DWB Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Before all you young-ins start complaining how dangerous this is, the guy is farther away from the saw than he would be if it was in his hands. It's much more efficient, and he has the saw anchored so it won't move. Smart. wood processing.mp4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Need some help! So we have a shallow well pump that you need to prime up here at the cabin. I haven’t been able to get it to build more than 20psi pressure? I thought it was possibly a bad pressure tank my son thought maybe it just needed a recharge. Finally decided to battle the mosquitoes and do some investigating. Relieved the pressure in the system and took a pressure reading on the tank. 15psi a little low but not bad considering the age. Filled the system again up to 20psi and took another reading on the tank 15psi???? The only thing I can think of is the diaphragm is frozen? Any other ideas???

DWB Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 Couple of things to try: Check the voltage at all your connections inside the control box and pressure switch. Make sure you're getting all the volts you're supposed to. (110 or 220 depending on your pump) Also check your ground wires for tightness. Your diaphragm may have a hole in it (from age) thus not keeping pressure. Hook up a temporary tank and see if it holds pressure any better. That would indicate if you have a tank problem or a pump problem. And finally, inspect your ground (like dirt) from your pressure tank to the well head. If you have a broken pipe, that would also affect your pressure. If there is a wet spot, you might have a cracked pipe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Have an admission, yesterday I posted in the feel good thread how I helped fix a short in a food trailer. But when we thought we were done something was still wrong? Her husband pulled the socket out that I had wired (actually I wired both of them) as soon as I saw it I knew what the problem was! I had the black wires on the ground lug and the green wires on the black side? Ever since the Covid booster shot my mind sometimes gets as confused as a box of marbles! Thank you Dr Fauci?! Guess if I do anymore wiring I better have someone check the work before I button it up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But colors on terminals don't matter................. As long as they go to the same terminals on both ends! That part is, well, kinda important! lol As for the reason of your confusion...

Never got cut with it, but if I come within 10' of one of my tractor PTO implements I start bleeding before I even try to hook it up. Thin skinned I guess. But the nippers are great tools for the metal. Especially if you're doing flashing and such. Metal roofing is usually cut to size. (if you engineer the roof correctly...) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, in my history, "bleeding" from Tractor Implements are on an entirely different level of bleeding than getting poked by sheet metal. What kinda tractors you got? I had no idea. I'm setting watching old farming videos right now, thinking of the 70's and 80's growing up. My fav was an International 856 diesel. It had a canopy and a straight pipe exhaust that was 6" shorter than the canopy. I now know where my hearing loss came from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like a couple weeks ago I drove by a field and out there was like a monument! So far off I couldn’t make out as I drove by what make model year it was but somebody’s tractor! It was like the tractor finally gave up it’s life and instead of pulling it somewhere they just made a monument of it!
