    Daily Chuckle

    While side vision isn't too good it's far better than freezing your butt off while freezing rain pelts you in the face ! I added a 'winter windshield' to my BX23S and it's GREAT ! If I ever decide to put the free rear blade on ,a rear winter shield WILL go on as well . 1st I 'd have to get the...

    12 V 30 amp supply from L6060 to sander?

    should work fine, a 'yellow' spade lug will be needed. yellow denote 10ga wire. Blue is 12-14, Red is 16-18. Just be sure to properly crimp them and tape ! tape to keep from 'zaps' AND secure them so they don't fall out and ZZZZZAP !!

    Flakey third function solenoid

    option 'J'... disconnect battery !, remove the 'scotch' connector, clean the wires really,really good, tin them, then wrap 'feed wire to 3rdfnx' around 'power' wire, solder very well, wrap with electrical tape. Now you have a solid connection ! Using taps or bullet adapters isn't the best...

    BX transmission cooling fan

    I said 7.5 years ago, someone should make the 2 piece fan. So far 1600hrs , 80% in heavy offroad use, and the original fan is still A-OK, though my BX23s does have the factory guard.

    RIP Ford F150e (long live the F150)

    BUT... does your BEV do the SAME actual WORK as your ICE ? I know several 'have both', use the BEV for short,one person hauls. need the ICE to haul a trailer or 4 kids and hockey equipment.

    Rental 3 pt. Auger Question

    option 'B'. neighbour uses miniex to dig the holes, then drops in length of 6x6 1/4" wall steel tubing, slides 6x6 post into it, then backfills. doesn't have any issues. the 6x6 steel are cutoff/scraps. we weld into 3-5' lengths as he requires.

    Your Battery Maintainer/Charger choice?

    Replace the wires with 'lamp cord' or 'test lead' wire ! I used to make 100s of test leads and yes Virginia, there IS a special wire for them. Very flexible and nice 'rubber' insulation. I finally used up the 2 500' spools a few months ago ( Belden mfr )

    RIP Ford F150e (long live the F150)

    For giggles, I went to Ford Canada's website and got the cost for the SMALL battery, $43.885.05 + dealer install + disposal fee + 13% taxes. Now I'm sure they'll say it needs a new top cover ( +-,$1800) + 'shop supplies'. When 'out the door, you'll be over $50,000 Canucks, so 1/2 price of the...

    Building My Own Replacement Instrument Cluster for the BX Series

    NICE...love to see real hackers making things !! I settled on PICs 25 years ago,and well, too old to 'upgrade'. FWIW ..the water 'problem'. drill 5 or so SMALL holes ( #63 , IC pin size) both top and bottom of the cluster to allow air IN and OUT. it should help !

    What is the proper loading sequence for the “Parts Cannon” ?

    You may find that on the original PCB, one of those 1/4" tab is not properly soldered onto the PCB. It's a bit of 'magic' to get BIG tabs and itty bitty SMT devices to be properly soldered by machines.If you wait too long, to properly solder the big tabs, some small parts can fall off. If you...
