    6 volt gauge power...why?

    6 and sometimes 5 volt were common on early gauge sets. One theory I heard was to limit the fault current in case a sender shorted out. Most gauge senders go to ground so if it shorted out completely limiting the input to the gauge to 6(5) volts would protect the gauge. I used to have an IH...

    OC-4 transmission disabled and wonder why

    "There is also a roof access opening in this rear passenger area.. not sure what that was for." Escape hatch. You can drop a smaller cat into a hole in the snow and not be able to operate the doors to get out. alternate use is build one of these

    Bio Diesel Plant

    I just stumbled on your thread. Couple of things. First, my point of view, I was the Asst Fire Chief for our large Fire District. We had several incidents with DIY Bio-Diesel. Methanol is a very active nerve poison. Use good PPE/ Ventilation. The bio diesel is fairly safe, but the...

    ST4 restoration of Frankie the Frankentrac

    That's what I went with. RF, hooked to running lights. That way I can take the receiver/monitor to the truck and see what's behind the trailer as I back up. Kinda a two for one deal.

    ST4 restoration of Frankie the Frankentrac

    hope you have better luck with mirrors than I did, after the second set, I gave up. Too much low hanging limbs and brush where I run.

    Solar activity, degrading LEO satellites and potential disruptions to GPS

    So the good old sun coughed up a major hairball. The geomagnetic storm may produce aurora to the N half of USA. It may also affect GPS reliability and the last time it was this strong some LEO satellites were also affected such as IMARSAT. Some of the other effects are power transmission line...

    ST4 restoration of Frankie the Frankentrac

    I have had my cat out at the end of may. Do not give up hope. Even a small run will show if anything needs "tweaked" and give you plenty of time to adjust before the grand entrance next winter.

    Shopping for a Cat: What is best?

    The issue is exactly what Dave found out. The overhung load is huge on these and "normal" components are not able to handle it for any length of time. Certainly you can have the suspension upgraded to handle the load, but you just stepped away from the ease of maintenance you wanted as it's...

    100+ Inches of Snow

    Last year the area where we held California Mountain Madness had a large dump before we got there, and just after we left had a huge dump that buried two story houses. Ski resorts were digging down to get to the tops of the lift towers.
