RE: Reese Hitches compared to Pullrite

Kayc21: Click on the clicky and read and watch all the videos.
Clicky
The capture plate you talk of makes the hitch head slide.
It mounts to your pin box and can be put on or taken off in minutes.

RE: Greasing wheel bearings

If your axle looks like mine below there is no need to hand pack your bearings. I do mine with the dust cover off so as not to over grease.

RE: Coffee Maker Elevator

Awesome job! What was your inspiration? Have you seen something like this before or did it just come to you in your sleep? Inquiring minds want to know.
My Father was a machinist/gunsmith and was always designing and building stuff. Must have got it from him.

RE: Coffee Maker Elevator

I've been asked on another forum,how I keep the shelf up.
Here are pictures of how it's done.
Arm holding shelf up.
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL992/4288072/22618539/378024309.jpg
When the arm is turned all the way back the shelf is free to come down.

RE: Coffee Maker Elevator

Can you give us the plans and materials so we can do the same thing?
I love our Bunn coffee.
Hope this makes sense to you.
Plywood is 1/2" oak.
The sheet screwed to the wall is 32 3/4" high by 15" wide.
The sheet that slides up and down is 15 5/8" high and 15" wide.
The shelf is 7 1/4" wide and 15"long.
Here's a picture that shows the slides better.They are 15" mounted parallel to each other at a 35 degree angle.
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL992/4288072/22618539/377885660.jpg
The trim around the shelf is 1 1/4" X 1/4"
The back board is 1/4" plywood.

RE: Coffee Maker Elevator

Neat, but why does it have to be on an elevator? Wpuldn't a simple shelf do?
With it up on a permanent shelf under the upper cabinet you wouldn't be able to pour water in the top tank. Thats why the elevator.

Coffee Maker Elevator

Bought a new Bunn coffee maker which took up more space than the previous brand that couldnt brew a decent cup coffee.
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL992/4288072/22618539/376038270.jpg
Decided it had to get up and out of the way. I couldn't mount it permanantly under upper cubbard because it fills from the top.
So I made an elevator out of two pices of finished 1/2" plywood and two 15" drawer guides.
Here it is ready for filling.
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL992/4288072/22618539/377885640.jpg
Here it is up out if the way ready for dispensing.There is an arm (not shown) that swings out under the shelf to keep it in the up position.

RE: Adjusting Pin Box?

Here's what I would do.
Mount it like you say 1 bolt rear 2 bolts center.
(1)I would then reach inside the pin box and scribe the outline of the front hole in your pin box to the outside mount plates.
(2) Remove the pin box and drill new holes in outer plates.
Now you will have 4 bolts holding instead of three. 1 rear 2 middle 1 front

Dexter self adjusting brakes

Just got done installing new Dexter self adjusting brakes. Complete setup per wheel was $62.75.
http://pic80.picturetrail.com/VOL992/4288072/22671191/377047161.jpg
The old ones are not used up by any means. I just got sick of adjusting brakes. So if anybody needs a set of Alco 12"X 2" brakes they are free for the taking.
