Do you have a point, or just feeling cocky?

NO!

Purposely flood your country with illegals from countries considered 3rd world countries, and we become like that 3rd world country. Is there anything surprising about that?

Don’t EVER confuse and call nasty useless yellow jackets.. “bees”. They are NOT bees

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_customer_is_always_right “customer complaints should be treated seriously so that customers do not feel cheated or deceived.”

Sure all my laughing on post 161..😂

Not excited at all. You on the other hand, obviously are annoyed

…another ad hominem attack…

You certainly do seem to like to rely on ad hominem attacks.

The gaslighting being put forward here is hilarious 🤣 Looks like there’s some poster’s here , who should go snatch up this excavator. Put your $ where your mouth is… right?😂 Dealer probably didn’t even bother to clean it for the next potential customer either, since it’s such a shining...

Right….🙄

Either one, by the looks of it. Which is more likely?

Not a very accurate article though,either by mistake or intentional .. “Carbon dioxide is tasteless and odorless and can cause dizziness, permanent brain damage with prolonged exposure, and even death, according to the Mayo Clinic. ”

As far as I know, The only square wave would be the control signal, not the power for charging the battery itself

Yes, that blade….. Why is that blade assembly absolutely spotless, no dust or dirt, but the main machine is covered in dust, and dirt? 🤔 Is that assembly made with magic anti-dust/dirt paint?

Do you have a clamp on ac meter? I’m guessing it’s only equipped with 1 current donut, and is probably only valid amp and power readings for balanced loads. If you want to see what it’s measuring, and you do have a clamp on, turn off all breakers except a 240 volt load like an active electric...

All speculation till you post the schematic, or description of the amp/ watt screen from your owners manual

Problem with that setup, is the amp reading will only be correct for L1 to L2 flow. It’s totally wrong for 120v circuits. Example: 1 amp flows L1 to L2. Meter “sees” 2 amps because of double wires through the donut. 1 amp flows through L1 to N meter only “”sees” 1 amp. So first, the amp...

Did it come with a manual that explains what current path the amp display is actually displaying? Running 2 of the wrong wires through a single current donut can cause an increase in load to incorrectly read as a decrease because of cancellation. Hopefully you don’t have that going on

Watts will be calculated off of measurement volts, and amps. The question is …. How many current donuts does it use? Can you switch the amp display to show each leg individually? You can have leg 1 to neutral current. You can have leg 2 to neutral current. You can have leg 1 to leg 2 current...

Nothing compared to today’s add on restaurant fees, but I still remember my disbelief for getting charged an extra buck for maple syrup to go with my Belgium waffle. She later explained, the common fake syrup would have been free. I remember another place charging 50 cents for pads of butter...

The video has the guy holding 2 different Tutela brand oils, which can be bought anywhere, including Amazon. Not sure what you saw.

Their opinion:

We’ve used products like this successfully...

Waitress: Here’s your fillet mignon and baked potato with sour cream , and salad dinner you ordered. The OP: Send it back! That’s not what I wanted. Looks like someone already chewed it up. Tractor by Net peanut gallery: What an entitled, baby the OP was. It’s gonna get combed and mixed...

🤔 Where did you read this? Can you post a link to it , please? The particular elastomer composition would have to be discussed, to start. I’d love to see an actual technical study that compared a gearbox lubricated with good gear oil against a gearbox lubricated with UTTO, where they found the...

I wonder if the nice, friendly posters belittling the OP, calling him a deekhead , entitled, whiny, baby, etc, .. have never returned a product in their lifetime?🤔 Any successful transaction requires a meeting of the minds of both the buyer and seller. It obviously didn’t happen here. The OP...

If the dealer keeps delivering “new” equipment in that condition, I imagine there will be more cases of parting company

Exactly, and how many would honestly admit it?

To each your own, buddy I use it in a big older piece of equipment that gets used occasionally. More than good enough for that. Besides, last I checked, the thread was titled and started by someone in a similar situation, looking for inexpensive ISO 46 .

Damn. I’ve never seen a member here get so much nasty disrespect and Ill will from fellow forum members for returning something they bought. Seems to have struck a nerve with equipment dealer affiliates…how many here?🤔

Have you never in your life, returned something? Why are you being so mean spirited and disparaging to the OP?

You seem to still have plenty of money, judging by your posts

You need to visit the eye doctor apparently..

