    Soldering gland on fuel line

    I'm looking forward to trying 50-50 solder on steel. I've always kept an assortment of brazing,soldering, welding fillers and fluxes on hand and never occurred to me that plumber's solder sticks to steel.

    Parade/show tractor tire dressing

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them. Well not all of them, I'm afraid gasoline will make matters worse.

    Parade/show tractor tire dressing

    I have two different needs, one for old tires showing weather cracks and the other for tires in fine condition. I despise the wet, greasy appearance some dressing create. I like low gloss that mimics new tires. The best I've found for old and weather cracked in past is satin latex paint which...

    Cutting wire covered propane hose

    I have 20 feet of new 1/2" propane hose with woven stainless steel cover I'd like to make shorter hoses from. The only way I can think of to cut the wire jacket is 4.5" angle grinder cutting disc. Heat generated in contact with rubber smokes and melts resulting in a mess on disc and hose...

    Getting Decals Made

    I've been able to get anything I have clear pictures of from a local office supply, print and sign shop. A couple times they resized or changed colors for me. Cost is waaaaay cheaper than anything online selling decals.

    Hay as a Profitable Endeavor

    There's an old saying that goes something like "You better make hay while the sun shines".

    Trailer wiring

    It's best to disable charge circuit from truck to prevent overload while operating winch. My dump trailer disconnects automatically when motor is activated. Some people run battery cable from truck battery to trailer battery which imo overkill.

    Tracking stolen items

    I'm of the opinion insurance companies should reward customers who plant devices to assist recovery, I've known of two cases where people did just that and cops would not or could not get warrants to enter property to investigate. On the other hand a car load of cops showed up at my...
