I cut a circular hole in the side of my 220 volt harbor freight mig welder and installed a high flow fan that blows from the outside thru the wall of the welder directly on the transformer. The hot air then exits all the existing vent louvers all over welder. I run flux core wire exclusively...

Agreed here. I have a harbor freight helmet for about 6 years. Auto darkening with response time and darkness settings. Then you set it how you like. I have attached a canvas hood off the back of mine to block out ambient light coming from behind and weld outdoors in sunlight or indoors with...

Use cloth towels from costco that are designed as bartop rags. They are fluffy, durable and can be washed and reused about 20 times easily. Less than a buck each. Or get HD ones from amazon prime: Amazon.com - Commercial Grade Bar Mop Towels (25-Pack) - Paper just doesn't absorb like a...

I agree with trailbeast. Run as much durable and common as possible. Hei, reasonably modern alternator, stuff you could replace at any parts store or junkyard. I like a small but complete wrench set, makita impact and drill with stepper and basic drill bits, proper light gauge socket set...

My mice are field mice as we are quite rural so I suspect they are mainly accustomed to silence. The radio has helped like night and day, although, they will likely get used to it eventually. Then I am going for some highly rated ultrasonic units and a few pounds of moth balls. Another option...

Also, my radio has 2 separate speakers, one on each side of the shop, each about 1' tall speaker box, and my shop is 20'x20' inside so that gives you an idea of how much sound is reverberating around. I play it "moderately" loud. About 60% volume..

http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=196253&highlight=marmots My rodent thread. I have had mice in many vehicles on our farm, they can get into any ventillation duct on a late model car. Shake Away works in cars for 3 months at a pop. Excluding a 100% air tight sealed...

A friend has a green kawasaki brand. 1/2" drive, 110v . Amazon has em for 69. Works really great. Bit bulky.

I weld about 8 hours per month average. I use a harbor freight automatic unit and hav no issues other than the window is about 2x4. Mabye one day I will buy a larger windowed unit. Here is mine. It works perfectly for 4 year . I bought some replacement lens covers about 1 year ago. I just...

Yea. When ever possible: Buy Used. Support your local or semi-local American folks directly by buying stuff they want to sell that you need. F those foreign sources of cheaply made anything. F cheaply made anything, where ever it came from. I buy plenty of used gear when ever possible...

I would overhaul the upper half of the compressor. I mean, disassemble / pull the sleeves off and re-ring / hone if possible. Since you have already done the valve pack or whatnot. Maybe you could get 5 more years! Does your compressor have rebuild parts and data (available from aftermarket or...

I bought direct from Eaton, (edit 500 bucks) for a 3 cylinder 2 stage compressor (plus 100 shipping) I'm running it w/ an 11hp gas engine, pressure on/off circuit like an electric compressor. I did several tests and got about 15 + cfm average from 90 - 150 psi . Eaton's prices on a high cfm...

Here is what i have on my shop / pole barnola. My asssumption is the clear will not absorb as much uv so it will last longer. But it does pass thu more heat / uv. Although I have only had it on for 9 months, it lasted one winter and all summer: http://www.mytarp.com/clear-tarps-poly.aspx Most...

Get outside of car under epoxy. Pre- fit and finalize suspension. Then go snowboarding and fall on my backside a lot.

wow, I have used Ether, gasoline, alcohol, carb cleaner and must have put 100 used tires on, in the dirt, using a crowbar, some other bar, a tire jack to break the bead and apparently a pile of luck. I was not aware that explosion and rupture were more than far distant possibilities. Fortunately...

i know what you mean. I reckon I want to port around a small organized setup of tools and misc nuts n bolts. I live on some acres and find my self working on stuff all over the place. Sometimes I drive a farm truck, sometimes i just tote stuff all over the place. 8 times out of 10 I end up 200...

Thanks. Yea, I can order those off amazon or at Lowes. I am looking for a larger unit. Say 3.5 foot wide, 5 feet tall outfitted with all sorts of organizers, slots and drawers. Basically like a full size tool chest but with biger wheels and lighter.

For work I have one of these but its only got misc RF in it. What I am looking for is a dolley type similar to that but larger and full of ways to organize tools / nuts and bolts / misc. Anyone have suggestions? Thank you.

As of late, I just get a cup of purple power concentrate, 1 pound of lye and put it into a 5 or 10 gallon rubbermaid tub full of water along with anything you want to degrease. Move around once every 3 days. It will be 100% clean in 1 -2 weeks with no effort. The vat will last many times of...

Lay down can have big compressor / motor on top of the tank and still not be top heavy. So you can put good wheels on the back and a little hitch on the front, then tow it or move it easily.

You should buy a good used unit. If you have 220 volt hook up that will do you well. Get 15 - 17 + cfm at 90PSI, get a 60 gallon tank. You will probably be running 5 - 7 hp electric motor and a 2 stage, 2 or 3 cylinder compressor . Lay down setup is nice. If I had 220 I would be running an...

x2 , we have a medium size weller butane unit, been running ggreat for 5 years. Pull the tip and you have a butane torch to solder heavy items. Extremely handy with adjustable heat. Obviously portable, you can solder in the top of a tree in a random field without the cord to hinder you.

Phillips screw drivers are actually robotic homing corn dogs. So, if you leave them unattended for a long time, they just haul *** out the garage door, back to their place of origin. Also whiskey does this same thing when you aren't looking as well.

Nice color scheme. You putting gravel around it or grass? congrats on the progress

Thanks 67, glad you like it. So, snow blower that starts on 120vac so as to be batteryless. I rather like having a battery start. I wish my mig welder was battery start. Its a pull rope. But it is on a cart so I can take it all over the farm and over to the neighbor's.

67 I was not interested in using electricity very much in my pole barn shop. It is out back and routing a high amp 220 run 200 feet from the main and the corresponding fees and certifications associated. Basic concept: Use the factory tank pressure switch which is already set to be on at 90...

I tested my compressor CFM today. Reasonably scientific process. Thought I would share. Use a stopwatch and make 3 runs and get the average time (see below). 1 Get tank volume in gallons by reading the side of the tank hopefully. 2 Divide gallons of tank by 7.48 to get cubic feet of volume...

rotella 15w40 and a bit of zddp

I saw on another thread, I think it was AdamR mentioned a gas BBQ grille to bake his parts. Pretty friggin brilliant considering how cheap a used bbq is and all the fumes are safely out of the home and most have a temp gauge on top.
