    Drain valve for a rain barrel

    I agree 100% I NEVER had a uniseal leak. The contour of a 55 gallon plastic barrel doesn't bother them a bit. for 55 gal barrels I use: 1-1/2" PVC pipe 1-1/2" uniseal 1-1/2" pvc ball valve 1-1/2" Uniseal requires a 2-1/2" hole saw

    Halifax Nova Scotia Dealership - Re-stocking fee

    I agree. Selling the tractor IS kind of silly. If your selling it as a statement, Nobody cares... However, I DO think it's Bullsh*t that they charged a "restocking" fee for cancelling an order... If he received the part and then returned it the next day.... THATS another kettle of fish.

    Can't reattach backhoe to BX23S

    I would check the hydraulic filter screen ..... sometimes sh*t happens for no reason. either that or the pump gave up the ghost. as far as reconnecting the lines, make sure the backhoe has not sagged.... if so, crack the fitting with a wrench to release pressure. this will allow you to...

    Not something I would need but very nice job. Bravo. Curious... IF you needed the 3rd function hoses for a grapple or something else.... How would you handle that? A diverter valve? anyway, looks good.