I picked up a 5 gallon pail today. 39.99. Today’s the last day of the $10 off , for anyone interested

I’m wondering if the dealer didn’t get back that excavator from somebody with 7 hours of use, and had an issue with the plow assembly, and swapped it out with a new one? Notice how the whole bolt-on plow assembly looks brand new , with …… no dust or dirt on it.🤔 Did I miss the “technical “...

I didn’t say anything about the exhaust manifold. I mentioned this painted cast bracket. Already bright rust around the nut and surface rust along the length of it. When I buy a new machine, I look for crap like this, and it influences my decision. We get it, you obviously don’t care about the...

I never use anti-seize on spark plugs, and never will. If you feel the need, make sure you compensate on torque values, and make sure it’s an electrically conductive version

Ok. I thought it was steel. That’s why I posed it as a question. I’m not familiar with that particular part

Looks like it’s fresh out of the factory 😂

You’re right. That machine is brand new. Even the rocks wedged in the tracks are brand new. Spotless 🙄

Dented? Gouged. Not sure. Looks kinda crappy. Lower bolt bracket already rusting. Bad factory paint coverage? Air filter cover not put on correctly. Is kubota getting sloppy at the factory, or did someone remove the cover on a “new” machine, and why so? At least the factory person who applied...

Only new about that was, new, to you. Looks well used. Even the air filter cover is put on mis-oriented. And what’s with that assembly below the air filter? All gouged up? Very fortunate they refunded your $

I still don’t believe it’s the turbo. I still don’t believe it’s fuel injectors. All your symptoms point towards a sudden, serious lack of fuel. Turbo definitely won’t cause that, neither will a bank of injectors. Your engine is thermostat controlled, water cooled. Working it hard snowblowing...

Yes, yes you ARE confused..still. Mobil 424, and Delvac are Tractor/transmission hydraulic fluids, thus meet the GL4 specification, as does Tractor supply Premium Tractor /transmission fluid. For the third time…inexpensive Tractor supply ISO 46 Premium hydraulic fluid IS NOT for use with...

Again..You, or someone taking to you , is confusing their Premium Tractor Fluid, which DOES meet the GL-4 gear spec, with their cheaper ISO-46 hydraulic fluid, which DOES NOT.

On sale this week for 39.99. Think I’ll pick up a pail of it, tomorrow. Maybe 2.

Regarding GL-4 rating.. I think you’re mistaking their “Premium Tractor Hydraulic fluid” rating with their ISO 46 hydraulic fluid.

The interesting counterintuitive part, is that for a given hp, a lower gpm pump actually requires more stages and weight and size, than a higher gpm pump of the same series , using the same motor

Maybe for people who like run lawn sprinklers everywhere. 7 gpm is more than enough for my house. Even if I somehow exceeded 7 gpm momentarily, which won’t happen, my pressure tank, that everyone has, would handle the brief excess demand . Here’s a 5 gpm 4” pump chart: 3/4 hp circled

That’s a 15gpm pump chart.

Heat, and harmonic distortion can mislead the power supply’s frequency timing. It doesn’t matter if the supply supply is a switcher, or linear..If the product requires frequency over watching, such as a good UPS system would have, or timing circuits based off of phase angles,.. those devices...

Nope. My well is even deeper, and I’m using a 3/4 hp pump. Static level, and gpm desired are big factors

My use is intermittent, non-commercial, so I’m not worried, but curious, where it says that?

Sure buddy… Cranks, pistons, rods, and every other component are made out of spec all the time, according to you, not the almighty dipstick system. If you believe there’s zero chance of that component being mis-manufactured/mislabeled, in a different engine block, then simply ignore everything...

?

Another vote for staying with bolts. Wrap some duct tape around the pto shaft - bolt/nut assembly so it doesn’t fall out when it breaks This should help with the big mystery of how it can break off only one side. With duct tape wrapped a few times around everything, you will need to end up...

Have some poison ivy between my fingers this week. I hate poison ivy. Used to get it really, really bad, when I was younger. Have to force myself to remember to not scratch/rip it open with my fingernails in the middle of the night, half asleep. So tempting for that 10 seconds of pleasant relief

Using a solid wire spec for 9 awg, and figuring simple dc resistance, both, close enough for this generalized calculation, that 1.3’ cord would need to dissipate 5 watts of heat at 50 amps on both legs. Imagine the heat of a 5 watt light bulb, dissipated on that cable…. Then, figure, is your...

