    Generator (ethenol) gasoline storage.

    My generators and portable welder are stored with 100LL aviation gas. $5/gallon, but they run when needed. Also run it in my chainsaws and weed trimmers.

    Battery Charger Repair

    That was me, 6PTsocket. Same guy, same charger. This thing is bigger than it looks in the pic. Ammeter has been broke as long as I remember, but it used to charge around 30-40 amps on fast charge, checked with an amp clamp. I'll look, but I don't think there's a tag anywhere else on it. I've got...

    Propane Tanks as Air Reserve Tanks or Make another Compressor

    Water and weld worked for me. Built a portable one years ago using 100# tank. Smell never did go away completely. 25 years ago, and cousin has it now. Still stinks!

    Battery Charger Repair

    Thanks! This had 4 black plates, with a common bolt and insulators stacking it all together. Plates were brass on one side and natural metal finish on the other. With this stack disassembled, and testing these plates individually, as diodes, one had substantially different readings than the...

    Battery Charger Repair

    In my previous post about it, I found the selenium rectifier on my old Napa battery charger has shorted. Been mulling over repair options, and got to wondering...could I substitute the bridge rectifier assembly out of a Delco truck alternator? Just been kicking this around, and really can't see...

    Old Napa Battery Charger Problem

    My ancient Napa 85-140 battery charger has apparently died. On 12v low, it has about 9v output, 11.5 on hi and 12.8 on boost. 6v functions are all low also. Has ampereage enough to spark nicely, and ammeter shows output, but voltage is low. I can see AC voltage change at rectifier inputs as...

    Has anyone built a front end loader for a garden tracton using plans from P.F.Enginee

    If you're putting the loader on a 425, I'd reccomend swapping the forward hydrostat relief. Check with a Deere dealer; there's a service bulletin on these for loader use. There is a S/n break on 425's for Heavier differential carrier and spider gears, and heavy loads will tear these up. IIRC...

    question on some simple sheet metal work,

    Interesting project! Could you increase capacity by spinning this while running grain through it? What kind of grain are you sorting, and why?
