I saw it the same way. I'm hoping @fc1 will post a picture after he removes the housing.

Looking at this drawing, it looks like the bearing may be able to pass over the slip rings. You should be able to tell once you remove the rear cover.

I downloaded that WSM out of curiosity. It still wasn't clear to me how to disassemble that bearing. It doesn't appear the bearing id can slip over the slip rings. Is the shaft hollow or slotted to get the leads past the bearing?

BIL is out with Katy picking up debris. It was forecast to rain all day, but now it looks like it'll hold off 'til dark.

Yours truly. I qualify for discount hair cuts. 👴

One thing that I wasn't prepared for was the need for good light. I figured once you struck an arc you'd have plenty of light. But I guess the arc light is predominantly uv and is filtered out.

And you had a soldering gun on a camping trip why? Good grief man, what other useless junk did you take along? My 12v tire inflator opinion is much like yours. The early ones were junk and I don't see much to recommend the new ones. For my travels, if it's a small leak I can limp to an air...

Not shopping, it's for re-affirmation that I own a superior machine 😎. If Kioti would develop a support network, they could make a move. But that would increase costs and be reflected in their price. There are things about my neighbor's JD utility tractor I like too, but it ain't Katy.

Me three. I rebuilt the first couple, no big deal, using Kubota kits. But the kits got so high it was better to take them to a shop 20 miles away. So far, he's had the parts in stock and charges $100 per cylinder for parts and labor. I usually loosen the head before I take them off. If I call...

The title says turbines, but Wartsila and Volvo Penta make recips AFAIK. At one time, Cat made some large (relative) peaking/backup generators. To me, this doesn't seem to be a long-term solution. I'm guessing this data center thing is a fad, or they're temporary fixes until the utility...

Interesting, I wonder what engines they use. The church we attended, built in the 50's, was cooled with a 75t R22 system, radial compressor driven by a Diamond Reo? 6 cylinder running on natural gas. As a teenager, my contribution was to fire up the AC on Wednesday morning and Saturday night...

If your wheels are in good shape, you'll save by ordering from a tire shop. If you need wheels, better sit down. There are 2 R1 choices and one is discontinued. No tire/wheel assemblies. Make sure front and rear are coordinated in case you have to change rear size, they may need different size...

I fear B&D is taking Dewalt where they took Porter Cable, and it's not upward. Quincy makes good commercial compressors, but I can't vouch for their smaller units. Northern Tool has a belt drive 30 gal unit for ~$1000. I don't know where or how the pump is made. We need a modern Speedaire.

So that's where those plastic Easter eggs with the treats inside come from!

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the Chinese machines use components from the same factory. They seem to have the same features. Just a new brand every few years. I haven't used my yeswelder a bunch, but it still works. I'm not enough of a welder to know, but it seems adequate. One place...

I just replaced the Deestone 27x8.5-15 R4's on my L35 with Deestone 27x10.5-15 R4's. I don't know the history of these tires, they were on the tractor when I got it 5 years ago or so. They both had tubes, the bead area was damaged on at least one, that may have been the reason for the tube. The...

I've read one or two reports on here about folks having the TSB done. I think it involves pump shims, but I wouldn't expect to start tractor pulling. For that you need the turbo kit.

Here's two mail-order possibilities, they both have everything for stick, MIG and flux, except gas regulator. Harbor Freight

1. Get hands-on instruction. I've taught myself lots of things reading books, web surfing and trial and error. I currently have 3 welders and had a fourth. Many local trade school programs have a course for farmers, hobbyists, etc but I haven't connected yet. So I'm a hacker, barely getting by...

My grammar school lower playground had a mile-high slide, a sissy slide for the first graders, one of those 12-kid merry-go-rounds, and 15' swings. Our swings had links about a foot long connected together with eyes on each end instead of log chain. You learned pretty quick to hold onto the...
