We have an older forklift, which runs great and serves our purposes but there is one problem with it. The internal mast rises before the forks are fully extended/lifted.....howev... you want to say it.....The problem that it causes is the mast hits the ceiling and the bottom of the pallet being lifted is only 8-9' off the floor. I need the forklift to reach up another 3' so that I can get it on the top shelf of the pallet racking that I just bought. Does anyone know how to change the order of how the forklift raises the forks so that the forks rise before the internal mast starts to rise? Is it even possible?

I got this wall oven for my mother because hers broke and could not be repaired. We were given it minus a users manual. When Whirlpool was contacted they told us they don't have manuals more than 10 years old. Where can I get one? We can't get the oven to work without it. I hope someone can help! I've scoured the net already. Thanks!

My dryer takes about 3-4 times to dry one load and there is almost never lint in the tray. So I cleaned out all the lint I could get to under the tray it came out all wet and really pressed. Now when I turn it on, it does get hot but the inside of the dryer is all wet and sweaty as if I took a shower in it. Is there a way to open it up and check inside to see if there is anything clugged up. Or could it be a problem with the this heater thing in the back (it does glow red hot) when i run it. Please help what can I check for how can I solve this probleme

The bolts are metal, the are NOT corroded. With the type of toilet I have, the bolts do NOT come out underneath the toilet, so there is no wing nut or anything to loosen and/or hold on the other end of the bolt. They just spin in place when I try to turn them with a screwdriver. What to do?

I found an old rusty horse shoe in my window well on the side of my house. My house has a history: it was an old cape but then they razed it, and made a new house. My basement and foundation is the same though. I am trying to get the rust off the top because it says something, so i soaked it in vinegar. I think it says Rodeo. But I want to know what year it is from to see how old it is. Any ideas how to get the rust off and get fing out what year it is from?

I have a Black & Decker cordless drill (model AD600). Right now we have a bit in there (flathead screwdriver) and it won't come out. I know we're using the right bit (it came with the dang thing). Last time all we had to do was push down on the part holding the bit in. Of course, we don't have the manual and it isn't available online. We just bought this thing last weekend. My husband doesn't want to just return it but I think something is wrong with it.

Air bubbles come up from the drain in my first floor toilet every time the toilet upstairs is flushed, or the shower is running, or the washing machine is draining. Also, the toilet doesn't always flush all the way. Usually every other time I flush it, the water rises to the top of the bowl and then slowly returns to the original level, but doesn't flush all the way. It sometimes works perfectly fine though. Oh, and I don't have a basement, my main water lines are on the same level as the problem toilet.

So far I set up a small referigator, micro-wave, paper napkins,
salt and pepper. There is a motor van that drives by each day to offer snacks and mexican food to buy. Should I offer bottle drinking water or set out a coffee pot with coffee. Or have a
B-Q dinner on Friday around 5:00.

Go to www.gaspricewatch.com
You put in your town and state and a map comes up showing the gas stations with the cheapest gasoline. And you can type in regular or unleaded too.

I know I could remove the door and have it stripped professionally but it's not practical. I have come across laquer and varnish removers but can't find a wax stripper - so far!
