    Wood ash

    I used it for years before I retired. 2.5 tones of ash = 1 ton of lime and get potash and other plant foods too in small amounts. The very best combination for fescue is woodash and chicken litter. Our ash came from power plants. Not a complete burn. Ash is black. Started out all pine wood being...

    Cooling down a turbocharger.

    Use a good quality synthetic oil and it won't coke. You can do your own test. Get a frying pan hot enough to burn cooking oil. Then try a little conventional engine oil of your choice at that temp. It'll burn and stick. Good synthetic oil may smoke a little but won't coke. I'd never run a turbo...

    Hydraulic oil

    If it has water in the oil use 1 can of sea foam HYDRA TRANS TUNE per 4 gallons of oil in the tractor. Work the tractor getting the hydraulic oil up to temp. Then drain while hot. The sea foam HYDRA TRANS TUNE will get water out that's trapped on the walls and other places. When you drain let it...

    Crows and Sweet Corn

Tied wire to post and then tied the bird blinder ribbon to the poly wire. End of problem. It worked. I run...

    Flo-n-go gas can

    Have three 5gal and three 2.5gal. Oldest about 7 years. Can hold cans in position to fill tanks and not a drop comes out till the button is pressed. They also sell a clear tube extension that's flexible. I haven't bought one of those but would be nice for filling a truck or car. The last one I...

    Flo-n-go gas can

    I use no-spill fuel cans. If you have the tube inserted well into whats being fueled it shuts off when full. Just release the button before pulling tube out. Best fuel cans I've used so far. The fill valve gets the vent air in the same tube that fuel comes out of. Tube in a tube. So when fuel...

    Another AC Gen Question

    I've owned one since 1998. It's pto driven. Never had any problems with it. They are brushless and run very steady voltage. I bought just the generator and made the 3 pt. frame for it. If I needed one I'd buy another Volt Master. Hope this one last many more years.

    Proving Desulating Has Accured?

    Got a battery my son pulled out of his SUV. Told him to bring it to me and I gave him a core to turn in. Ran the smart charger on it to remove sulfate and it took 24 hours. Put that battery in my 97 F150 3 years ago and it's still going strong. It was 4 years old when he took it out. Have one...

    7.3powerstroke won't start

    I have a 87 with 6.9. First time I changed filter it did like yours. From then on when I change the filter I fill either with fuel or lucas injector cleaner most of the way and top off with fuel. It's starts and runs after I started fill the filters.

    OT - Where are the bugs?

    We have plenty here on the southside. Drive at night and splattered all over windshield. Lightening bugs have been out here for the last 4 weeks. That use to be a June thing here.

    you wrote: "So is synthetic all that it cracked up to be?" I'd like you to answer your own question, please. I'm a Amsoil dealer since 1989. When Toyota started making engines that needed 0w20 it wasn't long after us dealers got a bulletin for long drain usage on Amsoil filters. From the time...
