    Inch drive sockets, deep or shallow

    On the brand of sockets topic. I own and have owned about every brand imaginable. And to be honest the Gray Pneumatic are very good impact sockets and one of my favorite brands. I had a set of 3/4" drive and 1" drive ones for over ten years. And honestly I used them more then other brands and...

    New gas welder

    This is just my opinion but unless you are going to be welding non stop every day I would consider a Miller 250 Bobcat over a larger machine. They are very versatile and dependable. I bought one of them for my service truck. However when I bought it I was a little hesitant to get the one with...

    Replacing a cutting edge

    The way I see it if you want it done right then replace it with a good piece of AR400. But if it is yours and you already have an old edge that you can use then deffinetly go for it. Worst case senario you are out some bolts and time. Or you may really like it and be amazed at how well it works...

    Another Perkins Pukes

    I was just wondering if anyone here can answer this about the failed Perkins engines. On the ones that are spinning rod bearings. Do they have the standard rods that are machined where the cap mates up to the rod, or are they the fractured style rods that have the rough feel where the cap meats...

    On site fix for pitted hydraulic cylinder rods or shafts pitted where seals run

    That is no doubt true because of where you are. But here in the good old USA where I am, I can usually have a rod re-chromed for about half the price of replacing the rod and about 1/3 the price of a new one. Plus I can usually find a good shop to do it fairly quickly that is located relatively...

    Wanna swap a 5.9 Cummins or John Deere in place of 3208 Cat

    Can you get us the model and serial number off of the compactor, and the serial number and arrangement number off of the current engine? With that information I will check and see what I can come up with to help you out on this problem. Also photos of the compactor engine compartment, engine...

    Magic in a can

    I love the stuff but dang it is costly. Also you can buy it direct from Kano usually for less then anywhere else. Of course I only live about 1.5 hours from the factory and drive by there fairly regularly, so you can probably guess where I buy mine at. lol

    Magic in a can

    I think you are referring to Kroil. It is made by Kano Laboratories. They make some really good products. Here is the company's website. http://www.kanolabs.com/

    continunity

    That depends on what you call hot. They will sometimes get a little warm but hot usually means a shorted solenoid. I have a tool that works like a test light but for testing solenoids. It picks up the magnetism and lights up when they are working. If I get out today I will get the manufacturer...

    Post your specialty shop tools here

    Thank you. I have found that I like using my electric powered Cat one the most especially seeing I have several sizes of cylinders to go with it. So I see no reason to keep both especially seeing space is limited on my service truck. I think this will be a good one for someone starting out or...
