Today a friend hooked me up with the mother load. There is an eighty's model Diablo. A pickup bed trailer. Another frame for a pickup bed trailer. I accidently loaded some of the 2" pipe i was...

I took in insulated wire and got low r rate of .30 lb. ! Best i can tell the .25 lb is much better with all that metal weight with it. I cut two of them apart and got about .1 oz the transformers...

Thanks i may try that for now. I have torn apart everything i can find with a cord on it. Ive been throwing money away for years. Ive got a crate simply for motors. As of now motor weight is 100...

Im not a pro myself but your doing like i used to. You should seperate that metal on front to back on your trailer. Take anything over a quarter inch thick and cut it into two foot sections. Then...

Agreed on that one even aluminum breakage usually pays .30 to .40. But dont feel bad i was getting ripped everytime before i found this site.

Thanks, and yeah and the three batteries helped out a little as well. The best part is i didnt short change myself on much other than insulated wire. And the unprepaired metal.

My yards say number two painted or not. With no welds or fittings.
Original poster keep all those coils you can find. They are excellent money for the work involved.

What about the compressors. Do they take them and what do they buy them as?

Agree with posters i deal with capacitors all the time. I am a journey man hvac installer. New capacitors will not discharge like the old ones. Just dont take them apart there is no need any way. ...
