Doing a resistance test means nothing. If battery dropped to 6.7 volts while disconnected, you may want to consider a 24 hour trickle charge and retest disconnected battery for another 24 hours. amp draw will determine if there is a parasitic drain. typically i use a disconnect device, and...

One sure fire test, park car with battery disconnected. Say for 2 days. Reconnect battery, if it starts, its not the battery. it isnt easy to track down a parasitic drain, unless its constant. And a multimeter with amp capability is required. knowing the amount of draw is helpful too. glove...

Congratulations Daren! A wonderful gift for christmas! Im on site often, just dont say much. My little kubota is trouble free,and the handiest thing i have ever purchased. Put three point fittings on my shop crane and engine stands, makes moving engines so much easier. It rests in a heated...

My 76 dart was having a similar issue, weatherstrip on drivers door had bonded to body. A gentle pry with prybar got it open. passenger door latch was stuck, i soaked it with penetrating oil and was thinking i would have to cut door skin to get at latch. I wired interior door release, then...

We would like to wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year!

Just a little more input. I bought a 6hp walk behind trimmer, husqvarna with a briggs motor on it. I love it. No more carrying nothing. Big wheels and easy to start. 18” strings and simple to change. I wear a leatherman so having a knife and pliers makes the string change a breeze. I have...

its pretty wet around here. I have it pumped during the dry part of the summer. Truck can back around house to get to tank. Guy does house and small holding tank by my shop for $100

I have a dewalt 20v. it broke the gear on the motor on its 3rd tube of grease. Dewalt was great, instead of shipping it out for repair, they were kind enough to send a replacement motor and i fixed it myself in 20 minutes. like the grease gun, i prefer a heavier grease and a trigger is much...

I run a 12 volt demand pump to pressurize my water system in the small garage. 20 watt on a lawn tractor battery. Have no issue with that. 400 watts should be plenty,just dont go too big on battery bank. Led lights and an efficient invertor. 12 volt lighting, and 12 volt adapters for...

I could never be without my little L1501. With the 3 point hitch and trailer adapter and forks there isnt much i cant move here on my property. Made a 6 foot bar with a trailer coupler on each end, i can push-pull anything with a trailer ball on it. Just unloaded an old fargo off my trailer...

Three grasshoppers where i used to work. All diesel. The decks can be lifted 90 degrees to clean deck or replace blades. A very good feature. Bearing replacement in spindles was not difficult. The bades are decent,and the seats are very comfortable. Only major issue was one operator was...

If you were to check the framework on the ramp, wall thicknes and dimensions of the tubing you will find the gate is under-rated. The gate on my trailer is old and rough, and it has seen more weight than i would care to admit to. Hard to tell dimensions of your existing tubing, but adding a...

I feel for you. 55 and i feel like my legs are giving out. I was in vegas in november for sema, monday was rough, tuesday was worse. Wednesday i couldnt leave the hotel. Now in the last couple months i have a hip giving me a lot of grief. I cant lift a whole lot like i used to. Im on my feet...

I agree with wozza. Auto idle. Touch hydraulic controls and it throttles up. Relase control and it idles after a few seconds.

A couple high ratio gearboxes and a cordless drill. Couple minutes for each ramp. I landed some gearboxes that are at least 100:1. Used for cleaning barn troughs.

I get a variety of raptors here. A pair nested a couple years ago, they were steady fighting the crows to protect the nest. The racket was unbearable. So i grabbed the broom with the long black handle and walked the treeline. Crows disappeared. Thought i was carrying a rifle. The hawks will...

My plumber came in and we ripped out the shower and installed a new 3 piece. Connected pex to copper with sharkbite fittings those things are slick!

That is impressive. I know a few operators. By comparison, they ain’t. One exception, an early 20’s girl that works for the local Municipality, she’s a natural. Had it figured out in a week. My best friend, the foreman says he had never met any operator In the business that was so quick to...

Call it what you want, conspiracy theory or whatever. The smart tv’s have the potential to monitor your Viewing habits and share it with the manufacturers and service providers. I guess the satellite providers have access to that info already. Also some tvs now come equipped with webcams,i...

I pulled the intake on a 08 5.3. It took like 30 minutes. The valley cover was leaking.engine was rebuilt or replaced a few years prior. Every single bolt holding valley cover was loose. I mean finger tight loose. Was a cheap fix for customer. Back of engine on newer models with variable...
