30 Liter? Wow thats going to take a lot to fill! What are you planning on using?

Not totally sure yet. Probably water, sometimes a cheaper cleaner like purple power. The small parts go in peanut butter jars filled with various stuff. I wanted something I could fit cases and fuel tanks in easily.

what about this phase converter?

That’s for my drill press. I’ve been drilling everything by hand for months.

KB drives are supposed to be really good. I have an identical one on my lathe and it’s been perfect. I like that the controls are analog. No plastic touch panels to fritz out. Not cheap though.

I have been wanting this truck for over 40 years and it finally became mine yesterday. One owner, sold new at the dealership where I work and 41,746 miles. 345 V-8, 4 speed transmission, 2 speed rear and a twin cylinder hoist under a Midwest grain body.

Not sure how to use the phase converter but pretty sure I want one

The phase converter allows me to run 3phase motors on my machine tools. I headed that direction when my lathe motor died. (This one is for my heavy drill press). I really like 3phase because it’s much quieter and the tools run strong with lower horsepower motors. These KBMA drives have a potentiometer that allows you to slow the machine to super low speeds and also protects the motor from burning up under heavy loads. It’s just a smoother, safer motor system. My lathe runs a lot better now and the cuts are much smoother. Neither machine requires ear protection. I was skeptical at first but it’s worth it.

3 phase motors are cheaper too
