Thanks, I was wondering about that.
Anyone with experience in steaming and bending oak for bows know how much to overbend? Guessing I would say a couple of inches but that's just a guess.
I totally get that, and know and understand all of the reasons why this is a great idea.
I know you mean to be helpful, but this thread however is about the correct part numbers for the stock filters and is for people looking for that item. I will buy the adapters and filters from JaTonka when...
When searching for Napa oil filter part numbers it took me 45 minutes of careful search and LOTS of reading to find the part numbers. This thread had a great title and came up in my search first, so I am updating it with some part numbers. These are all reported to have the correct gaskets...
Good photo of the battery showing part number
I use De-Ox on all battery connections. It is made for electrical panels but I have been using it on batteries for 15 years with good results.
Edit: William mentioned that his local Batteries Plus store couldn't find the 4HN battery. Call the...
Nice find on the Napa batteries that fit. Thanks for posting the part numbers.
I just bought 4 Deka 4HN batteries from the Batteries Plus store in Tualatin, Oregon. They do have them available, all you have to do is tell them it is a Deka battery and they can have them within a week.
If you...
I'll try and answer a couple of your questions Matt.
If you have access to a pressure pot then that will be easier to use, just more expensive to buy and more work to clean up. The Harbor Freight guns shine for small jobs, occasional use, and paint that is hard on guns. Just like a throwaway...
William, the Deka 4HN is the correct battery.
It is available from any Batteries Plus store in the Portland area. They will have to order it and it takes several days. They list for around $150 and if you have an account the price will be $135.**
You will have no trouble selling your spare...
Since this is a Got Stuck Thread, this ^^^ is a really good idea. You can use wire, chain, or straps through the holes in the wheels to tie on blocks of wood. Go easy, and you can usually back right out. It is like a grouser on a cat track.
First time I saw that trick was the first time I ever...
It is manual steering. Steers somewhat easier than with the stock NDT tires, even with the reduced pressure.
Don't think about this like you would a thinner tire running 35 lbs pressure. Think tire that still does not have the full tread width in contact with the road surface even at a lowered...
Bouncing and Tire Pressure
I have been running the 46" radials for two years. Initially the tire guys inflated them to 90 lbs. Even with a two ton load in the back, the chicken bumps were still untouched on the outside of the tires, and the ride was terrible.
I incrementally dropped tire...
If anyone wants to try and buy new, the Eritech parts can be ordered by any electrical wholesale distributor who carries Erico, Caddy, etc. Pretty widely distributed, and most of them will sell retail/over the counter.
There are a couple of SS members in Tualatin with M35s. We would be up for a meetup during the week. Just send me a PM, it goes to my email.
We also have towbars and a mutual towing pact but haven't needed it.
Edit: This should probably be moved to conversations since that is what it is, a...
That is a great explanation of what makes it multifuel.
That all said, there are a lot of guys running WMO blends in Fords, Mercedes, Dodges, Kubotas, etc. I think Dieselstop.com is where I saw all that. 50-50 is the most common blend.
The newer automotive diesels with the pollution controls...
Thanks for bringing up the Operator's Manual issue. I have the TM and it doesn't explain what all those knobs on the front are for.
If you find the Operator's Manual, would you please link to it in this thread?
The correct battery for the 016b is a 4HN made by Deka in the USA. They run $130 to...
It is certainly not your intent to backfeed, that is clear enough, but as others have pointed out, it could happen. I like your setup with a sub panel, and it would be very easy and inexpensive to put in a manual transfer switch to isolate just your subpanel. Without it is illegal.
Under a...
Thanks for the SmokStak Link, I appreciate it.
So your idea of using a disconnect to keep the plug safe is good as far as it goes.
What it does not address is the fact that if you back feed your panel through a breaker you will be energizing the utility lines by back feeding into the grid. It...
Would you please link to what you found on Smokstak?
I need to pull out a neutral as well.
If you hook up to your house power you will need to put in a transfer switch as well. The manual switches are not expensive.
Thanks!
Have you ever pumped diesel fuel with a hand rotary pump? It's a lot of work. Factor in the much higher viscosity of the WMO and trying to push that through a filter?
Harbor freight sells what they call their 1" Clear Water Pump a lot of the biodiesel guys use them and claim the work good...
