    M62 LCD instrument panel readable only at angle, or at night

    The LCDs I've used for 4+ years all require power to the 'backplane'. it's a square wave not solid ,steady DC.. When that fails, you can't read the display properly. Any tech that works on them knows what pins to check with a scope, then replace whatever transistor has failed. Without proper...

    Septic drain field repair and install

    37 years ago , 'me,myself and I' DID do the ACTUAL work. Borrowed a farm tractor with 3PH backhoe and no 15 year old to help. If you don't know where the lines are you just start at the tank exit and dig. Every new install or replacement is done the same way... dig up the old bed ( or virgin...

    Septic drain field repair and install

    It'll be MORE work to 'cut and splice' the current field, just dig it all up ,remove and replace. With a mid sized excavator it's 4-5 hours to remove, 1 hour to gravel and grade, 2 hours to repipe, 1 to cover over. So done in one day. It's simpler, easier, quicker. Neighbour's doing that this...

    Drainage question

    I'd be real quick to find out HOW the city allowed a subdivision's water to be dumped onto your property !!! That should not have been allowed. Since the swamp land isn't yours, you normally would not be allowed to dump your water, which used to be the division's water into it... That being...

    Weight question

    garage 'truss' will not support the weight !!! They're designed for ROOF load, not weight under them. uses 6by6 posts with 3-2x6 as a 'beam'. You can use 2x4 to secure to the trusses. FEL weight will be in the owner's manual 'somewhere'.... Would need to see a picture of the 'project' but...

    Drainage question

    Agree with NIW, IF you can and WILL mow the swale. Best would be pipe though, as swale will fill in. Curious WHOSE water comes out that pipe ? Is it a LOT or a little ?? Around here it's agin the law to dump YOUR water onto a neighbour's property.

    Pin geometry for BH70 bucket? Looking at Titan 8 inch wide

    well, you've got the required 'dimensions' so draw it out on paper or better 1/4" plywood and make a 'pretend' bucket. BTDt several times. Crazy pinhole size 1.397" aka 3.55sillymeters.

    Diesel Prices

    just checked... 'cheap' gas is $1.84 per litre, diesel is $2.50 a litre !!!! so diesel is 66 cents more...or 150% the cost of gas... WHY ? Aside from robbing us, it also costs farmers more to make food, shipper to drive their trucks, etc.
