Or maybe this:

My fuel setup is three 55 gallon drums. That lasts (sits) for a year or so. There's a Goldenrod water block filter that also filters out any teensy bits that don't belong there. It may be a remote possibility that contamination can be a problem, but not an impossibility. I helped #2 Son drain...

The only experience I have with Vevor is my mag drill. I've used it several times with both annular cutters and the 3-jaw chuck. It works fine for me. If it was something that got used every week I'd get a real Hougen.

Paul, I wouldn't be in a rush to shorten the depth of the hook. It may work out that you won't need to adjust the position to accommodate slight differences between implements. It looks sufficiently robust to handle loads with the top pin not bottomed out.

Never had one, but as MLF said, it would be another fuse to blow ahead of damaging other parts. From what I've read, those clutches need at least some maintenance or they just become added weight to the driveline.

When I cleaned the tank on my generator, it was almost certainly the first time in its life. It is a portable lighting unit with the lights and boom removed. For the 20-ish years before it became mine it sat beside another unit in the back lot at work. They were almost never used. I'd bet it...

Same here. Maybe after we ruin the country by building umpteem new power plants to satisfy the electrical appetite of the data centers the AI will get more "I". Just went through a very painful experience with Brightspeed last week.

My generator underwent a similar operation last Fall - Post 23,313. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/what-did-you-do-to-or-on-your-kubota-today.6326/page-1166

I've seen them used to start or stop equipment or as part of a control scheme like not allowing an air handler's fan to run without hot water going through the coils. Usually there's a cap tube that runs to a bulb under the pipe insulation.

An aquastat for anywhere between $50 and $200 depending upon wants and needs.

The only tint ive done was a Chevy K Blazer long ago. Although it came out perfectly, the film was easy to scratch. Never tried it again and actually removed a band of tint from my L4250 right after I got it. Ive seen a lot of hideous jobs with little air blisters all over.

That is impressive!

Not the hussy, the mag drill. A while back I mentioned that my Wilton bullet vise mounted to the welding table "failed". In truth, it was the result my attempt to beat a piece of steel into submission. I was a bit energetic when I whacked it. If you ever wondered what material the base is...

Our driveway wasn't paved for the first several years we lived here. It was maintained with a DIY drag made from a pair of I beams bolted together like two capital "H's" so the four flanges were dragged over the surface. It could be adjusted to cast some material left or right. It did...

I have just enough tinnitus so it's never totally quiet 🥴
