    harbor freight 20 lb. sand blaster - looking for tips

    Why don't you buy a new air compressor tank. Even if you get the rust out of there, it will rust more than it used to because you skinned the rust layer off. If you shopped a bit, they only cost about 10 dollars per gallon new.

    Fan blades

    I think that looks the way it should, and the tips are bent toward the radiator face, that's the direction they ought to go.

    Need some old type fuses information

    It's an old topic where the question has been long answered. My interest is the Lister, and from the photo it does appear to actually be a Lister. I'm wondering why it isn't located in an engine room of a ship? That's where they belong. Yours is a nice electric start one, on many of the...

    Whats the oldest tool you carry?

    I follow Chowda Hill the skipper of the USS Truman (CVN 75) on Twitter, he's always talking about Taco Tuesday aboard his ship. According to him it's a very big deal. Apparently it's a weekly necessity needed to keep the ship sailing upright. A Toco simply has to be eaten right side up, if...

    So TACO Tuesday is not just a theory for you. ;)

    Whats the oldest tool you carry?

    I was on the Bering Sea near Alaska for crab in 1987 and 88. Then some coastwise work in the south after that for another year. I know the skipper of the Northwestern which is an old boat on the Deadliest Catch show. He was a boy sailing with his father when I was there. I never crewed on...

    Fan blades

    It sounds like they are supposed to have the bends at the tip. A Ford 600 has a three blade fan like that. Those bends at the tips increase the air pressure of the fan a lot. A whole lot more air pressure. Tractors need that, trucks do not, so truck fans don't have the tip bends. It's like...

    Whats the oldest tool you carry?

    I like playing with the Grok thing. I have a Craftsman planer and a Delta Joiner. A lot of folks call jointers, planers. The concept of a planer is that the wood is power fed across the knife's using rollers, they are wide. A jointer is narrow, 4 to 8 inch knives, and the wood is hand fed...

    Whats the oldest tool you carry?

    I asked Grok about this. This is how my conversation went: Grok, could you research this and find out what tool this person is talking about? I’d be happy to help! However, I’ll need more context to identify the specific tool the person is referring to. Could you provide additional details...

    Whats the oldest tool you carry?

    My 3 pound 8 ounce Plumb double bit axe. The head is in the ballpark of being a hundred years old. It's an excellent splitting axe. I bet I swing it several hours a year, and have for 30 some years. I also have an old Plumb Victory axe head mounted on a handle which is a double bit 4 pound 8...

    8N reverse drive

    The length of the tractor matters as well. The stadics factors are not hard to set up. What I was saying is the size of the wheels matter because they factor into how much the leverage the load exerts on the axle pivot point, which must be opposed by leverage produced by the length of the...

    8N reverse drive

    A tractor won't make a very good forklift. It's a size of the wheels issue. When a load is picked up, and is up several feet in the air, it's a great big bummer to have the forklift and load pivot around the drive axle, and then dump the load, at which point the steering axle, which has been...

    8N reverse drive

    The Sherman reverser sounds like the complete answer. I can't understand why he would need to modify the shift linkage though. When he wanted to go backwards he would shift the Sherman to make it so and then turn the seat around or twist his body around and then his neck even further around...

    12 chane over 8n

    This AI thing is fun. I asked it to tell me what I would need to do what I did about a month ago, something I know the solution to, I want to see how well the AI will do. It's 1/3 the topic of this thread. I asked Grok: Grok since you answered that last question so thoroughly I will now ask...

    12 chane over 8n

    I said would use an industrial A belt, I said FHP belts would fit, and would work. Both are up to the task, a tractors fan and alternator is a fraction HP load. A cross section belts are just a durable, or more durable. They are used on equipment which runs 24/7 for the life ot the machine...
