    Magneto operation?

    Thanks for the replies. I did clean the points, actually I removed them and used a point file to clean them. Feels like I am getting a good snap but no spark. I will try the new condenser before I go to much further. Thanks again, Rich

    Magneto operation?

    I am installing a Magneto on my JD "B". According to the manual you install a bare wire in the top post and have the other end of the wire within 1/8" of the metal case. Then slowly turn the Magneto until you get a spark. Once you get the spark you stop and install the Mag. I cannot get a spark...

    Tractor work after having shingles.

    I had them on the right side of my face. Had me out of commission for a few days. Had some perscription meds for them but do not remember what it was. Had to have my vision checked because having them on your face can affect the eye. Only had them once so far and wouldn't wish them on anyone!!!

    Welding rods decoded

    I don't know about Canada but here in the US a Boilermaker is not a pressure vessel welder. Boilermaking involves a large variety of jobs. Fitting, disassembly and reassembly of heat exchangers/ boilers and the like. My primary craft is a boilermaker. I worked in a shop where we built all forms...

    Re: Was a long week...

    Below is some paraphrasing from Section IX QW-322.1 and 322.2 ASME code section IX states that a welders qualifications can be revoked if: a. They have not welded in process during a 6 month period or b. There is a specific reason to question their ability to make welds that meet the...

    What do you do for a living?

    My craft here is a "Metal mechanic". They combined three crafts Boilermakers, Welders and Sheet metal mechanics. You get letters behind your name for each category you are qualified in. Mine are B, W, S meaning I am primarily a Boilermaker with welding secondary and sheet metal last. Since they...

    pressure washer

    The pump is probably shot. I forgot to winterize mine one year and the pump acted just like you describe. I bought another pump and bolted it up to the motor.

    do you remember a perfect year?

    I remember once back in the 60's where my parents had the most bountiful year ever. Still didn't end up really making any money but boy did we have massive amounts of tomatoes, peppers and other stuff to haul to market. Had to borrow trucks to get it all there in less trips. Can't remember how...

    Round Top shelter

    I have a 30 x 15 x 48 I bought from Farmtec 8 years ago. I would not buy another one from them. Parts were missing. Wrong replacement parts sent. Cover ripped in less than 7 years. Luckily I saved all reciepts. They tried to claim my cover was only warranted for 5 years (it was actually 15)...

    Used air compressor

    Hydro-testing the tank is a good idea. The test pressure should be 1.5 times MAWP for tanks built prior to 1999 and 1.3 times the MAWP for newer tanks. If the tank is not stamped with the MAWP see if the relief valve has a set-pressure stamped on it and use that as the MAWP. Watch for any...

    Pressure vessel pictures

    I agree 100%. I have worked in a pressure vessel shop building and repairing these vessels. I now do more inspecting than actually working on them. There was a picture I had a while back of a 6' X 40' tank that was improperly repaired. It didn't explode thankfully but it did launch itself over...

    pancake repair

    This has been discussed on here many times. Air tanks are extremely dangerous to work on. I am a welder, Certified Welding Inspector and hold the following API certifications. API-510 (for pressure vessels) API-570 (for process piping) API-653 (for storage tanks). I work for a company with an...
