Just be carefull not to run your car into the ceiling with a 4 post if you have low ceilings.

Because the bridge has to be high enough to not colide with the roof of a pickup or SUV. Where as the 4 posts have no bridge . Tops of 4 post columns are around 7-8’ where as tops of 2 posts are 11-12’ depending on brand , capacity and if it has extensions .

Buy a 4 post and get rolling jacks to lift the wheels off the runways . 2 posts are better for maintenance but 4posts allow you to store another car. 4 posts require less ceiling height and concrete thickness . A 2 post requires 4-6” of good concrete or you will need to cut and repour 4’x4’...

Those pretty speckled surfaces make it impossible to find anything you drop . I would suggest a solid color .

I ran new LEDs throughout my garage this winter . Got them off Amazon for a very reasonable price.

Atlas and Bendbpak are the budget lines.... Rotary and Mohawks are the Premium brands . Challenger is owned by Snap -On . Advantage is a really good lift for a reasonable price point . Atlas are a PIA to get parts or support for . On used lifts check cables , pulleys , plastic guides in...

Never used a digital one . Do they beep or notify you when they hit the torque value so that you don’t have to watch the readout ?

I install lifts for a living now ... got tired of selling things. 4" minimum for the concrete on a 10k or smaller lift . Just use a small bit to test depth somewhere nearby. You will feel the bit break through. Drill your anchor holes all the way thru in case you need move or mess with lift...

Ive ground them down on my bench grinder using an extension chucked in a drill. Its as close to a lathe as you can get . But a lathe would take about 3 minutes !

Use impact sockets to grind down . They are not usually chromed and will still be strong after thinning . If you have a lathe you could cut the whole set down nice and clean .

Urgh ... a 2 headed monster ! I hate them ! They stay the correct size for exactly 1 turn !

I installed a Advantage open front 4 poster alignment rack today with 2 sliding center jacks .

HILL BILLY H- BOMB ! Lol

Use the Indian shelac in your toolbox.

Just torqued the lugnuts on my 69 Swinger yesterday . Manual says #80... my 78 Dodge Motorhome specifies #300.

I dont think its the motor because it runs fine until the tank hits around 80 psi. Which leads me to think it may be a sticky valve like Steve suggested .

Hmmm .. that is interesting . How do I address that ?

I always thought it was a single stage . The cylinders look equal in size. I drained the tank (of air) and started it again . It runs fine until the pressure starts to build to around 80 psi then it starts to slow up . It did not knock though ...which leads me to think Steve is on the right...

Ha ! Too Funny ! All these years I assumed it was a reference to the voltage and it was odd that it was 116 volts but never gave it much thought .

I thought it said 1167L ... I believe you are correct .

I doubt it ...

I have Googled rebuild kits for that model # but found nothing. I am not even sure if that is the pump model or the compressor model # . Surely they offer rebuild kits just like A/C units and engines ?

Just started yesterday . I turned it off right away . I had noticed it slowing up at first start up for a while now and anticipated the rebuild.

Knocking and going slow.

My compressor needs rebuilding and I am unsure how to go about finding the correct rebuild kit for the pump . It is a BelAir stand up . Thanks ,

True but its still a handy and novel tool to have around . Besides it fits well with the 40s-70s theme

I gave it to the guy that just went thru my Maico 490 motor. He specializes in Vintage bikes . Most of which dont have tachs . Maybe it will come in handy . He thought it was pretty cool . He has some freakin cool bikes in his shop ! Some are old factory race bikes .

Its got a rubber tip that you physically put on the end of a shaft . Maybe its for checking the rpm of an electric motor ?

Who has seen one of these ? What was the application ? I picked this up of CL with an old Vacuum gauge .
