After another failure, replaced the gear drive with a triple belt. Thought about a polychain setup but seemed like the main advantage of belt drive is give which the poly doesn't have and I think the tension is higher so more side load. Last belt drive I had the belts would last for years...
Another gear drive failure!! Water stops spraying, engine running, walk to machine and see pump FALLEN off gear drive. Let me tell you its a bad moment when you see your pump like that.

I have covered parking, the corrugated metal type, with peeling paint under the canopy. I have done this work before and it didn't go well - loose paint flew off immediately, then more paint was loosened, then it got tedious and a lot of paint wouldn't budge in the end, paint and water raining...
Found a machine shop with a very cool owner to fabricate some parts - center pieces and 'elbows' for the nozzles. I had the mosmatic with the screw in bars which are metric sized and brass elbows - they come plated and look like steel, the person at mosmatic told me they were stainless and I...
Surprisingly Texas has had nothing going for state sovereignty regarding obamacare. Mere hours after the vote here comes Texas
This Act will declare that the public policy of the State of Texas is to exercise sovereign power providing for the rights of Texas residents to choose their own...
Do you listen to music while you work, especially flatwork - long hours. These cheap headphones are the best I've tried, they go right under ear muffs.
The heads on my water cooled Kohler run about 190 - 200 deg, the oil filter reads about 10 deg hotter. The old 170 deg thermostat has now been changed to a 190 by kohler. Wondering what air cooleds run at?
[W]hoever desires liberty, should understand these vital facts, viz.:
1. That every man who puts money into the hands of a "government" (so called) puts into its hands a sword which will be used against himself, to extort more money from him, and also to keep him in subjection to its...
This stuff Is great. I have not used the taginator but this works as well or better than the most noxious solvent remover that used to be my goto chem. It's thick and oily and really goes far, and doesn't evaporate so you put it on and it stays and works. It's about $65 a gallon but thats...
I'm not sure of the exact failure but engine overheated and head gasket blew - antifreeze all in the oil a real disaster. Took engine apart and had a valve job done while the heads were off. Of course there are no parts to be had here so my good friend Mr Cooney got the parts in Phoenix and put...
Kohler labels their engines by max horsepower, but the recommended horsepower is less, I'm guessing the other makers do also. I don't like it, they should rate the engine at the horsepower it supposed t run at but should this factor into the selection based on the pump requirement? If you figure...
Shortly after I started posting some video on YouTube Last year someone subscribed to my channel?? Supergaboy has subscribed to your channel?? Please I thought, let it be super-Georgia_boy. Nope, Supergaboy, not moderately-bi-guy or sortofcuriosdude. Huh? I look at his channel and it is all BOOT...
Are there any reasons not to plumb the pressure side of the pump with sched 80 and eliminate hoses? "the guy" at General pump said you should use flexible hose for the supply so it could flex with the pulsations or something.
I am looking for 1/4" pipe thread-sized elbows for the spray tips on my surface cleaner. I don't know the sizes the different brands use, I am replacing mosmatic metric straight threaded bars which are about the size of 1/4", and snap right at the thread. Or some other fitting that would work, I...

It sure is easy to spend money when it is not your own. How charitable of Obama to donate $100 million of other people’s money. But shouldn’t America do something to help Haiti? No, America shouldn’t do anything. This $100 million comes...
