Randomly looking at the top one and doing an internet search.... that's essentially what it looks like. For clarity, this isn't so much a hydraulic filter.... it's just a breather. It sits vertical so any oil would have to go UP to get into it and if some did, it would ostensibly, be able to...

Flexwing mower is hydraulic. Has a tank on it. On the tank is a vent. The vent for all practical purposes, "looks like" it's simply an oil filter that's spun onto a union. Here's picture of the union. Fat end screws into the top of the oil tank and on the small end, goes the "oil filter" I...

I stole my wife's kitchen measuring cups..... though I do admit it takes a lot of trips to fill a 30 gallon machine at 1/2 cup per transfer... ;)

I went ahead & logged into ebay and indeed, I have a message from them stating that they need my full ssn and dob (or something other)

Not related to original questioni but thought I might ask since this has some eyeballs. VERY infrequent seller on ebay. Seems if you now sell enough volume, I suppose they are going to issue a 1099?? If that's accurate the next might make sense. I normally use my desktop for things (like now...

My wife's cousin (lives next door) bought himself a new pontoon boat. Not that I was looking to acquire a boat, he then tossed me the keys to his old one and said "It's yours". (we are always helping each other on things so he's a bud too) Anyway, haven't used it as a new owner yet. When we...

I recall 'Cowboy Doc'. If I'm correct, he was an ER physician. His (daughter I think) did some kind of competitive rodeo where she rode a horse around barrels or maybe lassoed something. Heck, she's probably got grandkids by now lol. I discovered this site as I was looking for a Kubota...

lol, the Garage is 9' high. The question isn't how high is the ceiling but rather, how far out into the driveway do you intend to use it? I'm currently using a 12g 100' that is plugged into the interior wall. I'm trying to get away from 100' (hence the 50) and I'm going to run a power line...

I appreciate the comments. I've found most of these listed. I was hoping for folks to be able to say "Brand "X" might be expensive, but you're getting what your paying for"..... or "Brand "X" is simply junk" Went to two stores today. I was expecting to see something pedestrian which I did...

Changing direction in garage to add a (probably ceiling mount) cord retractor. Turns out there are a number of brands. Looking for ideas: Plastic or metal construction? (I prefer metal, but open to better ideas) I'm looking for 50 feet, 12g, want three plugs on the end of it. I don't care...

"The Rest of the Story" Ordered a rebuild kit. Arrived today. I already had the lid off the nailgun. Having never done this before, took me probably 15 minutes to pop the cylinder out, FIND the silly seal (that hides with the color of the cylinder), find the gasket INSIDE the circumference...

reels.... never even entered my outer realm of thoughts! love this place (y)

its a garage, not a shop. wife has shelving along walls and center of garage. no way (yet) to attach along walls which is when i looked up, thinking i can string through joists and hang an outlet if i ever get her stuff out of garage, i can rewire

You've got me thinking. That said, I already have the wire, standard 12-2 wg. Using the single stranded wires, never even crossed my mind. (I also already have boxes and breaker). What I was thinking (please tell me if I'm the moron my wife sometimes insists I am!!!) What I was thinking...

We moved some stuff around in the garage. The garage essentially has zero outlets in there. Brother in law (electrician) thought it was going to be a finished room.... had bare block walls, so I suppose he was waiting for the studs to go in. They never did! I think I've seen workshops that...
