Is this a 50/50 mix of hydraulic fluid and water, or has Joe found a way to substitute almond milk for hydraulic fluid?

I have to admit that following this thread is a lot like standing at a safe distance and watching a long, slow train derailment. You just can't look away while it is happening, no matter how horrible it gets.:eek:

Annul Intelligence?

Looks like Curtis hasn't changed the basic design of that blade in decades. I have seen at least 4 or 5 that are nearly identical, including mine:

One of my tasks when I was working was to set, align, level, and grout (with epoxy) granite blocks in the 4000-6000 lb range. I had a couple of no name 3ft pry bars that I would use to "walk" the blocks into position. After doing several, I broke the tip off one of them, so I reground it, but...

You know, maybe it's the holiday season, but whenever I visit this thread, I get a hankerin' for some cookies some relative of mine used to bake:

So, disassemble & clean all parts, check bore for size & pitting, (and if within tolerance) hone bore, polish ram, replace wear ring, replace all seals & o-rings, replace spring key, lube all parts with clean hydraulic fluid, and reassemble, and pressure test. Right?

I've always wondered, what most folks do with the mice they catch in a bucket trap like the one above? Just leave'em in the till they croak? Fill partway with water & let 'em drown? Take the lid off & sling 'em into the brush chipper? Inquiring minds want to know.

They all look great, but what is the uppermost one? I'm drooling into my keyboard!

Yup, been up twice since I last saw you, the last time was last Sunday, just stopped by to drop off some stuff, then went on to La Posada for a short stay. And we were up a week before that, and stayed 3-4 days. No snow either trip, but cold & windy. Lots of critters- deer, foxes, skunk, feral...

No need. Soil will consist of diesel, solvent, paint residue, grease, hydraulic oil, motor oil, grinding dust, bronze brazing blobs, sweat, lost parts, and sand. (proportions may vary) :);):LOL:

Well done! Moving my (nearly identical) Birmingham was almost that much fun, but at least I didn't have to go down a flight of stairs: (from a previous post) Moving the lathe was a cast iron bitch. The basic machine (no chucks, tool post, etc) weighs 1250lbs, plus the pan & pedestal (about...

Is that copper tube? :eek:o_O The maximum working pressure for a 1/2 in copper tube is 769 psi at 100°F,

Joe, google Swagelok fittings.

Replacement rear wheels are all over eboy, but I was never able to locate a source for the front ones.

Wolfman beat me to it. :)

Tire sizes in your first post are correct. This is cut from the B7100D manual. When I bought new tires for my B7100D from eboy, (Carlisle Farm Specialist) I went to a local tire shop. They mounted the fronts with no problem, but they & the next five shops could not seat the rears at all...
