Thanks! Unfortunately, this is a private pond and fishing is prohibited there. And the weather was very hot that day, it was unlikely that the fishing was successful. Yes, I know about gridfinity, but I haven't used it yet, I make my models in FreeCAD.

Thanks! :beer: I would also like to be your neighbor. :beer: Yes, you can make the car run on a different type of fuel. We can also install equipment for using propane instead of gasoline. But installing gas equipment on a gasoline engine is the same as urinating in your pants to keep warm...

As I mentioned before, I have a toy — a 3D printer. It turns out to be a very useful thing in the garage. I've already printed a bunch of useful items: various boxes, stands, enclosures, etc. Some things I design myself using FreeCAD, others I download from the internet. Today I printed a...

It looks like the situation in the USA in the 70s. There are differences in the fact that at that time there was simply a reduction in oil supplies and a price increase. In our case, there is oil, there are no plants that can process it into gasoline and diesel. They are all either destroyed or...

Thanks Rian! Unfortunately, this is the case and it is very sad. The picture is good, it accurately reflects my current state. :) In reality, production has decreased by 35-40%, and taking into account the next completely destroyed refinery, this is actually a decrease of 50% or more. At the...

Greetings to all friends! The tractor project is moving very slowly. I'm trying to work on it, but it's hard to make myself do anything, especially in light of recent events. The events are far from joyful — my family road trips seem to have come to an end. The reason is simple: there's no...

It looks like a victory! These white sheets of paper have been under the car for almost 24 hours without a single drop of oil falling on them.

I can buy it in an online store. I can just come to the auto parts store and buy it right away. As a rule, popular products (oil, brake pads, filters, gaskets, etc.) are always available. Moreover, the Oka is a domestic car and about 2/3 of the spare parts are used on other domestic cars.

I really hope so. :) Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. :beer: Day 3. The engine is in place. It was easier than I expected. Now I just need to install the accessories, fill in the oil, and add antifreeze. Then I can perform a test run.

Yes, it was this engine. I then replaced all the gaskets and oil seals. Because the oil was flowing out of all the cracks. It helped for a short time, the oil stopped flowing from under the gaskets and oil seals and the oil found another way. :) In order to solve this problem, the engine had...

It's the second day, or rather the evening, of searching for the source of the oil leak in the engine. I believe I have found and resolved the issue. When I removed the flywheel, I noticed that there was an отсутствующий bolt on the rear cover of the engine. This bolt is located near the oil...

I started repairing my Oka car. I've been dealing with an oil leak from the engine for a long time. At first, it was just a few drops at night, but now it's like a constant drip like rain. This happened after I drove my Oka car for a couple of dozen kilometers in search of gasoline. When I...

I continue to work with the tractor. I made an oil pump belt tensioner. I took the air conditioner belt tensioner from Hyundai Getz as a basis. I made the bracket I needed out of 5 mm thick metal.

Too many missiles and drones have reached the refineries. This caused disruptions in the supply of gasoline.

I'm working on my tractor a little bit. I started making an oil pump drive. Previously, it will look like this. We also need to adjust the belt tension. There is not enough time for everything, but this is an eternal problem. In addition, recent events are also not conducive to active...

I was returning from the village in the evening. On the highway, at a speed of about 110-120 km/ h, vibration began, which intensified. I stopped to check the wheels and saw this picture. I had to put a spare tire . I mentally thanked the Japanese who had driven this car before and chose a...

Thanks! Yes, it's scary. But somehow it has already become commonplace and there is no panic. It's just uncomfortable and frustrating that nothing can be done about it.

Once again, I returned to work with the seat on the tractor. I used an office chair, added horizontal adjustment to it. Now I can adjust my driving position more comfortably. :) And again about our daily lives. Early yesterday morning, I was woken up by sirens and a loud explosion in the...

"The government lives on another planet" - This is a phrase from the fantastic comedy "Kin-dza-dza" (Кин-дза-дза) filmed back in the USSR in 1986. Looking at the madness that is going on around it seems that the author of the film was right

I'm dealing with the settings and operation of the 3D printer. It's very interesting and no less funny. I've already caught the so-called "death drop" on him. It took a long time to clean everything of plastic and print a new nozzle air duct. But now I know exactly how the printhead of my...