I don’t see 10 awg anywhere. It states 9 awg in three different places https://www.amazon.com/Power-Meter-Digital-Display-Multimeter/dp/B0F8W96369/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?sr=8-8

They seem pretty proud of the 9AWG multi-strand cable, and claim pure copper. I don’t see any compelling reason to believe it’s not 9 AWG sized. 9 AWG is non existent in normal building wiring, but it certainly exists in multi-strand specialty cables, despite some saying to the contrary.

Buy high, sell low. That’s my motto 😁

Kinda, kinda not, since the stock price drops the amount of the dividend, so you really don’t gain, but it certainly looks good seeing it deposited in your account. I agree. Qualified, not ordinary dividends , can be nice for a taxable account, if you’re in a lower income bracket. If you...

The dot com bubble burst was 25 years ago. The 2021 market drop was the from the plandemic.

Seriously upgraded if it goes 3x further

How much oil discrepancy are you seeing from stated capacity to what actually shows on the top line of the dipstick? If you’re talking a lot, then, I wouldn’t just assume a dipstick that disagrees with the stated capacity is reading correct , until you’ve proven it’s accurate. Next time you...

Times are changing. Napa branded filters are owned by Mann&Hummel (as is Purolator now), and depending on which particular filter, and manufacturer date, it could be made made by Premium Guard, Wix, Baldwin…., and made in various countries including China, US, etc… Buyer beware

No. I’m not. I’ve actually delved into this subject more than most. Dementia sucks. I’ve dealt with it with loved ones. Let’s be clear on this. If you or anyone feels safer by injecting big-pharma chemicals, I say, have at it. Your body your choice. I certainly don’t agree with the logic of...

Wasn’t any complaining while “”anti-vaxers” were being denigrated with “unrelated” posts …🤔 🤔

Maybe the extremely toxic DDT pesticide made people more vulnerable to the virus? Interesting, how you state your pro-vaccine , opinion , based on biased big-pharma “expert “ articles. like it’s an absolute, unquestionable fact. 🤔 There’s always more than meets the eye….

You could also lean up against it something of known length, like an 8’ length of 2x4. Then snap another similar photo. You/we could then deduce the height by scaling it to the known length

Was it actually free? Normally when a meter fails, or hasn’t recorded properly, the utility company will make an adjustment on your bill, the following month or 2, based on their statistics of your normal usage, to “ fill in” the missing data.

When you shut off a small generator by killing the spark, you’re still drawing in air and fuel at 3,600 rpm’s. You’re loading your cylinder with unburnt fuel, which does no favors to your cylinder wall lubrication. Imagine revving your car or truck to 3,600 rpm’s, every time you shut it off, and...

Wrong. Even the OP’s second post already stated he’s in physical possession of 10w-30 T5. You can also get T6 as a 10w-30

Wrong. They’re both diesel rated oils, intended for diesel engines. You can run either in a gasoline engine, if that’s what you want

Yes. I disconnect power then shut off the fuel. As it surges lean, I partially engage the choke, till it’s run dry. I never use the kill switch. Starts first ir second pull every time. Sometimes not run for 6-12 months. Been doing it with this particular generator for about 20 years. Still runs...

My Massy 1540 owners manual includes electrical schematics. Is it not included in the 1739e manual?

Without seeing the schematic, I can only guess what’s going on , and that’s not really good troubleshooting. Why are you connecting those 2 wires together? I would get a wiring schematic before you go further. A lot of modern vehicle electronics use supplied +12v with switched negative for...

12v measured from one wire to the other, or each individually to ground? Makes a difference

To the OP’s initial title question…. It already is.

Pretty good. It’s not as dangerous or “crazy” as it looks. There’s a driver in the car steering and to hit the brakes. Not much more dangerous than driving the car up onto the trailer, other than he has to put more effort into steering and braking because he won’t have power assist. Got to hope...

One remote scenario ,I don’t think has been mentioned, but add it to all the others…during use, your nut is coming off, allowing the bolt to start backing out. It gets hung up with the threads catching on the bolt head side holes. At that moment you at the weakest point of the bolt, and the...

5w-30 in an engine where 10w-50 is specified..why? Why wouldn’t you at least run a common 10w-40? Mobile 1 full synthetic 10w-40, 5 quarts, $25 at Walmart. Even 15w-50 is $25 for 5 quarts

I have recently had a relative with skin cancer in a lower extremity, that was never exposed to sunshine. This person always avoided sunshine exposure on the skin in general.

