You keepin a few for yerself?

Back to project #1. Both of my fans have been complaining of the lack of progress. Ordering parts online costs actual money and a lack of disposable funds has occured. My go fund me page has become awww fu** me page. Now thas has been resolved and the big ugly brown truck has been making an...

What? of course it is! just like a hair and a fuzz are flexible units of measure! The words you speak are heresy! you need to retract such language and make a blood offering to the gods while begging forgiveness!

l like the "evil" theme but not evil knievil. maybe "evil artist" no maybe "evil f'n artist"?

nice work there buddy. Can you build me nice boat now? Ya got this FG stuff down! Those are some good lookin hubs, for sure.😁 but do they work? Do they run out or worse?

I'm bettin that they aren't using the same type taper as a 40 year old B&S. I did take advantage of the situation and advance it a fuzz. and yeah tapers work, ya see em all over the place.

So the keyway on the crankshaft is buggered up from chewing up the key. As an experiment l am trying to go keyless. l need this thing to run a few more hours B4 winter repair season. Dont have time right now to fix it right now. How well ya think Loctite would work? l have some #727 and it is...

that sprocket is worn out. notice the hooked teeth? not good! heat the hub with a torch get it off and replace both sprockets and the chain and live happily ever after!

Pancho, thanks but ya are exaggerating... among the 873 projects in progress right now is my DIY lawn dethacher. The resident wench here has requested the grass here @ MTL needs fixin. that requires a machine. my inner cheapskate would not authorize a rental, so.... i built one, keeping with...

https://powerxinternational.com/product-category/pumps/air-hydraulic/?srsltid=AfmBOorsrZ5MH1Ve-3VPR30sGbaCR0J2RLaFTKJDGmFJRCWtTmHBU--3 cheaper ones exist.

That must be air over hydraulic. They use an air operated hydraulic pump. An air compressor can not make enough pressure alone. Nice setup, the only effort required is stepping on a pedal.

Just when ya thought it was safe we're back! The fucation is over and its time to get serious. Tryin to finish up the rear, axles, brakes, sprockets shocks and all that 'spensive stuff. The sprocket and chain should be here monday. So while waitin took it all apart to cut keyways yada yada yada...

plans are only suggestions, adapt and overcome! Known as empirical engineering! l bought a unaffordable pro tools bender 25 years ago when i had a job. l'm glad l have it but to buy it today would be difficult at best!

You dont sound like your need advice, yer a man with a plan. Discussing alternate materials and methods benefits the youngn's and the less experienced among us, so an occasional re hash of the basics is a good thing.

Only the builder/operator can decide on what to use, obviously. We use whats we can afford, fits our needs and can be massaged into what we want with the tools/processes available to us. I use DOM all the time, but i scored a bunch for scrap price. We are mostly backyard fabricators, without...

HREW tubing is plenty strong as well. While DOM is mo bedder, HREW is significantly le$$ mooola. I have built a few roll cages from HREW on some heavy pigs. They held up well to unintended field testing. The end use of the vehicle is a big factor in material choice. A weld failure is far more...

I know ya'll know that tubing and pipe have different OD sizes, so this is a free public service announcement to remind ya'll to buy the right tool for the material ya wanna bend. Pipe and rigid conduit are the same OD and EMT (thin wall) conduit is another size. Yer Welcome!

Don't let anyone discourage you from using HF or other chinese wheels/tires. They are of the finest quality and will last a few minutes, lf you don't push en too hard. Here is a video of their best tires in action. https://youtube.com/shorts/nDJzSnKC89w?si=g_vaMWPvqkf9y6TU

His chick magnet? Do old chick magnets attract old chicks? l'll try one of these: https://www.circuitbasics.com/voltage-regulators/
