It's been pretty slow around here on weekends for awhile.

Honestly? I wouldn't do anything in the restaurant, but I would telephone the trucking company to complain about the rudeness of their people. If that didn't work I'd eat somewhere else.

So what would YOU do with a loudmouth in a restaurant

Antioxidant is just that - it coats the metal to keep oxygen away. Oxygen causes surface corrosion (oxidation). Even a tiny bit of oxidation will cause resistance at connections to increase. Increased resistance causes increased heat. Increased heat causes thermal expansion. Aluminum expands and contracts more with temperature than does copper, thus loosening the connection with each thermal cycle. Remember years ago when there were a bunch of house fires blamed on aluminum wiring? Reports are it was caused exactly by this problem.

[QUOTE=Biokirk;156147] Thanks,It took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit. Probably about 10 hours. The time doesn't bother me too much considering what it would have cost to pay someone to do it. Having done it, I'm sure I could nw do it in a lot les time. [/QUOTE]

It looks like a very big job, 10 hours doesn't seem so bad. I sort of expected 2-3 days. Good work!

Often the simplest solution is the right one. With the ignition and light switches on, is there power to both of the headlamps? If so, the control circuit is working and it's probably a bad ground connection. If not, is there a fusible link in the circuit somewhere?

Murf, thanks as always. I'll figure out some way to get it drained. It's funny, a few years ago I knew we'd have to put in some retaining walls and drew scale drawings of what was needed, and even made a bill of materials to order. Now that it's time to build them everything has changed due to site details that haven't changed at all. :(

[QUOTE=Murf;156053] Thank you for the kind words.If I may suggest, put down a liberal amount of grass seed, or plugs of turf. If you let nature take it's course I doubt you'll end up with 'native grasses'.Best of luck. [/QUOTE]

It wouldn't be any worse than the other "landscaping" we have. Heck, we let anything grow as long as it's not Blackberry or Scotch Broom :)

OK, I'm taking Murf's advice and moving the wall. I was trying to avoid rebuilding the steps on the deck but that seems a lot easier than moving the conduit. The steps have 7-8 risers now and with the wall they will be down to only two or three, which is less deck to maintain (always a winning strategy!).

It's stories like these that cause me to never want to tow. :)

Glad it turned out well for all concerned, it could have been a lot worse.

Mine sets on pallets under some evergreen trees. It probably should be tarped but I never seem to get around to it. It is pressure washed and greased good at the end of the season.

Metal is probably the least maintenance, but I like HardiPlank. It just seems more substantial to me. Get it preprimed and it holds paint for at least 10 years (after 8 years our paint has faded a bit but there is no sign of peeling).

It does seem to be working sort of funny. All the results for a topic search of "Jinma Chipper" were threads that had a last post date within the last 12 months, even though some of the threads were started in 2003. What are you searching for?

The Stabil web site says that Stabil is effective in gasoline and diesel fuel.<br>
<br>
It also says that it's safe for E-10 gasoline.<br>
<br>
What it doesn't say is if the ethanol in E-10 negates the effectiveness of Stabil.<br>
<br>
Anyone know for sure? Would their Marine Ethanol product be better in E-10?<br>

Did they say if they found anything unusual with the cylinders? Burrs or nicks or bends or anything?

On gas engines the spark plugs cause this sort of thing, which of course wouldn't be the problem with a diesel engine, but sparks most definitely will cause noise. Sparks would interfere with the radio tuner but not the CD. Arcing in the fan motor could be causing the trouble (motor brushes?)<br>

Usually replacing a clutch on a tractor involves splitting the tractor - a big job. To do it you'd need to have or make the necessary support jigs to separate the two halves and put them back together.

There is a similarly equipped one listed for sale on tractorhouse dot com with an asking price of ~8500 but they didn't say how many hours were on it. You might ask the dealer what the price of a new one is and you can always offer 8500 and let them counter. If you're financing the purchase and they offer 0% financing on a new one with warranty then that may be the better route.

What all do you intend to do with the machine?
