I guess even the mods, admins and people running this site don't know the answer.

Hmmm, nice but I'd never leave my Harleys in a plywood shed so close to the road and so far from the house. I'm just sayin'.

I haven't been in here in awhile and I just tried looking up some pictures I uploaded in the past but can't find them. Seems to me I used to click on my avatar to bring up my pic file. Was there a change?

Back in the 80's it used to be stacked chests. The taller the stack the more respect I guess. I knew guys who had step stools next to their boxes to reach the top box! No adays it's spread out instead of up. :dunno:

I move mine maybe once a year just to sweep out behind them.

I've been a fan of pawn shops for years. Most of my hand tools are 70's-80's pawn shop finds. You can't beat older Craftsman sockets for 50¢ each or a $5.oo 1/4 drive Snap-on ratchet that only needed an internal cleaning to work right. Also ran into a guy once selling a like new DeWalt portable...

I finally got too tired of the racket of my 6 year old oil less HUSKY compressor so I found a good deal on a new super quiet Kobalt model, also oil less. The new Kobalt offers 26 gal. capacity and a slightly larger twin cylinder pump. Only changes I made were the addition of a water separator on...

Unfortunately shoddy work is becoming the norm. Businesses and contractors today want to maximize profits by cutting back on materials and quality labor. In recent years I've had problems with several contractors to the point that I almost expect to get hosed by every company I hire. I had a...

Me wanting to be a good neighbor, I'd offer my neighbors the opportunity to each pay me $10 a year to NOT ask the City why I'm the only one that pays $40 for the test. That way they save $30 a year and I get mine for free plus!

I have that very same machine. I think I paid $75 for it with the stand about two and a half years ago. The asking price was $125 and the only reason I got it so cheap was because it didn't run when I bought it. Turned out that the power cord was faulty in the switch box and once I wired in a...

Thank you kindly!

Would like to maybe find one.

I know this came from Western Auto and I can find pictures of the regular charger but none like this "Booster - Charger." Looks like late 50's early 60's. Any info on this?

I have a few Snap-on ratchets but only this TM 70M 1/4 drive Midget ratchet has this writing. What is the significance? Does it mean it has been rebuilt or was it something they did for a short time? The date code is 1985.

My little grouping Craftsman, Snap-On, SK and Fleet including the 1930's era 1/4 drive Craftsman Circle H ratchet which came with an extension from the same time period.

A few years ago we had our drain field replace because it was about 30 years old and was starting to fail. A company came in, replaced the leaching lines and added a lift station which now pulls water from the septic tank and pumps it into the leaching lines and out into the drain field. It...

Thanks for all the responses. I appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

Ummm, not that I understood all the VFD, Reeves drive, VS, vxdi, IIRC talk, I'm guessing the general consensus in no, I can't just use a dimmer type switch.
