    Bummer - I think my AC Compressor is Failing!? (M7060)

    It's important to know why something is being done. Aside to possibly weighing charge,why should system in this case be evacuated?

    Safety Switch failure determination

    And since you had to ask how to do it, DPDT on diagram means double pole-double throw , SPDT single pole-double throw and right on down the line. Study how these switches work because it can be confusing if switches are thought of as simply on and off. I may be sued if someone steals my...

    A HST oil change gone wrong, what would you do?

    What would I do and what I would recommend are entirely different things, depending on the situation. Were it RWS asking I would say #3 and it can't wait until morning, must be done asap tonight. In this case I vote #1.

    B7800 heating issues

    What Hokie said (y) and I might add. If you are unable to pull out and hold up to light,do it at night or in dark shop using flashlight and mirror to check BETWEEN fins. Adding laundry or dishwashing soap can't hurt and often cuts stubborn oil or grease holding dust in fins.

    You are on the cusp so waiting until it's warmer sounds like a good idea. If the short cycling continues simply disconnect and jumper low pressure switch and/or clutch control wire to see if cycling is caused by clutch or controls. Odds are on the control circuit-stat or bulb mounting.

    I agree, should he/we also ignore for the moment he said engine is overheating as a result? :unsure:

    I mowed today and felt kinda bad about it

    Bees could be working another plant right now. Leave a strip or two and see if bees show up later. I do agree that insecticides are overused and indiscriminately used.

    It's hard to say whether clutch is slipping from watching video. Try sticking masking tape at 12-3-6 ad 9 o'clock on both outer and inner clutch hubs (precision not required). Use crayons,markers or such to color tape on inside hub 4 different colors and outside hub 4 other colors. That...

    Pesticides

    I'm not a fan of government intervention where common sense is all that's required. But,,,,,,,,,,,,common sense is so uncommon, governmental ban is the only way to prevent disaster when highly effective pesticides are discovered. These conversations applaud products that wipe-out everything...

    Bagging lawn clippings

    Since bag was in box with new mower I never gave thought to blades being less than ideal. I went through owners manual and couldn't find mention of different blades for mulch and bag. Different blades sound plausible so I will contact TB to see what they say. Thanks for the suggestion.

    120vac to 24vdc

    Ok that puts it in perspective. This fridge is more sophisticated than your situation requires. Majority of off grid uses propane appliances which cost much less. Since you are not relying on the appliance for everyday off grid use, get rid of it. If battery pack is worth $4k I shudder to...

    Bagging lawn clippings

    I leave lawn clippings where they land except for 30' radius from hvac condensers. With this light use, a Craftsman push mower lasted me over 20 years and wore out ( more like deteriorated with age) a couple of bags/catchers. I could mow the entire area around condensers and have +- half a...
