Here's my addition to a thread from a few months ago. I welded a trailer stake pocket, center front, and made a bracket for the winch that "curled" over and fit into the pocket . It was secure by the curl over the end, into pocket, pin to hold it in. It was removable to keep outta weather, and...

I'm just gonna toss this out there. I have an old Bobcat, basically a solid pump platform, fluid filled tires, - can add counter-weights as nec. Often wish I had the forklift attachment for it .

Oops, too late, was going to say, " before you pour think hoist and ground anchors", - but you knew that. Lol good job.

If you do a lotta van and SUVs, the overhead is a pain. If you do a lotta floor work, transmission, the floor tunnel is a pain. I had both, when I moved home and had to choose, - took home the floor tunnel one, the trans jack straddled it. You need 13 ft ceiling for the overhead one I had. Good...

Do you guys give the pressure relief valve a twist now and then. Tanks shouldnt be blowing-up with a functioning relief valve .

Mine is same sorta thing only back and forth across the side of my barn, all tubes slope down, 1 drain .

I have a spring loaded drain screws into bottom of the tank, that opens when pressure is low, coupla lbs. You can hear it hiss at fire up till it gets a coupla lbs pressure, then it closes. Now and then it'll surprise you by releasing when least expected. I try to drain the system low points...

Always like Chicago Pneumatic. 1/2" luv my #734, - on my 3rd one in 50 yrs.

Lotta those look like Sioux which are diff dia.than BD Think I used helicoils on sioux stones in some cases. You'll be doing 5 angle grinds in no time. The stone holders, I call arbors, just drill out to a suitable valve guide OD, then size ID to Sioux pilots OD, - then helicoils Sioux stones to...

That's a really nice machine, I have one. Decades ago I had trouble getting stones or pilots for mine. I ended up getting Sioux pilots and stones, and drilled the stone arbors out to press a suitable valve guide into, and use Sioux stones/pilots, with BD arbors/drill motor? and the rest. Just if...

Thanks very much, that going to be very helpful, exactly the info needed.

When I built this shop I had no idea my kids would drag me back, - kicking and screaming (not), into roundy-round, and the need to un-bend chit . lol

If you put them sorta in 4 corners and mid sides, you can rig chain from any 2 and have purchase near everywhere. imho Recessed into floor.

I just found another instance where I wished I had put places in the concrete to pull from, ground anchors? Substantial Pull-points in the floor . I had them many years ago in one shop, and forgot just how helpful they can be to pull out body-work, drag vehicle into shop, yada yada . Hope it...

If you got the hand-pump unit, don't let any (brake) fluid get in the pump, lost my first one by setting it down wrong, not realizing it, the piston fused to the barrel till next use, the handle broke, trying to pump it. Beware

Marine services use a similar device, there often isn't enuff room to easily get a drain pan under the oil pan in a boat with twins. Get the oil good and hot, low viscosity, then suck away, - you too, - bring a few beverages, it takes a while. lol The brake tool works great if you seal the...

There are also a coupla carpentry teachers here, that build (live-above) shop/storage barns each summer , with their best students. They also may guide you to some help.

In my area, a garage has a height restriction, barns don't, this can help you for a "lift" . Id go 2 doors, it can help save heat in the winter .

I have a plastic one, love it, Don't let fluid get in the pump under any circumstances, clean well if you do . Put Teflon tape on bleeder threads to prevent air sucking past the threads. Leave bleeder closed, pump 15 - 20*, open bleeder, close at 5ish, repeat , repeat . . . Good luck .

Itsa stud remover. The tube goes over the stud, the wedge piece goes sideways (one way to tighten, other way to remove) thru the hole, and tightens against the stud as the tube is rotated by the ratchet/breaker. Where's toolman when you need him !

Huh ? That's what I used it for, what's it supposed to be for, and what did you use it for ?

Mac, don't see a number on it .

I converted my B&D over to Sioux pilots/stones/arbors, - better availability, for me anyway .

Put the electric motor on it, get a ram x 3 diameter, and a recliner, - it'll take a while to do the same work .

I got my lifts, lease to own, for like $80 each a month, 3 yrs, they were mine. (1982) National Equipment Leasing . Should be something similar avail for you . Good luck, cheers .

I bought my 2 post lifts back in 82, with semi regular maint, still work great . They're big chunksa steel that bolt together. The hydraulics are basic . I replaced the cables about 5 yrs ago. I've moved these things to 3 different locations, - no drama .

Wifi reaches my son's barn 300' away .

I made this to hold pinion yokes in car, but found it works well on the vibration damper to hold the crank. Hope it helps . https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/attachments/p1010040-jpg.1714623613/

I have had them all, single post, front/back post, 4 post, overhead cable 2 post, across floor 2 post. My final choice is a 2 post across floor cable as the most versatile for me, and haven't regretted the choice in 20 yrs now . Walking over/across/around a 4 post gets old real fast .

That's a great tool for Mopar. I posted in 2013 a similar tool, a universal fit, I used to install all the Mopar, ferd-chubby 4:11 gearsets in the 60's - 70's in car, or out . It also works on the front crank bolts and pulleys . No, I've never broken a Mopar 1/4" yoke bolt ! ! Cheers...
