwards to the tank. It's been on there for years, I can tell by the dirt and rusted connections. I bought this used. Will these...

Here is a stupid question, but I don't know the answer to. Can I use the pipe dope that I use for sealing water connections on npt air connections. Is it the same or different . Not talking about plumber puddy.

This compressor has twin lungs (pistons) on it. It was missing the finned cooler that went in between the cylinder heads when I go it. I bought a use one. It has a flared end on both sides and connects into the fitting that is in the head already. My question is do I need to pipe dope that...

I am curious if anyone has tried using two 12 volt jump packs in series to make a 24 volt jump pack? There are a lot of 12 jump packs but only a few 24 volt packs. The 24 volt packs are a heck of a lot more expensive. I was thinking about buying two of the 12 volt jump packs. This way when I...

What is the simplest way to determine the size of a belt form my compressor. I have to play around with motor pulley size for the RPM that I need. That will make a difference in the distance. The motor will not fit into the platform slots so I'll have to drill different holes for lockdown the...

I have a large IR compressor. The unit has what I believe to be the original compressor pistons (unit}. I don't believe the motor is original nor do I believe the HP rating on the motor that came with it. I.e. I think the motor doesn't belong to this compressor. How do you determine what...

I've seen where a grease gun was used to pressure test an air tank after it was filled with water. Looks like it would work, but here is my question. What happens to the grease that was pumped in? I assuming that the grease will sink to the bottom of the tank. Now that is the same place where...

You would have thought that this was a simple solution. I have a 5hp motor on a compressor with the capacitors missing (two). One is a start and one is a run. Since they are missing, how do I know where to locate each left side or right side with the shaft facing the other way. I don't want...

I have five concrete PD58 wej-it anchor bolts in the concrete that will not seat below the concrete surface or near the top. They will tighten up but not until they are out of the concrete by maybe 1/2 inch. These are for a two pole car hoist lift. I wanted to epoxy them in to stop the...
