    Chemtrails

    XKCD (y) https://xkcd.com/966/ (Be sure to hover your mouse over the image to get the alt-text, for a continuation of the joke) The other good one is about the moon landings. "We never landed on the moon!" "You believe in the moon???"

    In-Floor Heating for a Shop & Greenhouse - Considerations ?

    If and when we get to the point of building a big shop, I'm going to take a good look at a geothermal heat pump system. Preferably with a ground loop, but even an outside air unit can be used to heat water to go into the slab. Operating cost should be lower than any fossil fuel, and even less...

    remove crimped fuse holder from block.

    Nearly all terminals have a spring hook like this one does. It's just a matter of finding something thin enough to slide next to the terminal to depress it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M9HGW7Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Battery powered chainsaw

    The best way to jump charge a battery is to take it apart, and test and boost the individual cells. Barring that, jumping voltage across the entire pack will also charge the cell(s) that are lower than the rest, hopefully getting them close enough that the charger can balance them. If the...

    Battery powered chainsaw

    I have a few ryobi 40v tools, and have been really considering the 40v chainsaw. But I'd get it from their direct tools site, since it's usually cheaper. (they have a contract with home depot to only sell new tools through them. "Factory Blemished" can be tools that are actually blemished, or...

    Left my inch lb torque wrench on setting for two months. Is it ruined now?

    Like others have mentioned, clamp the head in a vice, and use a digital scale (I have a luggage scale) to see if it's off, or not. If it's off, open it up and add a spacer between the spring and the adjuster, then re-test. I calibrated my 20-120(ish) ft-lb torque wrench this way. something...

    MT180 drawbar, 3pt stabilizer, and 4wd questions. Also some front end loader capacity info.

    #2: Can you post a picture of what yours looks like? #3: On my MT210D, the 4wd lever moves a few inches at least. I've had to lube the detente ball in the lever several times, since it was keeping the lever from moving forward into 4wd. If that isn't it, you may be able to take the lid off...

    Electric rad fan s650-g

    I put a mini one-wire alt in mine, and I think it was around 35A too. If you check the voltage at the battery while the fan is running, it should stay around 13.5-14.5v. Ideally the voltage would stay the same with the fan on and off. Then you know the alternator is providing enough for it...

    Electric rad fan s650-g

    Just make sure your alternator can handle the load ;) I would set the turn on temperature a bit over the thermostat temperature, then full speed 10-20°s above that.

    Mt210D trans problem

    There should be ~10 bolts in the plate that the gear shifter goes through on top of the transmission. You can remove this entire plate and look down in the transmission. From there you should be able to see if anything looks off, or if there are spots missing gears. When I got mine the...

    KMW FEL on MT372D, lift cylinder rebuild/replace?

    It looks like the end will just unthread (it will probably be TIGHT). After that it's just a matter of being detailed, and replacing the o-rings and other things on the end of the piston. I assume a local hydraulic shop could source the parts.

    3 point lift question

    Bump Wisdom of the Ancients I recently got a post hole digger, so I had to have the height control working better. Turns out the feedback rod from the 3pt (#34) to the hydraulics (#28) was locked up, causing it to not work properly. In the image, pin 31 was frozen in lever 28. Rod 33 was...

    3 point lift question

    This is the flow control knob, that doesn't move. Not sure why this one is sideways, but this is the lever to raise or lower the 3 point.

    3 point lift question

    I have a MT210D. Ever since I've had it, the 3 point will only lift at all, then go all the way up, in the last inch or so of the 6" of travel in the lever. Is this supposed to be normal? I can get the lift half way down if I move the lever back down ~half an inch. Any ideas why it would do...

    Yet another stuck clutch (mt210D)