To the title “Does flag pole = lightning rod “. If it’s tall and grounded.. yes. Remember though, lightning rods are installed to dissipate charges before a charge column develops, and reduce the chance of a full strike. They’re not to attract a strike, which is a common misconception

Valid point. It’s going to vary by location for sure. Unless your land slopes steep from the house foundation, you need to go deep enough for the proper drain pipe slope 1/4” per foot, unless you’re using a pump. Usually you want it hidden with grass growing so you need at least 3” for that. For...

I’m in the , wear clothing and a hat camp if I want to reduce sun exposure. Definitely not a fan of lathering my skin with nasty, sticky , oily chemicals. Yup… I’m old school.

I don’t think good 50 year old concrete “softens”. It always gets harder but at a minuscule pace after 50 years. I think what you are describing is the concrete getting brittle, and breaking apart.

I take it, you didn’t appreciate his opinion?

If your septic tank was at proper depth, if simply driving a car/tractor over it causes it to fail, then it is/was a weak, failing septic tank anyway. You’ll just bring it’s poor condition to your attention a bit sooner😁

Yeah right, maybe if you have a family of 12 spicy burrito lovers , on an old one bedroom spec’d septic system 😂

Sounds like your describing their hydraulic oil. You sure your tractor doesn’t specify universal transmission/hydraulic fluid? Better check a manual first to be safe

Septic tank shouldn’t be an issue if it’s at proper depth, and in good condition. I drive over mine pretty often. The leach field is a different story. I avoid compacting the soil and possibly cracking pvc pipes

Maybe have a dealer check it out. You most certainly shouldn’t be getting “fake” downshifts in Eco mode. Those simulated up/down shifts should only occur when you have the sport mode enabled. Im pretty familiar with that vehicle

Don’t keep it in the special sport mode, and you won’t have the wide spaced CVT shift points you described. That’s just for playing around. In normal drive mode, the CRV’s CVT is very smooth and constantly adjusts according to the throttle position and load., without any feeling of abrupt shifting

5030 hasn’t convinced you yet that 2 wheel drive is one wheel drive, and standard 4 wheel drive is 2 wheel drive? That’s why we have to rotate tires. Otherwise the one tire on the drive wheel would wear out before all the others. 😀

Sorry to say, but you don’t seem to understand how VFD’s work. Not trying to be sarcastic or criticizing, but…. 1) Using 240v as an input voltage won’t help motor frame voltage. The first stage of a VFD converts AC, to a DC bus voltage. 2) VFD’s don’t, and shouldn’t produce a clean sine wave...

Megger your motor windings If you don’t have a megger, do you have a known good Inverter duty motor you can temporarily swap in?

That’s an interesting view you have there. I don’t think “ethanol has been added to gasoline because, it burns cooler”. Pretty sure it’s mandated for other political reasons, Straight ethanol burns at a very slightly lower temperature than straight gasoline does. Like 3% lower temperature. At...

Really intelligent people writing for Iowa. E15 contains 50% more ethanol than E10. Not 5%. And after all this time, nobody noticed and corrected it? Done on purpose to fool the sheep?

From DOE themselves Fun, fun

Just reread your initial post. Assuming you’re going to run a ground wire from your meter to your “sub panel “ ,I know you won’t,because you just want to get it done, but I wish you would ask your county inspector, how “appropriately grounding” your “sub panel “ doesn’t create two bonding points...

Utility company’s pole meter loop requirements take priority over NEC code. If they require your neutral bonded to earth ground at the pole, in addition to simply earth grounding metal parts, then you have no choice. But, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s in direct opposition to NEC code...

Maybe the code has changed lately, or there’s some regional variations on the NEC standard being mentioned here. This installation sounds like a pole meter loop to me. That panel on the pole, probably feeds only the new house. It’s effectively acting as a disconnect with one downstream load. I...

No. It’s single phase. 54.8 amps is it. You don’t double the current number.

Sorry bout that

…or convert it to run on gasoline 😂

Why the big fat personal insult? Your ignorance, and endless arrogance is in display here. Ww “That 10K or less acan be over a couple days or even a day so long as each increment is via a different bank check or certified instrument, drawn on different accounts at dofferent institutions (I...

Looks like you do a bunch of nonsense for no benefit. The dealer still has to report form 8300, if the total of your payments meets or exceeds $10k. Doesn’t matter if you pay $32k in one cash payment, or over 4 days with $8k. Might as well simply give the dealer a bank check for the total...

