well I learned something new today I had no idea glass could move.Is there hard and soft glass? does one move easier than the other,or is plate glass all the same?
depending on where you are make sure you get one that has good power we have sycamore and hackberry,elm and some other hardwoods that are tuff to split cause the grain swirls thru the log. I have a splitter that is rated at 27 ton and splits it but it dont like it when it is around 12 inchs or so. But it is free to me so I use it and the above woods burn well,nice btu's.If all you have is like maple, oak, hickory they split easier.but I do not think I would fool around with aything rated less than 20 ton.
I have dug up old glass and seen the purplish color and I just thought that was the color it was blown or cast in.and the deformation I assume that excess heat causes this?
and got rid of that plastic fuel bowl, glass is so much easier to see the condition of the fuel that it contains.and glass does not care (i dont think) about uv rays
I remember on the old site 50c figure was given as a temp to start puttin around. like to get where you are going be fore putting the tractor to workin.I assume that is reasonable.
I do not know if this is a even near perfect way to tell if the engine is at a temp to start working it,but I grab the oil filter and feel how warm it is before I put some rpm to it.
well I still have a rubber fuel line in between the tank and the bowl that I wanted to get rid of but a ford filter for a 8n worked to the stock brackets just got a flare to barb fitting and cut off the banjo fitting on the outlet of the old fuel line.
makes me wonder how long the original chinese junk oil was in the crankcase,but it dont matter now.
Maybe there was some trash in the oil that made it to the oil hole in the crank that feeds the bearing .I sure hope not. that would be a crank and and bearings.have you tryed one of those mechanics stethoscope maybe you can narrow it down some.harbor freight has them cheap.
