    AS they say, there's more than one way of skinning cats. Looks like that also holds true for shallow trenches. Now to figure out the best way to fill them in when no longer needed.

    Everything Attachments says on Fb they are back

    It's the game if game is what it's called. The "game" allows people to go through live without taking full responsibility for their actions. How many repeat criminal offenders can you name that paid attorneys for defending them? Were I to start life over with knowledge I've gained in this...

    Everything Attachments says on Fb they are back

    Bankruptcies are often nothing more than glorified stealing. No company should ever be allowed to reorganize and start over until past debts and obligations are paid off. An air conditioning contractor was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to install equipment in our church. He filed...

    M7040 Compressor Failure?

    Please forgive me, I didn't recognize the switch amongst parts and mistook metal lines in background as a lawn chair. But you did say everything and that would include switch and metal line it screws into. Glad you have everything under control. (y)

    M7040 Compressor Failure?

    Several wags have been made so another shouldn't hurt. I suggest you either test and confirm that pressure switch is good or simply replace it if cost is reasonable. System must be dry of refrigerant before replacing switch so best do it now than later if it's bad. My reasoning is that...

    Help please! My L47 ran out of fuel (I think) and now it’s acting like the battery is dead!

    Things can look good when in fact they can be corroded and not visible. That is the only way of finding the problem because there's 20 possibilities.

    M7040 bubbles from radiator

    First off I'll say that overheating in a diesel can be catastrophic so proceed with caution and understand what you see and do. It isn't unusual for steam and water to erupt from radiator if cap is removed while at operating temperature. I suggest making sure radiator AND AC CONDENSER fins...

    Is this a “Never Ending Battle”??????

    Some times an encounter with the right party can teach these experts to keep their trap closed. Many years ago a box truck hit a power pole in the alley where I worked. There was sparks and smoke 50 yards in all directions from truck and 30 feet in air. Understandably the driver was freaking...

    Battery Replacement

    Just to give you one more thing to worry about, accidently causing a short when wrench bridges between post and metal causes as many explosions and fires as hooking cables backwards. One poor fella had wrench against gold watch band when band made contact with metal. People used to wear...
