    Default HELP..... ive caught the refurb BUG


    Hello all.
    Firstly I have good news. IM EMPLOYED again. Bad news is ive caught the refurb virus...I see potential refurbs everywhere.
    now im in a dilemma.
    i managed to aquire a Richardson pedestal drill press for nothing. and now i managed to get 3 items a honda GX630 and Honda GX620 motor and a Fusheng TA-65 compressor pump from an auction for $29.
    My dilemma is what do i do first....
    the drill press although it looks ok i think it is gonna be alot of work. The spindal dosnt come down and it dosnt spin either i think its jammed or rusted..and there is a funky smell coming from the motor. Either way its a bummer.
    now the other 3 items
    the Fusheng TA-65 compressor pump looks good, its coveres in a THICK layer of dirt but i reckon its a diamond in the rough.
    The GX620 is missing a few items but
    the GX630 looks almost complete.....
    Hahaha In all this thinking i had another thought. If i can get the GX630 going and the compressor pump going i might be able to make a protable compressor ... another project
    what to do first .... decisions, decisions.....
    anyways there are some photos for you all to look at

    Immediately pull everything apart and spread said parts throughout your shed.
    Mix well and forget about for a few years whilst you start more projects.
    You’ll have then caught up to where I’m at currently.

    Start on the drill press. That looks like it may come up nice!

    Although I tend to do what clearout says!

    The refurb bug is a highly infectious disease with no vaccine or known cure.

    I agree.

    Herd immunity is the only hope so it means everyone needs to get the bug!

    Everyone start refurbing!!!
