    Looking for crane, trolley, I-beam, rigging help/advice

    yep I ain't dead yet. The ends are nothing more than Horrible freight trolley wheels and some angle iron. A little machining for the axle shafts. I made the angle iron just long enough to control the beam from binding up when pulling from one end.

    Backyard mechanic taps

    So you totally shot down a friend who came to you with what he thought was a good idea. Maybe a little explanation instead of being "insulted" would have helped him a little more. Don't be surprised if he doesn't come back to you for advice or help in the future. Way to treat a "friend"

    Welder for a newbie?

    Turn off the gas and now you have a gasless mig. I run both wire through mine. Once you learn a little you will be glad you bought a gas type mig. You can't go the other way.

    OT When I hit "NEW POSTS" this comes up

    I have been getting the same thing but not all the time. I thought it was related to me rebooting my computer. P.S. Hey Ray I used my bandsaw clamp yesterday and it always makes me think of you. :D

    Head gasket leak that doesn't cause the coolant system to overflow in Powerstroke

    You might look into the injector cups as this is a common place to loose coolant. I replaced mine at 285 k miles when I did the injectors. Two of them were showing signs of leaking.
