They can be done in the hole. ...

I would mig it out
I may straighten out a lock washer so it doesnt grab, that first, then a flat then a nut....

I also do the same cleaning and "dressing" with the grinder. Makes for great paint finish when the spatter, humps and sharp edges dressed and leveled off so the paint doesnt run off. That kind of cleaning makes for long lasting paint. I been doing it long enough its about a reflexs and zippy...

A lot of people worry a lot about liability and such but doing a neat job removes a lot of that. It would be tough to try to find fault with that. I avoid the inspectors like a plauge but they aint out looking to find who dun this mess. The electric inspector thinks I am an electrician and I dont really...

I understand Dons position. This is in a visable spot, the clean work shows and speaks for itself. If I was doing this as a,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, contractor,,,,, for lack of better wording would have whacked the post with a grinder a little and not beveled or root fit any of this and most likely...

Looks great
I do grind the old steel. It makes spatter stick but makes the edges wet out. Not important here, the appearance is good and it's super strong....

Other than a tip a new operator boogers up the machine is so new a hobby type doesnt need to do anything to it.

Found you didnt need the filter. That should be national news. Mine doesnt have it, never saw one till the net came along and it became a must have.
I agree with the legs. I fix mine a little as well as the sump was kind of cheap but it's a Safety or Graymills....

(If we put the 2 machines on the other side of the wall where they couldnt be seen or heard I bet the list of people could tell them apart from the stinger end with a 1/8 would be rather short....

I am going to have to fire a stick up on my6 synch next to the DC buzzer. Its been a while since I ran any machine side by side. Last time I did it was the Maxstar and I actually give a little edge to the buzzer on restarts....

I am not sure how trying to gob on to a cheap engine would be more reliable than an upgrade to water cooled, a vast improvement from air in most cases....

[Sberry]

I only had a couple minutes to look but whoory cow, the pile of machines and the different models. Would take a couple hours to sort thru them all....

[Sberry]

I am with Aero a bit on this. I am all for innovation but they got enough crap on them now. Seems if we were after indestructible we could simply beef up the electronics. Detune it all so its not working so hard....

[Sberry]

They have invented this,,, called the water cooled engine....

[Sberry]

We gonna fix them better? These are well designed machines with a long history. Are we really going to wear them out? Maybe we gonna race them?

[Sberry]

I used 1/2 hose on the reel. I didnt have to change for bigger tools. ...

[Sberry]

i had 20 hp and 46 gallons of bottles under the truck. ...

[Sberry]

Maybe more than really "how good" it is on some level is size. My Bud has a 13 hp washer he paid 800 for like new, bough jt used but its gonna last forever because he only uses it a little. It works so well that its super fast and he is done....

[Sberry]

Had a guy PM me,,, says, dont tell those other guys but I use that grinder too,,,, ha. There was a guy wondering where to get a box of Metabos fixed. I said,, replace them with this Walmart grinder. Oh no,,,, what would happen if it broke oe didnt work for decades, I said,,, could be filed next to...

[Sberry]

Had a town neighbor spend a week grinding off some brackets in a pickup conversion with a little comp and a small tool. I thought wow, would have been a couple hrs work to a journeyman with electric grinder....
