Yep, pulling that vine out I'd have been using the log chain hooked to the truck with the spare tire under the chain next to the vine trunk, to pull it up and out.

Years ago when "Fix a flat" had a brass screw on end on the on the hose, I salvaged that brass end to make my own hose to mount to my pump. I leave the valve stem in with the new tube already being flat and pump the washer fluid in. The pump I have will just barely build enough pressure to...

Great day today, 56f, mostly clear skies and only a slight breeze :drool: Broke out the shorts and got a megadose of vitamin D ;) The weather guessers now say 78 for tomorrow and 80 for Wednesday for the metro area, so should see 73 & 75 here. Still 90-95% snow cover here but that will change qu...

So I stumbled across this sign, and for the first time, it'll soon be true for me! How cool is that? LOL https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V1TMRP8 Bob I was looking at signs similar to that. My buddy who can be quite paranoid at times, said NO. If you had to put down a criminal and the cops saw those si...

It wasn't easy but the swing cylinder is out. What I find surprising about this backhoe is that the exterior shape of all parts is extremely bad, lots of pretty deep rust. Yet the clearest and cleanest red hydraulic oil came out of the hoses and cylinders. No sludge in the swing cylinder either. Th...

I never knew that the Fords offered a backhoe. I would say either it was too expensive to afford, or that they didn't hold up very well. Because I've never seen one. This is the first I've ever heard of them. Bob Probably the cost. Thinking how often you'd end up using it, and it just sitting aroun...

Comparison. Zinc plated and wire brushed vs the old state still to be done. The zinc layer is thick enough to take a good brush on. 003845C5-8024-4465-AB3E-DE2577E54906.jpeg Looking good :worship: :thumbsup: :hm: Inquiring minds want to know ;) By chance did you mic them before and after, just curi...

Average high here should be 52f now, yesterday was 30f and today might make it to 38 in the metro area which generally means 4-5 lower here. The 7 day forecast shows Tues & Wed might get to 75f

Thank You, This bit left me confused in the first thread. "Then you hook the donor zinc piece in the bath, on the positive lead of the power source, and the piece you need plated on the positive lead in the bath."


Gordy

Good ramble, but confused which gets hooked to the positive lead in the bath Since lead is out of favor for tire balancing, aren't the new weights made of zinc? I have some and can get more of them if they would work
