I use a stick welder to desulfate my batteries. The low amp chargers never seem to have the balls to get serious, but a stick welder at 50-100 amps can get the solution boiling violently, drop internal resistance and increase steady voltage. Sure, if you create hydrogen gas in a closed area, you...

Weld it. I broke the ball end off of my top link, tore the ball cage open. I cut the broken ball cage off of the shaft end and prepared the shaft for welding. I ordered a china replacement ball end from Amazon, welded it on a couple years back and have had no issues since.

I'll jump on with the new diesel heater. I have one heating my 20x20 2 floor cabin, and one heating my 12x24 uninsulated shed. They are pretty much amazing and cheap. I went with an Hcalory brand for both spaces over the Vevor, my buddy has the Vevor and the pulse fuel pump is much much louder...

I ride a proper sport touring bike, a 2018 Kwikasfucki Concours 1400. There is nothing like 2.9 second 0-60, 155 mph continent crushing bike with an engine known to deliver 300K miles and more for reliability. It's got the heart of the ZX1400 ninja and the soul of a Goldwing. It's equal neither...

This guy knows the way. I have captured 7 so far this way, in a box trap. You hold a sheet and walk to it, I do not wory much about my feet, I just hold my hands up ad out with the sheet barely touching the ground. You drape the sheet over ad the skunk just angrily jerks around trying to...

Thank you very much for this morsel of education. I am going to be doing a 10'X60' deck next year at my camp, and I plan to use my auger for the first time to get the 12" wide by 36" deep holes done. Then I will use a hand post hole digger to get the code required 18" diameter. I will absolutely...

So you think that these guys claiming that they are flying MILES away have people staged with radios every quarter mile to maintain visual? I would believe it, if they are 107 pilots with a crew, but your quotation of the law further strengthens my statement. These people are flying illegally...

So, this is a problem with aerial camera platforms (drones) and uneducated users. And this is why the federal government will continue to apply more and more counter measures to the devices. You are not permitted above 400' above ground level, unless over a structure, then it is 400' above that...

You are an FAA licensed pilot, yet you are spreading misinformation. Let me help you remember your pre-license training a bit, and provide these people with some truth. https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/small-unmanned-aircraft-systems-uas-regulations-part-107 For those of you flying as hobbyists...

Eddie, You will need to study and get you FAA Part 107 pilots license to use the drone for YT video. The FAA does look for drone footage used by non licensed pilots in a for profit way. If your YT account is monetized and has adds, your a prime target for the FAA to come at you with charges and...

I thought I would update what I did, since I kind of forgot about this. My buddy has a lathe, so he turned the lower sump case that I showed in the pics above, then he turned down a bronze sleeve and cemented it in with the oil feed hole still in play. He turned the crank down 0.005", so the...

So, I went last Saturday and ordered an Amish built 24' X 12' shed. I talked to the fellow making the sheds, and he stocks used oil and offered to spray it for me for a price. I declined, as I can do it myself easy enough with a garden sprayer. His opinion is that some of his sheds on the farm...

I have 3 trailers with wood planks for the deck and I have been annually brushing on Olympic transparent sealer stain, but each year it flakes off and needs re-applied. I've seen/read where old timers use used motor oil mixed with diesel or kerosene and brush it on the wood on a hot summer...

When I bought my L3560 tractor, I went and bought a new Sitrex 72" finish mower and a 72 brush hog. My thought was that I would get side work with the finish mower. I used it one time at my father in laws place and never used it again. It's taking space in my 12X30 shed for the last 2 years and...
