    OT - towing a 2000 Ranger....

    If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional towing service or, if you are a member, your roadside assistance center. It is recommended that your vehicle be towed with a wheel lift or flatbed equipment. Do not tow with a slingbelt. Ford Motor Company has not approved a...

    O/T Elevator..People kind

    Thanks to those that tried to be helpful. This subject appears to be a bit complex for this forum. I really need to go yo the shop, beat some steel or perhaps turn some wrenches. Regards, Brad

    O/T Elevator..People kind

    Well what people don't seem to understand is that this device is not required for fire or other purposes. It is a convenience. People are quick to say "shut it down" unfortunately this is where these people live. Most don't have any other option. Thanks for your interest. Brad

    O/T Elevator..People kind

    Well it appears that I made an error in bringing this to this forum. The home in question serves the lower income folk, laborers, service people and at least a few retired farmers. Sorry to have disturbed anyone's important business here. Brad

    O/T Elevator..People kind

    I just finished a tour of a local assisted living facility (I am an Ombudsman for a similar facility) and observed this two story facility with a non-working elevator. The senior residents are using a very steep three flight stairway to0 access the upper floor. Does anyone know of perhaps a...

    New 5 gal Gas Cans

    Just went through that. Virtually all the plastic cans have the 'safety' valve installed and I have yet to see one that worked anywhere as good as the rubber hose with the plug. To get a decent can with a working valve you need to get a type 1 or 2 can. They are metal and the only ones I saw...

    good news / bad news

    Ahh I was playing in a gravel pit when I was 14. My play involved loading a small dump truck with a backhoe and trucking the gravel about a mile away to backfill a drainage system. The only time I had trouble is when I backed the dumptruck too far and put the duals in the ditch. I then got to...

    Welding table ( a bit long)

    I would not mount a cut-off saw to a table or any surface. one of the advantages of that type of saw is it's portability. If you end up buying your stock (tube, angle exc.) from a steel house it will come in 'sticks' 20 or 24 feet long and supporting the loose end while cutting a foot or two...

    Preventing wet basements - suggestion

    Geez, that really sounds great. Makes me want to cover my own house with dirt. Think of the advantages... No more hounds--Attack moles could be used. I could hang worm feeders outside my windows and have the coolest periscope in the neighborhood!! Brad.

    OT Diesel experts

    Thanks to all for the replies!! I think my path will be to buy a new PMD and aee it it solves the problem. Probably not a bad thing to have a spare in any case. Will update in a few days. Brad
