I tried rebuilding my A/C twice ...... Either a bad Chinese pump (1) or I needed a 7.5 hp elec. mtr.(2) I ended up purchasing a new Quincy from N. Tools and plumbing the two together for 120 gal. Takes care of my 100 lb sand blaster easily. Good luck, John Zick.
John, a very very, old friend has been trying to shanghai me down to the Florida Gulf Coast for many years now. Thing for me is that you have pay as you go Doctor, Dental, and Hospital Fees, which we do not have up here in the land of the Frozen Chosen. I concede that the bite comes in the form of higher taxes, but what i don't see on my pay check I do see when I walk into Emerg with my guts all knotted up and the first thing they don't do is enquire, "And how are you planning to pay for this?" Or charge me a grand or better for an ambulance ride.
He likes it down there. Me, I like it when I don't have to include a personal weapon in my list of things to remember to bring with. I also appreciate being able to speak North American English without having someone in my face about he thinks should be the language that I ought to speak.
Wisconsin, yeah it is cold in the winter, and the spring, and the late fall. But there is a lot of miles and miles where there is nothing but miles and miles. Pilgrim I have known and done business with for several decades just retired and bailed out the Miinne Metroplex for the peace and serenity of Northern Wisc. HE Likes it There, and so does his wife.
If I was about 45 years younger and far, far healthier than I am now, Florida would be attractive. I could spend my days in some rural area drinking coffee on the veranda and dealing death to the Alligators and Snakes that come a-trespassing. Cousin of mine used to enjoy that, being on the porch at daylight with a cup of coffee and a long gun, just waiting for something edible to come wandering by so he could end its misery and invite it in for supper as the guest of honor; baked, roasted, deep fried, stewed, or BBQ, with fresh veggies from the garden to go with.

I wanted someplace to put my funnels so I used my old universal coolant overflow jug from my Monte and cut the top off and mounted it to my cabinet and then added a clear hose and shut off valve so I can drain it if I have to.
I was just going to throw the jug away since I was cleaning out the garage and I didn't have a use for it but found one as I was looking at it.

I've got a little adapter that an oil bottle screws into
I found some variations searching online.
Could get creative with threaded fittings a some hose. Piece of PVC reduced to a hose fitting, then a piece of hose to a container.
I have to look into that. I'm sure I have excess fittings around to re-purpose.
It's a 3D print. A friend of mine designed it.
oil funnel drip catching mount v2 by BartmanEH
A way to store a dirty dripping funnel, such as an oil funnel. Just screw in an empty quart oil bottle into the bottom and rest the dripping oily funnel on the top. The mount is a V-Mount for easy removal of the mount. Also fits a standard soda pop bottle. The cut out in the arm is for storing...

Finally had the right weekend with weather & time to get in & start the spring cleaning. Amazing things that find their way into the garage during the winter.
