It's certainly came with a swivel base at some point, you can see the raised portion on the underside from the 2nd photo. I can't find any dimensions online.

Picked up a used Wilton 1765 Tradesman 6.5" without base hardware, looking online the original replacement parts alone seem to be more money than what I paid for the Wilton vise. Does anyone know if the parts from a comparable Yost vise are compatible with the Wilton brand vise? Yost parts seem...

Thank you sir, I was sweating I broke the board during deep cleaning of the entire machine. I have yet to balance any wheels on it. I also picked up an original Snapon motorcycle wheel adapter set.

What I noticed that the rim width knob won't adjust with the Mode Select is in certain weight combinations, it would only show 4.00 regardless of where the dial is turned. However if you push to another Mode the rim width will adjust just fine, anyone else experience this?

Finding the spiral copper fins to wrap arround the charge pipe, per the image from AliExpress.

After 30min of running, the top coper charge pipe is now brass color, the issue is I cant seem to find anything state side that's made of copper. I was looking for the spiral copper fins to wraparound the pipe to dissipate some heat The second issue, the water is making it into the tank, a...

Here's what It ended up looking like when finished, took about 2 hours today to get it all tightened up.

Thanks for sharing, unfortunately they only have two material options for 1" diameter dowels Stainless and 4140 Steel. 4140 steel would be tricky to weld, Perhaps that's not an option for something that you'd expect to yield instead of having a brittle like failure.

I was thinking more of a permanent solution that wouldn't need major servicing other than occasional greasing. Oversizing the existing holes on the bracket to accept hardened steel split bushings and drilling grease galleys into the new dowel pins.

Forgot to include the diagram of the lifting arm with the brackets: It was never meant to be serviced but it wears down with every lift and descent under load.

I took apart my Arcan 3.25 Ton Floor Jack for servicing after 15 years of use, it felt a bit loose. Overall the Jack did withstand the test of time other then the lifting arm pivot brackets, see below: Look at the wear on that Pivot dowel pin that was welded permanently on there. There was...

I really like this idea, would it be possible to braze a steel factory check valve with a Brass 90 flared 1/2" fitting?

I'm still looking to get a check valve and I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction on the 90 degree elbows like this: This style would be excellent since its 90 degrees and wouldn't require me to bend the copper tubing on the last bend. But I need one in 1/2 Flare and...

Thank you for sharing, I'm still sourcing parts to get the brasd JIC fittings for the trans cooler. I'm currently fabricating a bracket to support the cooler close to the pump fan pulley. I was wondering if the manufacturers intended the oil from the pump to be depositing the internals of the...

I will for sure need to decrease the internals as it has sludge, but I'll need to find a way to season the surface once cleaned to lessen the surface rust.

I'm in process of setting up an aftercooler, I want to clean the tank with degreaser then evaporust the internals.

Another look from the top down, looks worse than I thought, I hope it's sludge down there. I like to get the tank cleaned, should I use hot water and purple power to get the buildup cleaned.

Open the side plug today to inspect the tank and found what seems to be lots of surface rust. The rust only seems to be formed on the main body and not the Dome ends. The bottom dome end I couldn't take a picture of but it seems clear expect of the bottom plug that's all rusted (if not more) as...

Whats nice about the factory check valve it appears to be serviceable it has the retaining ring on the bottom. Majority that come up online with flared male end have a crimped on check valves: Edit: There is one on Walmart site of all places that has a continuous check valve body: WalMart...

It finally came out, it did take several short impact bursts to get it moving. The check valve is made of steel and It was bottomed out. When compared to a fresh brass 1/2 NPT the threads on the low side are 15 thou off while on the high side its about 4 thou. Took a quick peek inside the...
