There's a U-Tuber named Cole The Cornstar. His farm got hit hard by this storm. If you check his latest upload he shows some videos of their place and the surrounding area including that grain storage coop in the pic. above. Looks bad. Thoughts and for all affected.

Sure. But by the time you get here I'll have to make another beer run

Never saw anything on the news back here about it. I guess these kind of disasters are not worth reporting these days. It's not often you see a line tower blown over like that. And those grain bins.......WOW. I wish you all well out there.

Nope, just enough to make it through the week

Would make a good beer runner......

When I put all new lines on mine I gravity bled until fluid was running out of all bleeders and then did the one man method since I usually don't have help. Same as GT but no helper. I found that gravity bleeding alone was not enough to get a firm pedal so finished it off with a few pumps.

And some say I'm confusing......

I've had 2 100's. The first one I bought new from the original owner that never installed it. After a while it developed a leak caused by one of the mounting holes being tapped too deep. I couldn't get warranty because I was not the original purchaser and the card was never sent in but they sold me a replacement at cost. I took the deal and fixed the old one for a spare in case I ever needed it. It's been collecting dust on the shelf for probably 8-9 years now...... never needed it. I've had zero issues with either one other than that and my PSI drop is well within spec.

If I use this mysterious chicken grease on my turbo bearings will it whistle like a Ford? Or just squaak and lay an egg?

What's a muffler?

I love the way we always manage to run off the tracks around here . This thread started with the coronavirus and ended up with the avian flu Well, not exactly. I like the side of the box..... the 'stiff' snack cracker

I prefer chicken in a basket over chicken in a casket

I didn't build it, but my understanding is if packed tight enough it would tend to bend and not kink if you'd hit something. Kind of like filling copper tubing with sand so you can make nice bends without kinking it. Would make it easier to straighten out, and of course add some weight. With drill pipe bending probably isn't a concern though

With 600' of drill pipe you can try a lot of ideas, and then try again . My '67 c20 had a tube bumper filled with sand. I liked that bumper. It was 2 4" tubes ran in parallel across the front with about 3" or so space between. Then bent back slightly around the corners and capped. The front had a u shaped loop that served as the grill guard. I'll have to see if I have a picture somewhere.

I have a vac bleeder but rarley use it for brakes anymore. Seems the hose is forever falling off when I don't want it too. I'm not sure which article you looked at but I either do the two man method as you described (although I NEVER pump the pedal, only an even push to a 2x4 on the floor board) or the one man method M1973M likes. What made a difference for me was to take the bleeder screw out and put never-sieze on the threads to seal them so you don't draw air in through them. Then one end of the hose on the bleeder and the other end in a jar of your choice. Just make sure that end STAYS submersed in fluid. Now slowly push the pedal down, hold for a second and slowly let it up. I use this method on all my vehicles with great results. The only thing I think would be better is a pressure bleeder from what I read, but I've never bought one. Good luck.

Cover up that pecker

I don't see a U-Tube channel for him. From 3000 miles away that's the only way I can ride along .

So true. I turned off mainstream TV long ago. A movie every now and then and You Tube vids. are about all I'll watch. I almost hate to admit it but I am getting addicted to these guys and the like. https://www.countryrepairtowing.com/ Are those chickens?

That might be the issue. Not sure

got it

There was quite the discussion about thermostats on here a while ago. A number of guys having wild temp swings as more and more name brand parts are being made in China. Yours sounds normal to me too. Mine will usually go to 200-202 and then open up and fall back to 188 and then kind of stabilize around 190-198. A 10 degree swing isn't bad. Just curious, what brand stat did you get?

Have you checked the wiring diagrams in the articles section?

You called?
