[QUOTE="vinito, post: 90195, member: 12954"] True dat. I didn't have a chance to mess with it tonight anyway. I have a couple tires on this thing that only last about a day - leaking at the bead. So I broke one of them down, cleaned the seat and tire and liberally slathered some sealer on the bead, then put it back together. Had to use the starting fluid trick to seat the bead. Anyway, that took three hours for one tire with my cheapie tire tools. So I'll shift my focus for the auger onto making it mount to the machine then so I can try it out for real. That shouldn't be too bad, but it will probably be a few days before I can shoehorn it into the todo list. I ordered the valve, a couple hoses, fittings and a couple quick coupler sets today. I figured I'd go with the flush face ones since that's what is usually on the rentable attachments in case I ever need to do that. It might be here before next weekend. Hopefully that goes smoothly. I can't imagine it should be problematic - all new stuff and I studied what I have pretty carefully so it should all fit up with what I bought. Rightsie-tightsie. About the worst of it is I'll probably have to make a new mounting plate for the larger valve stack, and I might as well make a decent bracket for the auxiliary connectors. Thanks for the replies. It always makes sense. [/QUOTE]
