    Plumbing house repipe, copper or PEX?

    I know this is off track but my "time bomb" cpvc is 43 y.o. No problems yet, and I did it myself. Do they install it still there?

    How to deal with a lot of keys

    Off subject but when I was younger I tied my metal car key to the string in my bathing suit to go surfing and swimming. Later when I got keys with batteries and buttons had to rethink it. Usually just hid it, but I did see some lock boxes you could buy to fit your window glass or something.

    The dangers of a long beard.

    I was an operator at a Paper Mill in the 80's, had 2 Beloits, and 1 Dominion. After some maintenance on the Dominion some guys could not account for a crowbar. The bosses gave everyone like 5 minutes to find it, then we started up. Started rolling the Press Section.....found it!! Destroyed the...

    Weird Heat Pump Issues- Article

    I used to do A/C way back when they were simple. My thought is temperature differential between the inside and outside driving the refrigerant movement. I assume it happens, and maybe some kind of check valve or relief is acting up?

    Neighbor gave me a generator!

    We bought a 12000 btu window unit to run off our 5000 watt generator. It will run it, then shut it off and run the well, shut it off, run our 40 gallon electric water htr, etc. It will get you by for a while providing you can get / have gas. Also have one of the new lithium battery powered units...

    Neighbor gave me a generator!

    For the NGK plug they are available with 2-3 different caps. I forget what they call the solid snap on cap, I bought one at Oreillys and it had the threaded top and I didn't have any threaded caps laying around. If you need to just call NGK. I ended up ordering from them, cheaper anyway. (I also...

    Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now

    I spoke with the Hydrogear Techs by phone today. They seem to want to help. I told him about the slower right side and also about the Bypasses not letting the trans freewheel and he seemed pretty surprised by that (bypasses). Said the only way it would move while in B/P is if the linkages to the...

    hydro gear 3400 uneven fluid level in reservoirs?

    Mowed 1-1/2 hours today with my 3100's, ambient 78F. R case 145, L 138 degrees. The R one is the run running slowish.

    Brick Houses? Yes Or No...?

    I love our brick veneer, my only regret is not going all the way up on the gable end. 105 wood has to be replaced when it rots and cleaned every few years and repainted.

    Gravely ZT 60 w/3100's, Handles not lining up in full reverse.

    I have another thread about this now. Issue is still there, and the bypasses don't work to let it freewheel. "Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now"

    Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now

    They used to be, now they are not. Just off an inch at the most. Nothing external looks bent or out of adjustment. I've taken the wheels off and studied all the linkages on both sides, nothing stands out. Wheels do not rotate when in neutral (when running and parking brake is on). I've backed...

    hydro gear 3400 uneven fluid level in reservoirs?

    Get a temperature reading on the cases. My 3100's were running around 120F after 20 minutes of light use on a 77 degree day. They were both the same. I suspect this summer they will be quite a lot hotter. I was just running mine because I'm dealing with other issues. Slow speed on one side and...

    Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now

    Went out to check that this am, the Bypass mechanisms are hooked up and moving fine on both sides. I tried to drive it a little in BP and maybe break it free internally? Drove normally. THEN turned motor off, put BP in mow, and R side wheel wouldn't move at all- Uh oh. Put back in BP, now it's...

    Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now

    C/O oil and filter today, oil was like new. Correction: 15-50 M1. Did the air purge for 10 minutes, still the same. Fluke temp gun temps identical at 107-108. I noticed that the bypasses made little difference in trying to push the mower, (really) hard to roll either way. I don't think the...