I didn’t see a closeup picture of the alternator nameplate What makes you sure, it’s not an 1,800 rpm alternator? Just curious.

1800 rpm👍🏻 Looks like it has a recently replaced water pump

I think that’s one of three different tests used, depending on your serial number. Some others get a simple check for a code: I wouldn’t want to have mine judged by either method.

Since the scamdemic, I’d guess it’s more like 75%. That massive disruption to everything, really boosted used vehicle values

Try again

? Overhead camshafts are not a requirement for a gasoline engine. Early pre-1980 , that I was responding to…gasoline engines were predominantly push rod. There’s diesel engines with OHC Where’s the overhead cams and high parts count on a gasoline 1968 chevy 350? A 1985 Briggs and Stratton...

Poison ivy sucks Sorry, thats all I have to say

Was magneto ignition the point of the pre-1980’s comment? 😂 Does an early diesel injection pump have less parts than a simple carburetor? Look at reality for just a moment..…. How many average Joe’s can fix/modify/repair their diesel engines no problem, but struggle to, with their gasoline...

Upper cams? What unique “upper cams” are required for gasoline engines? I call BS An equivalent diesel is every bit as complicated and roughly equal parts count to a gasoline engine. Throttle body? Try counting parts in a diesel injection pump, and related repair costs compared to a throttle...

Sure, If one ignores the fact that the accepted measured value of the fuel used, is volume, and a gallon of diesel fuel has 14% more BTU’s and weighs 16% more. When one accounts for efficiency vs mass of fuel consumed, instead of volume, the efficiency line advantage of compression ignition...

What 200-300 extra engine parts are you talking about in early gasoline engines?

Ohh. Cirrhosis of the liver. We were off in the weeds on sun caused skin cancer 😂

Logically, the “discovery “ of what is believed to be proof of a bacteria from 5,000 years ago, certainly doesn’t disprove our military experiments with weaponizing and modifying it. Again, there’s documented statements of it happening.

Not saying it’s poor quality. Just saying, that a quality grease is still “new” condition after 8 hours use. Your Woods implement must not retain it within adequate sealing methods, if it either leaks out so fast, or requires you to push out 8 hour old grease, because it’s contaminated with...

Your’s is also a nice story. There’s plenty of evidence and testimony of military weaponizing Lyme and testing at the plum island animal disease laboratory during that period of time. Or do you just think it’s coincidence? Just like covid just coincidentally starting down the street from the...

You don’t think the technology of engines, fuel , and motor oils, have improved?

I’m not familiar with your machine. It must use somewhat crude bearing sealing methods. Why else would you need to push out fresh 8 hours old grease? Good U-joints employ roller bearings and cup seals, and are good for over 1,000 hours. How often do you change/add grease to your PTO shaft...

It’s true with ball and roller bearings. You can cause the rolling elements to slide between the races instead of rolling, and it can flat spot them and cause early failure. Grease is good for over a thousand hours of use. Unless your seals are bad, and you’re loosing the grease, and/or...

You haven’t experienced fun till you hit the perfect black fly trifecta.. one goes in your ear, another into the corner of your eye, and before you can deal with them, a third one gets inhaled and stuck in your throat and you bend over and start dry heaving. Good times. 😁 Usually is mercifully...

Once every blue moon should do. My last company did biannual greasing on very hot motors running 24/7, and assemblies, and had longevity in the tens of years. That’s a new greasing every 4,380 hours…

It doesn’t “roll less” or more. The rear axles are ridged to the entire tractor other than the front axle housing. If the tractor is rolling the slightest bit, you’ve already gone too far and have lifted the uphill rear tire off the ground. Making the front housing unable to freely pivot, which...

Someone mentioned a front anti-sway bar. That would make a tractor more likely to tip over , not less, on a typical bumpy side slope.

Every other oil change, filter change can make sense on some engines, where a single oil filter is specified across a wide range of a manufacturer’s engines, such as motorcycles, where a single oil filter model is used for a 150hp 1300cc, down to a 50hp 500cc. The later model spec’d at the same...

Good luck with that. They never made it with that engine.

