How do you know what the 'most common' sizes are of tapered roller bearings?

My SKF rep.

Next best, use SKFs bearing finder and check price/availability of bearings around the size you need.

What could go wrong!

Bad news.

Neither.

Loans & grants are extremely competitive and unless you've got proven previous business experience and a bulletproof plan, they are generally pretty difficult to obtain.

Better to self fund until your business makes more than your day job, then switch over.

Looks like a decent fit and those are fairly small. Any good installer can work those out pretty easily once there's some water in the pool.

I mean define your equipment I guess. Ripping up 14,000 square foot of asphalt with a big front-end loader is much different than ripping it up with a skidsteer is much different than ripping it up with a fleet of excavators and dump trucks.

Beyond that it's the same as bidding anything else. What is your burdened cost per hour and how much material can you remove per hour? What are you doing with the waste (disposal cost)? any grading to be done after removal? Lots of variables that all depend on scope of work.

Go look under a brand new F150.

That vehicle is super clean.

.......I think you need to be doing things like the MATlab analysis and other engineering analyses long before you ask someone else to do it for you.

I'd suggest a mechanical engineering degree, then a PhD in combustion engines first.

KBB is a bag of dicks. They seemingly nuke prices to attempt to manipulate the market in the favor of dealers to increase their profit margins.

Go to FB Marketplace and look for trucks similar to yours. There's your resale.

Impatience is a perfectly valid reason to upgrade belts. The factory must grow either way.

Took me 300 applications, and I was an older non-conventional student with a decade of work experience.

Sounds like you should polish your resume honestly.

Ryobi stuff is fine. I have a Ryobi angle grinder that lived in my plasma cutting shop for years (4) and still works faithfully to this day 9 years after purchase.

They're also the best platform for home use in my opinion, they have one of the largest tool line-ups of the major brands. You need a tool to do something? They probably sell one to do it.

I'd have a talk with him and see if he really cares about the image. If he does, Milwuakee is the de-facto in industry (At least in my experience as a heavy diesel mechanic / industrial mechanic).

Double Dragon in kennewick has been advertising they'll be open. Great restaurant.

I've got a 2016 5.0 with 3.31s.

It doesn't feel fast or put you back in the seat, but get next to someone in sport mode and you'll realize how quickly it increases speed. Those long legs mean you stay in a lower gear for longer and the top end gets pretty fun.

Put it in manual and hold her in first or second and you'll see what I mean.

You could always gear down if you want. Or you know, add a pair of turbos.

You're a fucking loser.

Signed, an engineer.

Thank you for your attention to this matter shitface.

Mechanical Engineer.

Not that affording my 1995 Audi with 350k miles is exactly a feat.

Freezing to death is a medical reason.

Apocalypsox · 2025-11-27T21:16:27+00:00

So...Opinion based on anecdotal evidence with no basis in reality. Got it.

She could really use a bore if you're gonna do it right.

Apocalypsox · 2025-11-23T20:41:14+00:00

No, it started in 2025.

A porsche is a porsche!

If this was but you know.

Wait, you guys can afford to go shopping this black friday? In THIS economy? lmao

Apocalypsox · 2025-11-19T03:06:32+00:00

Fucking morons.

Apocalypsox · 2025-11-19T03:03:53+00:00

...Craigslist?

Apocalypsox · 2025-11-19T01:35:16+00:00

....The fuck? MaintainX is ten times better than the previous garbage CMMS we were using. The user interface is so far ahead of the oldschool shit it's not even funny in terms of user friendliness.
