I hope you will be back to normal ASAP.(y)

It is not that bad of a job on the 80 series since there is a removable spacer between the pulley and the shaft. So, no engine shifting required, see entry #8. Besides the same spacer needs to come off in order to replace the alternator belt. As far as the insurance goes, I do have it since I...

Well, my new compressor arrived on January the 6th. It came totally assembled except for two thumbscrews to locate the height of the handle. One of the thumbscrew's plastic ears were broken so it went in with a vise grip. Today, I got hold of the company and some nice lady took my information...

Here is one more thing to check on your tractor before making any big plans: Propeller Shaft Boot

Just to keep it clear in my head, would aeration be when air gets sucked in and mixed with the fluid? In this case it seems that the fluid pressure got so low, due to the suction, that it boiled and formed the bubbles (creamy) and when the fluid returns to ambient pressure, it becomes clear...

Here is an interesting video on how to test a compressor tank and prevent an explosion.

Well, the price got jacked up with the new year. So, I decided to go with this instead, that is supposed to be quieter and lighter: Stealth Compressor. My issue with the old compressor was the tank. I have gotten paranoid in the last year or so with the tank being so old and exploding. The...

Well, two days ago decided to finally remove a fallen tree from the last hurricane since the area was finally dry enough to use the tractor. The first issue was, when trying to pump the tractor tires, my compressor refused to start after several attempts. Since by chance I had watched a video...

Well, it is being weird enough. We had the second freeze in a row and this mid morning, my wife had gone a couple a miles away and called back that there was small hail hitting the car and she was coming back. Sure enough, I looked at the local weather radar and it was blue unlike green with...

Merry Christmas everyone!

One of my former coworkers at the rocket ranch used to work for a while with the Orbiter Recovery Team that manned the different contingency landing sites in the US and around the world during Space Shuttle flights. As the result of his travels (or a mail bride), he ended up marrying a Russian...

That is a fact. No fake news either.

The same guys that did not understand it the first time, will not understand this time either. Because they will not remember either ..... :ROFLMAO:

I had one of those "interviews" at the doctor's office years ago. The nurse was rifling through all these generic questions that had the expected "yes or no" answers and my mind was not into it. She finally get to one that somehow got lost in the translation from English to Spanish plus it must...

Well, I don't remember if I posted this before but before this story fades again into the depths of memory, here it is. In the very early days (1977) of the Space Shuttle program we had a lot construction and planning going on around the Kennedy Space Center but no actual flight hardware yet...

Is that a thumbs up or a thumbs down since he is upside down? Inquiring minds would like to know.....

Its a Paumco Quick Spade. Its intended for a skid loader but it worked great for me with my 36 in, forks and my tiny BX1880.

I got these forks in pin on configuration and 36 inches for my BX1880 being the most affordable at the time and appear to be well built. I have used them for several things, including digging and they have worked very well.

If you can not find anything suitable and at a reasonable price, you could make one yourself. My suggestion would be to explore the idea of getting two universal exhaust pipe rubber hangers, two matching clamps, a suitable length of exhaust pipe and two pieces of slotted angle to be attached to...
