I have the 750X. That one says it will sharpen bits from 3/32" up to 3/4". Got mine a couple years back as a Black Friday gift to myself.

I have the one that will sharpen up to 3/4" bits. I like it. It takes a little getting used to at first, but once you figure out the little tricks it only takes seconds to sharpen bits. Most of my initial problems were more than likely operator error than the machine's fault. A set of sharp...

Any updates to this project? Would love to grab a set for the project. I am almost to the point where I need to mount a shifter.

Thanks for all the info guys. Seems like there are lots of options available. I ended up picking up a used 4wd Massey-Ferguson at a great rate. It needs a few parts, so while I am at the dealer I will ask what they recommend for the Perkins Diesel engine.

Im not brand or model particular. All I care is that it works when I need it to. Just trying to get an idea of what people run in it. I agree about there being as many suggestions about mixtures as boost levels as your stated. I spent a couple hours reading and found lots of contradictions...

I am looking at buying an older diesel backhoe to do a bunch of dirt work on a piece of property I am buying. My question isn't about what tractor to get, but rather what is the best way to combat the ultra-low sulfur diesel fuels? Just as ethanol is bad for our older gas engines, low sulfur...

Thank you Charlie. We will give it a couple days and if I have any luck I will post in the local section.

Anyone know of a machine shop in the Syracuse, NY area that can redrill axle flanges and also machine down the part center flange where the wheel and rotor fit over? I am putting a Ford 8.8 in my old Hybrid project, and need to 5x4.75 pattern drilled and also the shoulder machined to fit the...

I'm in. Money sent. This is a great thing going on here.

I'm not changing the ends. I am leaving the ends the same. The area that is being cut is the tube, where it meets the carrier. I drilled out the 3 plug welds and pressed the entire tube out. Outer ends are being left untouched and are maintaining the normal tapered down ends and factory caliper...

So for my little hybrid project I needed a strong rear end that was fairly cheap for me to obtain/build. I tried a rear end out of a late model chevy blazer, but that was too wide by about 2 inches for the wheel/tire combo I wanted. I would have had to run a very narrow tire on it. Even...

Is anyone going to or bringing their car to the Syracuse Nationals this weekend?

Unfortunate events, but justified.

Wish I had one of those tubing benders, or any tubing bender actually. I can't make such nice things with my 4.5" angle grinder, torches, and mig welder. Pretty good information on how to strengthen the chassis though.

Has anyone tried Steele Rubber??? They have lots of weatherstripping available. Here is the link - http://www.steelerubber.com/search?year=1987&make=buick&model=regal&style=2-door-coupe
