The cylinder

That’s what I thought. I never measured the bore while I had it.

 

[cobey]

That’s a model I want to try a Farmertec engine (complete) in. Just to see how it would come out.[emoji848]

Edit:

Huztl/Farmertec MS260 engine comes close to a Benjamin delivered.

The Bad part is with 026's the tanks leak
And plastics are genrally mess. 260s might be better

Yeah, I know.
The problem is not the company I work for. Put it this way.
I work for company "A".
The building is owned by company "B".
The building is leased by company "C".
Company "A" is employed by company "B" to maintain the building. Company "A" is also, indirectly, employed by company "C" to maintain specialized equipment in the building that company "C" owns. Company "C" did away with smoking accommodations about a year ago. You could still smoke in your car, but no where else. The building sits on 22 acres.
A week ago, December 19th, company "C" changed their employee policy that all locations, nationwide, and world wide, that they were going to be tobacco free. You cannot have tobacco on yourself, in your car, nor on the property. You cannot walk to a public sidewalk to smoke or chew. Basically they are saying, as soon as you drive, or walk, onto leased or owned property, you cannot be in possession of tobacco. They complain about second hand smoke. SMH. About 5 years ago, an employee complained about getting sick every time they came to work. Claiming SBS, sick building syndrom, was making them ill. 1, one, I repeat, ONE person caused 40 grand worth of air quality tests to be done inside and outside the building. This DIRECTLY affected me as I am the one responsible for the HVAC in this building. As it turned out, the air quality inside the building was leaps and bounds above the standards required. We won't go into the quality of the air that this ONE person breaths everywhere else on the planet!
I'm not done *b-wording, yet. I am a firm believer in everyone has the right to make a choice. Life is nothing but choices. From the day you're born till the day you die. This country was founded on the right to be able to choose for yourself what your life will be. But now it is coming to the corporate bottom line. What's good for the company is good for you, too. So, I have decided to quit tobacco in order to keep my job.
I'll probably get hit and killed by a dump truck tomorrow morning.
Rant done, gentlemen. Carry on.

Sounds like company A has a pair of S's in the mix.lol I'm not a smoker but that sounds to darn restrictive.

My woodpile is about gone. Plenty for next year, but hard maple doesn't dry out in two months, no matter how much I wish it to. Plan to get some seasoned elm from Kenneth tomorrow.
This wood furnace does an excellent job heating the house. Fills the ductwork with hot air, and the house stays uniformly about 72. Super cold nights I supplement with a couple of unventeds that help by adding a bit of moisture as well. I like the quiet of not listening to the thirty year-old forced air furnace rattling and banging. Hope you guys are staying warm.

I'll have to go at least to KC to get some 30 gallon drums, it looks like. Grrr.

I get sick of listening to mine, it runs almost non-stop in this cold weather. I'd really like to put a little woodburner in my house.

I'm in the same boat too. I think I'd be better off moving put of Topeka and finding a house with a wood burner at this point.


Topeka Is a chit hole.

My house is a natural gas forced air furnace as the primary heat source. I use wood as a secondary heat. I get home by 5 and build a fire for the evening/overnight and let the gas furnace do daytime duty.

I've got a niece that lives on 80 acres a little north of Holten. Stictly wood heat.

That's kind of how mine is, but I have to choose either-or at any one time, because they share the same ductwork. I did figure out how to clean out ashes using a hardware cloth scoop to move coals to the back of the stove before scooping out the ash. Pretty slick setup, really. Surprised at how well and evenly this system heats the house, far better than a stove in the dining room running you out of the center of the house...

One of Barb’s kindergarten ‘kids’ lived in Holton.

Francis was in her first class about 1963. Down’s syndrome he was. But able to hold a job and live on his own. Since has passed away. Would call Barb once a week to check in with her. We miss him.

Good morning fellas.
I got a service call for an injection molding machine this morning.
I'm not too excited about it...