That’s right. Oil to valve stems is not pressurized, and requires a minimum oil flow , and turbulence across the head, from the valve train

I didn’t know we were were talking about supercharged engines. Guess I missed that part. The forces on the components to spin an engine at a given rpm , are closely the same, be it the crank driving the rod, or the rod driving the crank. No free lunch here

Sure, but that same pressure is there if it fires up quickly, or you continue cranking it. That’s also only pressure in the bottom end. If you’re upper end..valve stems, overhead cams, etc, are “dry” , they’re dry either way. Then there’s wrist pins and such, that require minimum motion speed...

Yeah, turning just the oil pump is one thing . That’s totally different than cranking an entire engine assembly with compression strokes using a starter motor. I think people confuse the two.

That’s actually interesting. I’ve always viewed it totally opposite of this. I’ve always figured, the quicker and engine fires, and gets up to speed, the better. I’m pretty sure starter motor driven , crankshaft Rpm’s are slower than your minimum idle speed required for adequate oiling of the...

Well, I’m sure there’s a logical explanation, and it’s not because of tree branches hitting pole wires, in areas without above ground pole wires 😂

Hopefully you’re kidding, or at least hopefully nobody copies you. That’s unnecessary, wasteful, and not even good for your engine

Most legitimate 5.7l “tick” problems at idle are caused by broken exhaust manifold studs, allowing a tiny bit of exhaust sound to sneak past the head/manifold interface, but most folks blame the MDS system. MDS isn’t even active at idle. At idle, the MDS lifters are locked up, like a normal...

My experience is that just 100’ apart, a well can have totally different water qualities. Interesting, with your demonstrated expertise in water, that you not know that you can’t dismiss localized water quality issues over an assessment of a large area internet data map.

Gotta luv the way they reverse engineered their price using an exact 16,000.00 post 8.25% tax number 😂

Even if the EV wasn’t the cause of the fire? Welding, grinding, smoking, heaters, oily rags, gasoline containers,, etc.. and everything else is ok, but not an EV? You should post a copy of your notice, so we can publicly shame your insurance carrier

Engine factory debris? Baloney. Manufacturing debris is caught in the oil filter with the first few hundred oil passes, which happens before you even take possession from a dealer. I read there’s a manufacturing defect in the rods, and or crankshaft. Funny thing is, the engine code they will...

Car automatic transmissions are faster and better mpg because they are a computer automated gear transmission. A hydrostatic transmission is totally different, and has constant additional energy losses, to achieve speed variability, without shifting

I don’t know about that assertion. Hydro losses will most likely be the same % of power, irregardless of being over or under 100 hp

Yup. Talk is cheap

I used to run water wetter in my race cars because slippery antifreeze is prohibited. I wouldn’t put water wetter in a normal 50/50 antifreeze mixture. I don’t think even the water wetter sales team would recommend that. If you run zero, or small amounts of antifreeze, OK, but otherwise, no.

That’s a common dilemma. I think, all considered, the latter is the better decision.

That’s been happening forever. White colored, base models advertised, but only mid, to upper levels supplied. I noticed this one said only road camouflage gray available. Gray is cheap like white. I’ve seen reds, and blues adding $800 to the sticker.

Kohler engines are assembled from parts from China

I’ve purchased plenty of Dayton 3-phase motors. They’ve all said made, or assembled in Mexico.

Walmarts offer a lot more USA products than Target. Target is essentially a pretend upscale Walmart with less US products, replaced with more India products. China Freight is simply an unabashedly direct connection to Chinese tool importation. It’ll be interesting to see how China Freight...

I’d love to see electronics manufacturing return to the USA. Problem is , the current environmental regulations and public perception. Making electronics has some environmental drawbacks . NH, MA, used to have significant electronics manufacturing return, but cheaper labor and environmental...

You should look it up. Im curious.. In NH, a licensed journeyman makes a lot better wage than minimum wage.

Not trying to be a wise guy, but wood poles, actually are cheap. The absolute cheapest. Hence, we have so many disruptive outages, which wouldn’t have happened if more money was spent on buried lines

My guess is, it’s the people in your neighborhood Walmart that you are put-off by.

I read another related, recent “study”, claiming banknotes, aka, $ bills , are also dangerous for our health as they measured the same BPS, (and also cocaine) on almost all bills. The “study” hypothesis is that people put receipts in their wallets touching their money , and so it transfers to...

Could be..😁

It’s a “new” study of an existing known. BPA was called out in thermal paper 20 years ago replaced with similar BPS. Only thing “new” is that the California Sue & Settle ™ machine aka the proposition 65 legal industry, is threatening fines for companies using the paper and not having a warning...

