I wonder if Hertz got the $7500 gift from the taxpayers for each car, like everyone else.

Since the tubing is rather thin the threads for a grease zerk would be few, that is why I didn't go that route. If you countersink the hole just a bit the needle will seal better since the curve of the pipe won't allow a perfect fit, alternatively you could just use a center punch to form the...

Yes, I have grease coming out both ends. The first time you use it move things a bit to help with the flow.

I drilled a very small hole in the tube approximately in the center so that a needle point on a grease gun will grease the shaft. To keep debris out I covered that hole with a hose clamp that is moved aside when greasing.

Correction, you don't own it, the rent is $1600. If you fail to pay the rent the landlord will rent it to someone else. At some point the rate of tax becomes too high and the property is governed by others.

My rose colored glasses fogged up years ago, it will take a lot of time but yours will as well.

Funny story; when my wife was in the hospital getting a new knee, I went to the cafeteria during off hours to get something to eat. The kitchen help was great and offered to make me anything that I want, spotting the soup kettle I asked what kind of soup since it was already made. The reply...

A hundred years ago we had electric trolleys, I guess we are in a time warp.

Looks like your boring tool is made for cutting an internal groove. Grind it so that just a single point contacts the bore.

Sounds like you have trust issues, to add to your problem just know that IS NOT a real Native American.

I just looked at their website, the description for Kubota coolant says 100%. Personally I never buy the premix since it costs nearly as much per gallon as the real stuff. It is amazing that folks can't just save the old container and mix their own with distilled water. While at Walmart, you...

I use this guy for ice makers if I need some help.

I noticed that, they are so much like us bipeds.

I had a microwave with a failed transformer. After de-winding it I found a fuse deep inside that failed. There was no saving it and no parts were available so another appliance bites the dust because of a dirty trick. Had I known what the problem was I could have installed a fuse externally...

I currently only have 5 Dexter axles, but I have had many more. I pulled trailers thru 48 states and a number of provinces. The picture is the one posted above and is reasonably accurate. I layed out the hubs in AutoCAD using actual measurements and engineering drawings, so that I could...

That is the only way to service the trailer bearings and inspect the brakes, this EZ-Lube nonsense is just a sales gimmick for those that like to ignore proper maintenance. In PA, and I suppose some other states. the brakes need to be inspected every year. How would you like to pull the hub...

There are two different types of the greasing systems, the Bearing Buddy type that feeds grease in with spring pressure that is often used on boat trailers to help eliminate water, and the other type that is simply a hole in the spindle to direct grease between the rear bearing and the seal...

Maybe they use a pipe laying trencher so no need to go down in?

Love ya man, but you need to stop obsessing on your age. I am only a few years behind you and I choose to ignore my age. :)

Yes indeed there will be storage. Within my 20 mile radius there are nuclear, wind, solar, trash burners, oil fired turbine, natural gas and hydro generation. There is one large pump storage facility and a private group wants to build another to enrich themselves. My township has given up...
