Broken tractor joystick housing. Temp fix with stainless screws and JB Weld. New part is $194 just for the housing.

Some tree cleaning…. Beach grown Douglas fur can grow slow, about 75 years old!
Got my new pegs for the r, they were pretty reasonable

Got a rush fix on a trx450, wouldn’t start, nothing worked, but you could bump start it or take a screwdriver and jump the solenoid, and it would crank too, so I tested the key switch and it passed. Removed the rear plastics, and I checked the fuses and they looked good at first glacé, but I tested them with a meter and it failed, can see it on the close up

Mom called crying in pain from passing kidney stones and blood after a treatment to blast them…don’t think they blasted them small enough. Good thing for back roads…

Field trip to Native American fish traps from when this below sea level valley we live in was actually below sea.

Want to go to these tires on my truck



Might whittle on theses sticks so they can move them.

Sumpin weird got in the fire

395 didn't need much grinding on the inside, so I figured I'd grind some on the outside

Good for 1hp and 3ft/lbs?

That pitchy pine knot/fork felt like I’d hit a nail it was so hard.

Finished an older cut…266 doesn’t get it done like the 395 404

Jump started a plane a few years ago,,, View attachment 324965 View attachment 324966

Is it just me or is a plane with a previously dead battery flying off into the sunset kinda scary. What if the charging system was the cause of said dead battery?

Little valve cover gasket time on the 30 valve. I have cross contaminated the German car with stuff for J.A.Pan autos. Think someone has been in on the passenger bank before. No sealant around the camshaft caps and the nuts were super tight.

Yes, unless like I said the charging system is malfunctioning and it quits midair after the voltage drops from the malfunction. When you jump start you effectively charge a dead battery. If the charging system is bad it will continue to run until the battery drops below the voltage required for it to run then it just quits. What your saying will work assuming someone left the lights on and it's a weak battery that will accept a charge. If it's a bad battery even with a good charging system you shouldn't be using it with a bad battery as doing that will destroy your charging system because it can't charge a bad battery which causes heat because there's nowhere for the voltage to go and blows out your charging system which will again cause the motor to stop.

What your saying is if the plane had a large pull start like a chainsaw, it would start and stay running like a chainsaw regardless if there is a chaging system or even a battery? No wonder more planes don't crash.

Haven't you seen the war movies where the guys flip the props on the fighter planes to start them up?

If the battery has expired, no amount of engine running will charge it. Also, it could destroy the alternator if the battery's failure mode included an internal short. This sets up a potential chain of failure where the avionics, lights, and electric flaps are inoperable. Night? Short runway? No way to broadcast MayDay? (Bold pilots don't become old pilots.)

Magneto dont care bout anything but itself,, just keeps on sparking,, and usually has a backup as well.
Im not sue if the guy left his lites on or the battery is fubar,, he still owes me beer.
