    Imagine the frustration of digging through a single bin to find the one socket you need to get the job done! I made these 3/4 drive socket trays to eliminate that problem. They are all butt fusion welded with oxy-acetylene and no filler rod. I believe the stock I used is 3/16". No more digging...

    I made this wheeling machine out of stuff I already had lying around the shop. The upper wheel is a timing belt tensioner out of an Xterra, and the lower wheel is out of a pillow block. Note the radius on the lower wheel. Both are sealed bearings. The adjusting screw is an idea I got right...

    My home made welding cart made from scraps.

    Looks pretty cool!! You might want to add some kind of support or brackets to hold the cylinder more securely. Maybe a couple tabs and a ratchet strap. Looks like a nice cart.

    Welder good deal or not

    There is another model one step up from that one called the Handler 140. You might want to look into that and see if the price difference is worth it. The 140 has gotten good reviews in various consumer reports. It would already be set up for shielding gas too.

    It does pretty good. I have it set up so I can change out the hydraulic rams, the one in the photo is a ten ton. It works great for the lower control arm bushings,removal and installation.

    A while back, I changed the 7-1/4 rear out for an 8-1/4 and installed a Powertrax locker, new bearings and seals and new pinion seal. To keep the pinion from turning while replacing the seal, I put a piece of thick wall pipe in one of the drive shaft u-joints and rested it on the leaf spring...

    Here is my home built press, Torqueflite clutch spring compressor and A-833 bearing installer. The bearing tool is a piece of pipe with an old bearing race welded to one end and a piece of solid steel on the other. They all look a little crude, but each one has saved me money.
