The new building is separate from the old garage by about 5'.
Current box in the old garage is 100 amp with a place for up to 60 amp breaker to run my new garage.
CODE means nothing in this area I live, at least no one else is going to give me grief if this isn't done buy the book. I have talked to the power company friend of mine who is also an electrician. Also to a local electrician, who is planning on coming over tomorrow to see what I have. Over the phone with him this morning, Jason says I can tap into the 3 wire line at the top of my mast and run it over to the new building, bypassing the old garages breaker BOX. In this case I may need to get a different box for the new garage, that has a main breaker already installed. I guess maybe I jumped the gun with the box I purchased and installed, WTH it's only 35.00 I guess. At any rate I am trying to avoid doing the 4 wire run between the buildings as that would then require me to install a 4 wire cable to my air compressor.....grrrrrr...already have a 3 wire on hand for that.
And I now understand what's the deal with the neutral and ground busses....but this new box I have installed now only has a neutral buss....with a screw to tie the buss to the box if need be, in this case it will be connected and the #4 copper wire will also be ran to the neutral buss from my NEW ground rod....
Having said all this, I know you want to throw the book at me, lol, but why won't this work with a 3-wire overhead to my new building IF I replace this box with a 100amp box and breaker?

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
