    MOPAR guys

    Never had a 4 speed, but my Jeep had a 5 speed with reverse all the way right and back. I have gone from second to 5th before but it was very early on in owning the vehicle. Also I don't thing you can force it to go into reverse when the vehicle is moving forward anyway. You'll get a grinding...

    Buyer Beware - A rant

    Walmart was founded in 1962, macy's in 1858, sears in 1893, Home Depot in 1978, Lowe's in 1921, Menards in 1960. These companies are all at least 40 years old and are the Big Box Stores that you are describing I honestly can't think of any that are much newer. You don't go to a Walmart or...

    Best Hydraulic Quick Disconnects

    I'm basing it off of something I have experience with that works. You have not offered an alternative option only said that something that was designed 30 years ago is bad and the engineers the built it or keep using it are not doing their job to fix a problem that costs the average user a few...

    Best Hydraulic Quick Disconnects

    it isn't 100 USD for a pair. It is 100 USD for a single fitting. I said since they were buying thousands of them that they would probably get a 25% price cut $800 per tractor to $600 per tractor. Maybe they could get 5-15% more depending on quantity and what the profit margin is on the fittings...

    Best Hydraulic Quick Disconnects

    Exactly. Now multiply that by 8 for just attaching a loader, 10 if you want 3rd function valve (not counting any implements using the 3rd function) and 14 if you want a single rear remote (not counting the cost of any implements running on the rear remote). It adds up very quickly on a piece of...

    Best Hydraulic Quick Disconnects

    That is what I just sent you. The threads are large and meant to work even with dirt and debris in them. These fittings were put onto excavators being used in the rail industry in some of the most remote places so they have to just work, which they do. If the threads get a little too gummed up...

    Engineer here. The issue isn't that there is not a solution. The issue is cost. Here is what you are looking for, I have used the larger ones to hook up a grapple that had been sitting outside in the summer for a few days to a large excavator and threaded them completely together by hand...

    Sunfrost DC RF-16 Refrigerator

    If I recall a lot refrigerators/freezers use magnetic strips inside their door seals that will hold it closed with assistance of the low pressure area behind the door created by the cold air. So maybe replace the door seal with a door seal that has one of the magnetic strips in it. The magnets...

    Shortening a chain saw chain?

    This probably isn't the advise you are looking for so you can ignore it if you want. This is just my 2 cents. Just because you mistakenly grabbed the wrong chain doesn't mean you can't return it. It isn't like you used it and they will just put it back in the box and sell it as new anyway it...

    Parents ought to be ashamed of themselves

    Every generation sees the following generation as coddled and lazy. Think back to your childhood. Do you remember being told "back in my day," "you kids have it easy," "when I was growing up," etc. by a parent or grandparent? If anyone here says no I would call lies. They weren't wrong they did...

    Ammo

    Actually, you don't need any credentials to buy and sell ammo. You need them to "manufacture" ammo which basically means if you reload and sell the ammo then you need credentials. Probably because it would be expected that you have insurance for an accidental hot round or the like. However, if...

    another obsession

    First time hearing that since I got glasses years ago. Usually its the other way around lol. Also good plan I have heard good things about Thermal Grizzly. Make sure that you clean everything off with isopropyl alcohol and a cloth that will not leave scraps behind. If you are willing to put in...

    another obsession

    From your first set of pictures it appears there is already thermal paste on the CPU cooler. From my experience preapplied stuff is pretty good as long as you aren't looking to push the clock to the limit of the chip.

    Schools

    This is all I will say here. Teachers have very little say in the curriculum that they get to teach. That is pushed down from federal, state, and local people who often have 0 experience teaching. Also teachers are unwilling to just walk out and refuse to teach because they are dedicated to...

    Simple change helped making the measurements more accurate

    Columbus' landing has nothing to do with the fabric of any nation. The fabric of our nation is from the 13 colonies, revolution, constitution, and what happened afterwards. Columbus landing in the America's only started a race across the ocean for natural resources and territory. They have to be...

    Simple change helped making the measurements more accurate

    Well I mean her teacher isn't wrong the Columbus was not a good dude. Without him the US would not exist for sure but that doesn't make him a good person. There are objectively terrible things he purposefully did. If your daughter came back from school and said that they are learning about the...

    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    I 100% back the Isotunes suggestions. I have a set of the ISO Tunes Extra, my wife has a set of the pro 2.0s and another family member has a set of the isotunes free. If I had to get them again I would probably pony up the extra money for the free because it is rather annoying to compress the...

    Honda motors

    Before you pull the head see if you can rent a bore scope from a local auto parts store. Then you can inspect the piston and cylinder walls to see if they are in good condition before wasting time on a toast piston.

    MY lucky day

    As a quick note... NASA's budget for 2021 is 22.4 billion dollars. Which is less than one half of a percent of the total US Gov't 4.7 trillion dollar budget. This is like the equivalent of a Netflix and Amazon Prime Subscription to someone making 50k a year. Also unlike other departments of the...
