no way in he double hokey sticks I would take re- delivery of that unit. Every module and sensor array has likely been stressed to the max and then some. It will more than likely keep randomly blowing codes due to component failures . I am not a car mech. but I know electronic control...

Addenum: the knocked scope was apx 6.5ft to the right at 100 yds on the first shot , second one was about a little closer about 4 ft right but 2 ft high. Talk about not being able to hit the broad side of a barn while standing inside........................... no irons on the unit . Always...

I will have to get the info from the sleeve the belt was in ( which I saved for getting a new later) .

Up date on Jd belts for the mower blades. I have a JD la120 ( same 42" deck as 110 gone though a mess of belts over the last couple summers. OEM as well as after market all listed at spec length. Even made up a different bracket for the cable to get more adjustment range. I found a different...

yes been that for a very long time. although the delay time is shorter now.

BIg Old buzz saw blades get work hardened ( not to mention excessive heat which also hardens the steel, if run dull) at this point they get brittle and then crack. typically at a gullet. The fix in olden times was to drill a hole at the bottom of the crack to stop its progression - sometimes...

Band mill blades are about .063 thick, then it depends on the particular type , hard edge flex back, hard edge hard back ( spring steel on both of these) bi metal - hard back with a tool steel edge welded on . Variations of metallurgy between different brands. Never made a knife from bandsaw...

I make knives out of old circular saws every so often . The metal is a high chromium content. you can cut it and file it easily with hand tools but the least amount of heat generated say from drill bit or a grinder will make that area harder than a file. Even a carbide bit will not cut...

I wait about 1//2 hour or so

Many years ago all I had was Rem 788 In 6mm. Little 4x scope. never a problem dropping a deer would usually pile up withing 60 yards or less depending on the shot. So one year ( from hxxl) I am out with my neighbor up north around Alma WI hunting on private land. Nice buck steps out of...

the wood fairy and minion, this particular load (3-2025) was mostly red oak, couple 36" x4ft chunks of pine- i can slash those down to pallet planks. Tossing some off the load -too heavy for the hydro to lift

Was out back Saturday found a new pile of Ash the wood fairy left sometime last week. Most of the diameters are over 16" and the bulk of the logs around 14ft long. Did a little bucking with out pulling the pile apart, there is a much as shown plus off the back side of the pile. Then the rain...

there is a huge conglomerate that owns most of these tool mfg. as such since they have been involved quality has slipped substantially. so a partial list :makita, roybi dewalt,milwaukee, lots more i can't remember. repair parts and service are falling behind or simply do not exist. customer...

I have to get creative to drive across town due to construction projects. What takes 30 minutes in the winter takes an hour or more in the summer.
