    Pressure on Hydraulic lines

    If you do that, leave the grapple in a middle position, if it is at the end of travel pressure can still build as it tries to force the immovable cylinder.

    50 Hour service

    I have learned to never allow a dealer do anything if at all possible. You have good reason to allow others to help you, but don't expect anything extra to be done unless you have it in writing. Check absolutely everything that they touch. I have used a major dealer, that is often mentioned...

    B2710 4wd has become 3wd

    Now that you know it still works, I would drain and refill the front axle since it was running dry and may have some metal in the oil.

    FordPass App

    Get another email address from Gmail, Yahoo or other, then use it only for your Ford. I use these throw-away email addresses for all kinds of things, for example store cards. When the spam gets out of control, throw it way and get another.

    Daily Chuckle

    I am not opposed to businesses making a profit, I am opposed to folks taking private property to be used to enrich themselves at the expense of the public. Yes, pump storage can be a good idea so you and I should find some pristine property and grab it using whatever BS that might get it for...

    Firewood Lifting Capacity on BX

    If you can get the totes at a low price, maybe it would make sense to cut them down to the next bar. If you could then lift and stack it might be a good option.

    Daily Chuckle

    It is on par with the nonsense forced on the uninformed public, for example the local news is reporting that the pump storage facility will generate as much power as a nuclear power plant. What it will actually do is take a considerable amount of land and then the power will be bought whenever...

    Gas cans now shower valves

    I built my own home 48 years ago and used all American Standard fixtures. Now the shower valves finally were eaten thru by my acidic water and there is no repairing them. All I want and need is something like I have so I did some searching and ordered one. These control freaks need to leave...

    Multi-Metal Rust Risk? Should I just weld this sucker?

    Your metals are similar, I wouldn't worry about rust after a good paint job. Plated hardware has been used for a century on steel with no real issue. Dis-similar metals would be aluminum, copper, brass and some more.

    Gas cans now shower valves

    You might have one made before the code nonsense. The temperature controlled ones have a type of thermostat that limits the flow of hot water as needed. It is “legal” to replace or repair those that are grandfathered in, but suppliers have stopped producing the parts that don’t meet the...

    Gas cans now shower valves

    If you think the powers that be can't stay out of your fuel containers, wait till you need to replace a common two valve shower set. I wasted an hour Friday and much of the day today trying to find a quality replacement for a failed set. Yes, I can find some junk at the big box stores but...

    This video will give you an idea how things are to be attached. Google "Brinley hitch" for more videos and information. What you have may not be original but you can find a way to use it.

    Napa(don't) know how.....

    I too never let anyone install batteries. These were Chevrolets with the mounting clamp at the bottom which causes no problem with over tightening. The batteries had internal problems that caused them to cook out electrolyte.

    We all have different experiences and different "luck." I spared you the entire horror story and don't intend to repeat it.
