• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    the Giant Corliss Live Steam Engine - 16" flywheel!

    Thank God: just saw this thread and was very tempted (my High School had a full-size Corliss Engine as part of the Utility Plant, so I was getting nostalgic and checking my 401K balance).

    Let's talk about RAP - retained accessory power

    My wife’s 2019 Trax died overnight because the shift lever wasn’t quite all the way into Park, which allowed radio, lights, etc. to keep going. Since this was the first car without a key, we couldn’t get in so I could pop the hood. (I now know where the hidden key is inside the fob - and why...

    Shop Is your shop messy or spotless?

    Is there a floor drain hidden under the vinyl? I have about 1-1/2” in 12’ slope in my basement to feed the floor drain: made shimming the raised floor I put in what is now the office interesting.

    How to measure high torque values?

    They weren't concerned with them speeding (probably had a hard time getting above 35 MPH), they were ticketing for being overloaded. The bug issue was handled by the Farm Show people inspecting the incoming loads.

    How to measure high torque values?

    I think it was the Boy Scouts who used to sell firewood at the PA Farm Show as a fundraiser; the firewood was at a very good price and folks piled as much as they could in their pickups. Unfortunately for them, the PA State Police set up check points on all roads about a mile away from the event...

    How to measure high torque values?

    Mine only had ~ 60K on it when it was totaled; I’d have to scan a photo of what it looked like after it rolled into the ditch (surprisingly calm as I sat there waiting for things to stop spinning & rolling, and I was talking to 911 - hanging upside down - before the witnesses got to me).

    Not an issue (yet) on tractor times, but sealants are a no-no on TPS tires.

    How to measure high torque values?

    In 2WD (rear) on my S-10 Blazer there was a definite thunk when coasting downhill from the rear end: attributed to gear backlash/slop as this was an SUV/truck powertrain and not a passenger vehicle: never had any abnormal wear anywhere and after the FWD CV joint was replaced no problems (until I...

    Did you check the valve? I had a slow leak and fixed it by replacing the Shrader valve insert.

    How to measure high torque values?

    1986 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4WD with automatic/self-locking hubs: noticed a “thunking” in 4WH on wet roads. Split CV boot and damaged CV from factory.
