    Way OT--WW2 bomber question

    According to the wiki page on the B-29 named Bockscar, which dropped Fat Man on Nagasaki, it did have reversible propellers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bockscar Read "Landing and debriefing" for the details. Interesting story.

    I Challenge you to make a JD 4010 gas run RIGHT!!!!

    Unless you richened up every time you throttled up, it would still stumble. Because some people would think of that as a pain, they would consider it a failure (even though it WOULD work). But it would be the bees knees for the parade tractor. Richen it up, start it and warm up, then lean it...

    On a sale who pays for loading

    But its not your neighbor so there is no "neighborly thing" owed to you. Think of it from the neighbors point of view; some stranger buys something from your neighbor. The guy buying it is not making the effort to bring something to load with and you are asked to step in. How many times do...

    inflation

    Rick, enrollees are down to under 9 million people. There was just a big article a week or so about it, including Bummer giving a ton of money to the insurance companies that is against the law and lots of talk of the "death spiral" being a mathmatical certainty at this point. It would have...

    Aluminum wheels.

    Common here in Wisconsin, right about the 10-15 year mark you start having problems. Like mentoned, its corrosion. You can do it yourself if you want. I took off the rims, broke the bead on one side of the tire only. Pushed the bead in and put some scrap blocks of 2x4s between the bead and...

    O/T Old Jam Cupboard (pics)

    Thats how the tops were. I have seen where people put a board flush with the existing top so they could put stuff on top (figurines, cookie jars, or tractor displays) but I dont think its common. All you do is put a few small pieces of wood 3/4 inch down from the top on the inside and the...

    Chicken fence

    I have 6 foot kennel panels, with one wing clipped they stay in pretty well, maybe 1 or 2 a year get out. With both wings clipped, about 10 times that fly out. Hawks only get 1 or 2 a year, I dont think they like dropping in 6 feet of chainlink, same with owls. Free ranging in yard or...

    Cast Iron Skillet

    Like I was telling John, to most people its a religion and they refuse to listen to logic or reason. If you are happy, carry on. But that wont change the fact that I wash mine and people still talk romantically about how great cast iron is, how their mammy never washed her pan in years and I...

    Cast Iron Skillet

    Lodge pans are cast heavy (thick) and have little or no clean up on them. Its almost criminal how they wont finish up a pan.... BUT, its made here in America and labor costs money. They barely grind off the joint flash and what they do is rough and ugly. Before you season it, pick up where...

    Can I run a wood shop with pto or belt drive off tractor?

    The belt is 4 or 5 feet long, 1/8 of a turn in that amount of belt is nothing. Machinery is not hard to find at all, you could even buy it brand new at Home Depot if you wanted. Just take off the electric motor and hook up the belt to the line shaft.... done.

    1500 watt tub heater

    It costs 50 cents a day average to keep a 55 gallon barrel (cut down a bit to hold 40 gallons) from freezing in Wisconsin. Verified with a Kill-O-Watt meter.
