    New Kioti Leaking Oil.

    New stuff usually needs shakedown and bug work. Very old and very new stuff is where the problems are. Use the problems to your advantage. Make friends with the guys who try to get it "right", do not start off on the wrong foot. This usually gets you a contact number for 24hr advice, free...

    Got a little welder

    An old Miller Deltaweld 450 with a dual head D-52A on Craig's list followed me home. Got the manuals of the Miller site but the hook up for low voltage is not in the book and THAT half of the decal is missing. Not going to take full advantage of capacity and use my existing 60amp outlets...
