    ATV/lawn mower hydraulic lift

    I use a Mojack EZ Max lift that I bought at Family Farm and Home. It takes a while to set up, but easily lifts the front of my 1100 lb ZTR. Broken down, it doesn't take a lot of room to store. You can remove the jack handle and operate it with an impact driver, but I've never bothered to do...

    Dowsing Rods

    Controlled conditions would be where the purported dowser doesn't already know the approximate location of the buried object, and there are no obvious clues as to where it might be.

    Dowsing Rods

    Who called somebody a liar, John? You're the only one who used that word. I merely stated that dowsers have never successfully demonstrated their purported abilities under controlled conditions, even though at one time a million dollars was up for grabs. Which is a fact. You can be mistaken...

    Simpson analog multi meters?

    DC volts doesn't work. It could probably be brought back to like with some contact cleaner, but I have a thirty-year-old Fluke 77 that works just fine and fits in my tool bag.

    What size is M24X2 Castle Nut?

    Just as a 1/2 inch wrench doesn't fit a 1/2 inch bolt head, a 24 mm wrench won't fit an M24 nut.

    What size is M24X2 Castle Nut?

    Yeah, but you'll have to buy the whole set. HF no longer sells individual wrenches. I usually buy big sockets at my nearby Ace Hardware, which carries Craft$man. For a cheaper tool, Home Depot sells individual sockets but I don't know that they carry the really large sizes.

    Simpson analog multi meters?

    I still have a Simpson 260 I was issued back in 1979. It doesn't work so I don't use it. A friend of mine worked at an army avionics shop back in the seventies. He said that somebody in the shop discovered that the Simpson 260 front panel and back cover could be ordered separately as repair...

    Dowsing Rods

    It depends on the species. An American elm branch will always give the depth in feet, regardless of what country you're in. But a communist Chinese elm branch will be calibrated in meters.

    Dowsing Rods

    John, if Maxwell's equations can't explain dowsing, should we just chalk it up to witchcraft? I'm asking you as both an engineer and a theologian.

    Todays not funny

    Having grown up in eastern Colorado, I seldom get sick of rain. Not even when I lived in coastal NC, where it rains pretty much the entire month of May. On the High Plains, every day of rain is a holiday.

    Dowsing Rods

    So.... has anyone ever made a set of DEFECTIVE dowsing rods? You know, ones that didn't work? And when you replaced them with a different set of dowsing rods all the sudden you were able to find exactly what you were looking for? Interestingly, dowsers are never able to demonstrate their...

    Gasoline dye

    Does it have an hourmeter? You probably know how many hours you can expect to get out of a tank of petrol. Write down the hours somewhere with a grease pencil when you fill it up and you'll know how many hours you have left in the tank.

    Mystery padlock

    That company probably made tens of thousands of those locks. I feel like I've seen one, but can't say when or where. But now, of course, they are totally useless. The last rotary phone switches were removed years ago.
