    Watt-hour meter

    Thanks! For some reason I could find that website but not that page. Further searching shows my meter was made in 1956. I think I'll power it up and use it to run the lights in my glass insulator display case.

    a note to all you young fellers

    Spent yesterday helping put steel on a roof. This morning the only things that doesn't hurt to move was my eyelids! But it felt good to be useful.

    Cutting shingles

    I have one of these drill attachments, I haven't cut asphalt shingles with it but I don't see why it wouldn't work. $60 on Amazon.

    Lincoln 150 Weldanpower welder/generator Followup

    Manual here: https://www.lincolnelectric.com/assets/servicenavigator-public/lincoln3/im287.pdf If what you received is like the image, the terminal nearest the chamfer should be the positive DC terminal. Always a chance you got the wrong part.

    Lincoln 150 Weldanpower welder/generator Followup

    If you can post a picture of what you received maybe we can figure it out. I assumed the package would have instructions, sorry. When I check that part number I gave you, I get this image: Note the position of the chamfer (one corner of the diode is flattened) and the one terminal that is 90...

    Big tool, small part

    The ability of a big lathe to do tiny parts is a good indication of its precision. And the operators! Your's is obviously a good one on both counts.

    Internet TOOL Question

    For wireless connection between your device and your local hub (jetpak or ATT) you can only have one path at a time. You see this when your phone or tablet gives you a list of possible wireless connections and you can only pick one. However, if your jetpack and ATT hubs BOTH have provisions...

    Check Engine light disables cruise control

    Can anyone confirm the check engine light on 2002 GM SUV (Tahoe, Envoy, Bravada, Trailblazer, etc) disables the cruise control? I find info both yes and no on the net. I've had this one to three different shops and the dealer, they change a part (outside air temp sensor, intake temp sensor, cam...

    Anyone direct market meat

    The problem around here is not enough small lockers to keep up with the demand. They might have the animals ready to deliver, but slaughter schedules are months out. Most small herd producers here will only sell to customers that have a confirmed delivery date to the locker so they can manage...

    Machine tool junkyard

    Thanks for the replies and links to other sites, I'll keep looking. Yes I could make a cover and crank, this mill lives next to a matching Clausing lathe and my Bridgeport J Head vertical. And I might consider making an adapter plate to drive the feed with an old Bridgeport electric end drive...

    Snowplow issue

    Mine does that a couple times each year. Every time, a very good cleaning of the controller connector solves the problem. I'm talking about the big flat rubber one with a dozen or so pins between the truck and the plow. I use a .22 cal bore brush on the female end and a wire brush on the male...
