    Propane Tank Outdoor Storage

    Would an RV waste tank heater work. Some can be used at 120 volt or 12 volt. They have sensors that turn on/off at correct temps. I have them on my RV and run them on the batteries.

    Any way to weld the thin metal on tractors and attachments?

    Use a copper backing plate (because mig weld will not stick to it) and .025 solid wire with 75-25% gas. Short 3/4" - 1" welds spaced 3/4 - 1" apart and then fill in between, should not burn through. I've been doing this on my '65 Chevy Malibu body panels, it's been working well for me.

    Finally got power after tornado.

    I worked for a hospital in the area that hurricane Charlie visited in 2004. Other hospitals in the chain donated many items for employees and local families. My DIL used the last of the mesquite I was asked to relieve the hospital of, on Thanksgiving, to cook the turkey over in a dutch oven.

    The picture didn't come in the first time I posted. It looks like the inner pad is worn out but outer pad is not. Get a new set and remount the caliper assembly and see if it re-centers. Maybe clean and lubricate the assembly mount.
