Pretty heavy duty. Bad weld cause failure? Looks like it could use a bigger engine and pump for the size of the cylinder.

Looks good. I would weld a washer on the end of the bolt with a nut welded on to the washer. That way you could thread it in a few turns and clean up any boogers on the threads from drilling. The washer trick works better than a nut anyway. Easier to get a good weld than through a nut.

Depends if the bolt has threads all the way up to the head that broke off. Take another bolt out to see.

Thanks. You have it in Florida?

51 overnight. 26 now and dropping. Winds with gusts up to 70 mph. Lots of dead ash blowing over. Saw a power pole with a transformer on it snapped off half way up. Got my generator running yesterday. Surged a little. Drained out the 2 gallons that was in it and put in fresh gas. Good...

Are you allergic? When I was there I asked if there was poison ivy. Was told no. What is it called?

Fast Orange has worked for me without scrubbing. I am pretty allergic. Pumice in it might be doing the scrubbing. I think the oil is pretty easy to get rid of. Getting it off in time is important. My son weed wacks and lawn mows it and he is not immune. Wears shorts a lot too. I'll have...

Fels Naptha laundry soap is the old standby. Fast Orange is good. Anything that cuts grease and oil. Wouldn't hurt to have it right on the job site and wash every hour if you are very allergic. Pretty miserable stuff.

Wash within an hour, preferably less. I have not got it in years doing it that way. Other than my sisters friendly dog rubbing it on me.

They claim American Indians used to do that. Also read you can get it in your throat. Scary.

If you are fairly allergic even dead vines and the hair left on the wood after you pull the vine off are still potent. I have heard some people can just get close to it and get it. Doesn't sound reasonable to me. I know burning it is not good. I know I have got some blisters from handling...

Up and down like a yo yo. Pushing 60 Thursday. 25 yesterday.

Wasn't it growling for a while?

My neighbor to the north a bit over 1/4 mile has a horse barn in line with my house. They put up a led outside light that was on all the time that looked liked the rising sun to me. I like to look at the night sky, northern lights, comets, etc. I finally found the right time to mention it...

Maybe just cutting the overhanging forks off would be enough?
