    NOS parts question. Balanced flow water pump from Peninsular

    Depends on pkg wrapping. I’ll venture if in corrosion inhibiting type paper. Lube up the seal with silicone? and spin slowly then something negligible every month in box takes off a day or 10 miles of life span.

    Pulling up trees with a chain

    Just other variations of that. They make little ditty bags with draw string closure. Put a rock in bag tie on string / light paracord to draw string then throw rock over limb. Or tie paracord around rock duct tape to secure slippage sometimes rocks have enough shape you can just package tie...

    Pulling up trees with a chain

    Pulling trees up. I have pulled many small trees up with my tractors too many to count easy peasy. I have no problem with most trees. Smaller ones are worse than the bigger ones as sometimes the small ones deglove or skin all the bark and limbs off and not pull out. Brushy type bushes tend to...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    I wouldn't expect you to fall for most things like this. Just giving my 2 cents. Email is slick Con words to get hook set. If true it would be advertised on probably on a few auction sites and sold online through a reputable auction yard. If it was a repossessed it would have been picked...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Trying to find them on Facebook searching not following link brings back a site created March 1 ??? With the 1 kubota pic and not much else. Zillow says their address sold back in 2019. Looks like a scam.

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    The website is only 2024. Address is a house? Website looks awful wordy with no substance ie names or pics of the people or documented history. Can you find them on social media with a decent history? Multiple would be better but all can be faked. Ask for something personal or semi...

    Tractor/equipment for up to 5 acres

    Google map their address. I didn’t see any equipment on satellite view. That’s the first thing I do look to see how I’m going to find them to get my money back. If it looks made up or faked easily moved PO Box etc I don’t gamble.

    Fuel pressure gauge

    I would use snubbers on the meter sensor(s) ( each if you use (2) 1. pre filter 2. post filter I am assuming). That should help meters not bounce a lot. I would get 2 meters similar as you can ( the exact same better) That way the comparison would be more accurate. But I would think as long...

    Fuel pressure gauge

    I plumbed my electric auto meter sender at a Tee and my needle bounced a lot that I believe shortened the life of the gauge. Are you going to put a length of hose so you get a decent sized air air pocket to dampen the pulsing pressure or use a Snubber adapter of some sort?

    Pro's and Con's

    Spitballing as always. Chris, are you going to run any bumper chin dam? I think they were to try to push air down and clean airflow around the front diff and A-arms etc (to create neg pressure behind stack). Same with the plastic skid plate? Nate did something once..... back in this...

    Diesel fires?

    My son said his tiktok feed has shown a lot of fires and he asked me about it. But I haven’t seen anything personally. Saw 2-3 Videos he tried to show me looked like slant headlight gm’s the chevron light years trucks. Can’t say much only seeing a few videos of any trends.

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    On testing mpg nope at least not yet. The tonneau was for the wife so I could cover all her luggage ( she packs like a Victorian princess). Comes in handy to cover beach & tailgating gear, keeps eyes outa my bed. I know it won’t stop a thief but it makes them work for it. I got this...

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    Thanks, Good stuff to try. I like the bed sheet idea. I saw some pintrest or youtube people tarp below and then lay some tarp up over bed rails that is an idea too might be getting down to the last inch or so it might snag on the pitchfork. That could be a pick your poison. I have seen...

    Rock block. Tailgate gap seal and tonneaus etc tape track?

    I have a back revolver roll up tonneau. Works pretty good. But when I haul mulch it’s a pain to clean out the track. Also, my 2020 is harder to clean out the gap at tailgate. I tried blue painters tape and it kept track clean. The tape came off ok but tears easy. Anyone tried similar...

    Any suggestions for cleaing greasey engines without a pressure washer?

    Pump-up garden sprayers are pretty helpful if you find something you like you can spray or jet the stream. I like Charlie's soap and Dawn Ultra. A leaf blower blow-off can help speed drying. Might try some marine bilge cleaner in a garden sprayer it is supposed to mix with water. I use...

    High speed video of injector spray and combustion smarter every day

    I enjoyed this. I did find it interesting how he says the stoichiometry has some effect with burn back to the tip of the injector. Around 11:55 into the video. There are even more variables pressure in the cylinder, the temperature of the fuel, the temperature of compression and more. I have...

    My Shop

    It is designed for it. They are mfg’ed pieces made to be mated to the tongue. The bracing looks good. Very similar design just an inverse of putting it on the receiver side. We might could argue an inch or so difference in a couple of designs but then argue how much bracing and difference...

    Gooseneck hitch disconnect while heavy loading?

    Looks like your ramps are triangles big feet. But something on the loading was a tad off. Maybe a little nose down a little uneven ground etc. Did the ramps try to fold back up? Were the ramp pads or feet too far off ground or the angle of feet didn’t “ bite” . Mine when level are...

    Gooseneck hitch disconnect while heavy loading?

    Hook it up and use the landing gear to lift up and see what happens. Mine can lift my ‘97 2500 rear off the ground. I have heard and seen you tube videos of loading equipment where the trailer lifts rear truck wheels off the ground and truck and trailer roll. Yes, if your ramps don’t have...