At one time, I worked in the R&D department of a thermal printer manufacturer. We made both direct, and ribbon transfer types. I handled a lot of thermal paper for testing. I’m still here. A little trick to see if paper is thermal, is to quickly run the sharp edge of your finger nail over it...

Agree. PVC gets more and more brittle, especially with sunlight. A metal pipe will bend if you hit it by mistake. Old PVC will shatter. Unless you’re really cash strapped, go for the correct material

What was the price of your little turbo hot hatchback that you keep bragging and bringing up , and what would it be adjusted for today’s prices? How’s the rear seating room? What’s the storage capacity? Towing capacity?

Why do you limit yourself to China freight stores? You can get US made Eklind sets right off Amazon for like $20

Your drinking water is one of your more important health concerns. Don’t compromise by using pool water! Pay to find out what exactly is eroding your copper pipes. Pay to find out exactly what is causing your dark discharge stains. You can only make an intelligent decision on your lifespan...

Keep in mind , 1634 is your rating at the pivot point. Your actual load is forward of that so the actual capacity # will be reduced. If you get a larger bucket, you should go for wider only, not deeper, otherwise you’ll reduce your actual capacity even more, since you’re lifting heavy sand

Mainstream media and politicians have. I haven’t

Whoever posted the video didn’t want people to see what caused the tip over, and purposely cropped the video so you couldn’t see. It was obviously something physically moving lifting it upwards, then letting it back down. With the tractor stationary on its side, it wouldn’t then upright itself...

Not saying it’s not true, but with today’s replacement tree cost, I wouldn’t rely on that. I remember back when hanging scented soap bars was all the rage in certain circles. I used the smelliest Irish spring bars. Not only did I find some expensive young sweet cherry saplings with almost all...

I think some here are forgetting what’s being discussed is bumping up power of a large displacement, low performance 1.5 liter engine, rated at 37hp. It’s a 25hp/liter engine design…. Imagine buying a new 1.5 liter engine car with 37hp. All this talk of melted exhaust valves and such…😂

You’ve calculated taxes on a gasoline vehicle is less than $204 a year, or simply the total is less? It would be interesting if you would post your numbers and calculations

Like I said, just Space-X alone is over 6,000

His 10,000 number was an understatement. Multiple sources state global satellites at just under 12,000. Space-x alone, has over 6,000 overhead

I always look at the total resulting cost. In your case it looks like an average cost of 22.8 cents/kwh. About the same as here

I’ll plant standards with peaches, but not apples. Semi-dwarf is as large as I want to deal with, and I encourage low branches for ease of thinning, spraying, and picking, so even mature, an average size dear can munch the bottom third of the tree’s buds during the winter. Electric fence seems...

Supposedly that’ll work. I’ve never tried it. I’ve always put spiral wraps around trees small enough, and small culvert around larger trees, before the first snow. If your girdled trees are already of producing age, you don’t have to pull them that year. I had one girdled tree give its best...

They’ve successfully mastered rapid disassembly, for sure.

Speaking of Space-X, I saw the latest ballistic missile test over the Bahamas, was another success 😂

Yup. 1533

Offhand no. It should run through the third from top fuse, though. Have you checked for current and voltage on that wiring? It’s a 15A fuse. Maybe you can follow the wiring from the fuse block

They call it PTO protection

You’re missing your PTO shroud, and hydraulic fill plug, unless you just removed the plug temporarily, that could explain your milky oil. From the photos and your issues, it looks like it’s had a pretty hard life for only 599 hours.

Plus you need to replace that bent intake valve pushrod, and replace at least the missing exhaust valve seat, if not all valve seats, if you’re re-using that head

Welcome. One other tidbit of information, for you: With the power beyond kit Ive described to you, The pressure and return ports must always flow, with an attachment behind or not, otherwise the hydraulic system deadheads. You keep a short 1 foot long hose connected at the new back connectors...

As I previously mentioned, I don’t know how the machine would operate without it. I don’t recall its exact shape either, so I don’t know if it’s actually diverting return flow from passageways internally vertically or horizontally for some reason , or if it’s only for restricting flow. I doubt...

That looks like the one

1533 should have the same fluid capacity as my 1540, which is , if I recall correctly ( check my previous posts on it) is about 11 gallons with the loader attached. On your PTO .. you probably have an electric push button and maybe an additional rotary switch? Maybe do a quick check on your...

I’ve seen it on a bumper sticker

Another possibility:
