No tax if they're being purchased for resale, if you do it properly, but I still have a hard time with the numbers. I don't have a hard time with the idea behind it though... helping others get a good product that's hard to find.

Thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to the results.

Are you sure we should hope that? :grin: I can't say I'm unhappy when the power goes off here any more. Very nice looking setup.

I don't know that unit, but you did turn on the main breaker, right?

For one more data point, when I power my whole house with my 003A I'm using just about 1 gallon per hour. I'd expect a little more than 2 days with a 55 gallon drum of fuel. Load is 40% to 50% most of the time, with peaks close to max, and valleys at 25%.

Right, Jimc, but mine seemed stuck at first, too, and I wondered about it just like reybo did. I finally lifted the lever, rocked it back and forth a few times, and yanked it out. It seems that the rubber took a set from being compressed for a long time and didn't shrink small enough to easily...

I have a feeling that if one glow plug has enough hours on it to burn out an element, the others may not be far behind, but maybe the guys with more diesel experience can correct me if I'm wrong.

And of course many 240V devices are OK with 208V. Certainly water heaters and ranges are, and a lot of motors are designed for either, just check the name plate specs first.

I would offer to help, but the one my son printed from my drawing was for installing a small rectangular Hobbs hour meter in the round cutout. It was more of a fun project than anything else, since for making just one, it would have been faster to cut one out of aluminum. :-D

Sounds like you need another accident.

Cool. :-D

I don't know if this will help, but if Jerry doesn't have some on hand, McMaster-Carr has a fair selection. Maybe something will match.

I see your confusion, Jerry. I think he meant to say "If everyone would like me to post another play by play thread, I have no problem doing that." Darned smart phones. :p

Sounds scientific to me, just make note of the ambient temperature both days.

I found this informative page: http://www.oliverdiesel.com/tech/timing.htm

That's the spirit! I'm interested in the load test results. Wild guess: late will reduce overload capacity, early would tend to smoke at high load, it will do pretty well.

I guess you could have a mobile storage shed and move it around with your tractor until you get the deuce. Actually, I figured you already had a halfway big truck, but I don't know why I thought that. If your wife is trying for your butt in your last post, she has terrible aim. :grin:

If you get a cheap surplus shipping container and bolt it on, you'll have a really nice enclosed trailer.

Isn't that funny... some spring stacks look like they were not meant to actually move. I have a few of those myself, and they don't move much.

Or maybe they would read that as missing important information, so they ended the sale to fix things and relist? Just trying to see the positive side of things.
