    Bendpak or Dannmar

    Oh yea.... you will love this thing! Some of the instructions will seem to **** at times but everyone lives through it. I found that I read too fast sometimes as I thought I new what they were saying. A slight bit of difference in wording once in a while makes a difference, and slow reading or...

    Bendpak or Dannmar

    The XPR-10A set up in wide configuration is what I have. It has been perfect with zero regrets. I studied and studied, just as you, before I finally ordered it. I did the right thing for me and I think you will enjoy yours too. I filled mine with Dexron ATF...that was another thread here on this...

    sand strainer for blast cabinet?

    I have the normal HF cabinet blaster...the larger version, free standing on legs. I have it working well except for clogging the spray gun with paint flakes and chips blasted off of painted, rusted items. Large flakes of paint go up the intake and clog the nozzle. I'm thinking I need a framed...

    I'm afraid of heights.

    I hate those drive around scissor lifts... they shake, wiggle, and try to kill me if over 10 ft high..... I pay for anything over 10ft if my boys aren't home to do it for me.

    2 post lift

    When I put my Bendpak 10K asy up, I checked some of our cars for CG using a floor jack. I would jack each one up a few times until it balanced on the floor jack, then put a piece of tape on the door. I wanted this tape to line up with the post ( or center of the lift plate ) so that the load was...

    Unmount wire bead lawn mower tire

    Wizards picture tells it all. You must drop one side of the bead down and in so the side you are taking off has room to come up and over the wheel. As some of you have said, chasing these little tires around is a lot harder than when working with larger ones...here is the best deal going. I...

    How to spread gravel evenly.

    Old bed springs pulled with garden tractor or quad... I've done this for years, but he pallet sounds like it should work also...either are free with the old springs a bit harder to find now days. I have heavier equip but is not needed to relocate gravel. Dragging looks real nice when done.

    Sand Blast Cabinet Light

    I like those... I threw out the little light that came with my cabinet and bought a pair of Harbor Freight driving lights and mounted them much as yours are. They are 55W H3 bulbs and light things up nicely. I got by for right at 10 bucks and got to stay with 12volt system. I didn't want high...

    Bendpak XPR-10A...Up and running!

    Tony, Mine is exactly like yours. I did not even notice that the cable has this slight angle. It works perfectly fine as it is. Once the cable is on and adjusted you will never notice...I know I did not. : ) Good job at paying attention! Randy

    Bendpak XPR-10A...Up and running!

    Tony, My books are out in the shop as well, but will look for you. Your towers are set exactly like mine in the first pic of this thread? The top plate stays the same no matter which side the pump is mounted. It should make no difference on the saftey latch cable as to either as I recall...

    Battery Tender / Charger Thing

    I also have one Battery Tender, one big charger with 50 amp boost, and 2 of the HF units. The HF units do not have the circuitry to maintain,,they work but you have to treat them as a trickle charger,,and they both run hot to the touch. Battery tender is excellent product, but are not...

    Battery Tender / Charger Thing

    I've had this one for about 1 year now... I love it! The last one was a Schumacher (sp ) it was a piece of c-ap... a waste of money for sure. Read reviews to find a new one and found this one you are looking at...fantastic. I use it to maintain my truck that is stored in my shop building and...

    Bendpak XPR-10A...Up and running!

    There is no conflict on the saftey latchs, cables, or pulleys...no matter which side you set the control unit. They fit perfect either way. The one thing, and only thing, is the wire to the overhead saftey switch needs to be lengthened. I forget the gauge of the wire offhand ( maybe 16?? )...

    Help positioning a Bendpak XPR10A

    Each floor plate is 21" wide, the space between the floor plates is 103 1/16,. This adds up to 145 1/16 total width to the outside of the floor plates. Set like that...it leaves you with 106" between the upright posts.....no to the inside of the platesm, which is the 103 1/16. You have 106...

    Help positioning a Bendpak XPR10A

    Are you doing the wide configuration??? Page 4 of the download manual that Steevo posted shows the measurements. I would measure inside to inside without all the squaring sticks. Just use a tape measure......... I think it said 103 1/16 on page 4 for the wide setup.... read it for yourself to...
