Hey HDC and Friends, Our good friend, fellow Solid Axle Summit director, Casey @POTATO LAUNCHER , is heading to meet his daughter in Bloomfield. He will be swapping a cv axle and both front wheel bearing hub units on his daughter’s GX460 while he’s there. I’m wondering if anyone has shop...

Jeep won. I think... Happen at 0705 on the way to a hospital for a medical procedure. Wife was driving (it's her vehicle). I was purposely looking for deer along that stretch of road, but the one that got us, pretty much appeared out of nowhere. We were doing about 55mph at impact. I...

A few of you may remember this thread Price Check, Metal Building - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/price-check-metal-building.1250548/ I started a few years back. Due to delays, redesigns, and issues with the first metal building company, we are just now breaking ground on the workshop...

I'm looking at a piece of equipment with this 220v motor. I'm assuming this is 3phase but don't really understand the delta/YY thing. Am I going to be able to run this off a typical 3ph rotary converter?

Got this off GovPlanet a couple weeks ago - Ekko EK20R. Full on Chinese built machine. Only has 300hrs on it and I've found/fixed several minor issues but it's got a broken king pin in one of the steering knuckles and I'm hitting a wall trying to find one and associated bearings/etc. Haven't...

My cool old analogue Kenwood garage receiver is failing. My son says probably cost more to fix than replace. He recommended I move into the 21st century and get some powered bluetooth speakers, and play XM or Apple Play, or Podcasts, thru them. So, any good recommendations out there? My...

Hi all, No, no. I'm not after FSM links, I have them, thanks. What I'm wondering is this; Do the "other" manuals go into any depth at all when describing various vehicle systems? Unlike the FSMs which (IMHO only) do not describe HOW systems work, only howto test & repair them. I'm asking...

So, yesterday I went to turn on the A/C (whole house - turned on from thermostat) and just heard a buzzing from the basement. Turned it back off and went down to take a look. Checked the fuse and then pulled the covers off the furnace to take a look at anything. Nothing seemed out of order and...

Hello. Have been reading on here, and am enjoying seeing what you all have done with your shops. Ive got a new 40x60 up with 18' sidewalls. White steel on the inside and am looking for advice and ideas of what to do for lighting. I have an 18' loft on one end, two bay doors with windows...

There's a lot of good lift info here but it seems to be scattered in various workshop threads. Would be nice if lift info was a little more consolidated so here goes. Post up your lift pics, info, questions, etc here and maybe this can become a good general resource for lift info. Bought import...
