I've a diesel tractor, 24 engine HP. How many HP can I expect at the pto?

I actually checked, it is 12 gauge, not 16 and has a 15 amp reset-able breaker integral, plenty for the shop vac and miter saw. Any device with a heavy load, gets its' own outlet right at the device (like a window A/C or fridge/stove/compressor,/ect.)

Not if the volume and pressure is suddenly more than the cap can vent. An engine simply over heating slowly rises in pressure and once exceeding the cap design, starts to bleed off. A sudden sharp increase may well of exceeded the caps ability. Imagine a full cylinders pressure suddenly being...

I recently got a wall mount retracting extension cord.16 Ba wire, 15 am integral breaker, a led to show powered. Un-spools nice, easily retracts, no need top 'feed it'. Swings/pivots good. Easy mount (a separate bracket gets attached to the wall/ceiling then the 're-tractor' slides in and a...

Hot fluid should blow out the overflow of the cap, sudden excessive pressure tells me you have a head gasket or a cracked head issue. You can get 'combustion test strips' from an auto parts store to verify combustion gases are present.

I've removed the cap on my tractor and several times, found perhaps a quarter teaspoon of condensation in it. That's just the fill cap and what I saw that day. No telling own many drops had formed and dripped in to the tank.. Humidity here is such that puddles form even after a month of no rain...

Vevor.. hit or miss on quality. Cheap cost, sometimes you get a good deal, sometimes you get what you paid for. Just keep your expectations realistic., Fuel filtration. Kind of a no-brainer. Excess filtration is 100X better than inadequate. An extra filter between the dinosaurs and the...

333 amps.... max draw for your converter, and that is not considering inefficiencies. You are not going to get that big an alternator. You need to go a PTO genset and run the tractor.

While the paranoia of diesel in my gas machines, gas in my diesel machines looms and keeps me awake at night, more terrifying is straight gas in a two stroke. Oh well.

I'd go non-turbo, one less part to go bad. Most diesels are designed to run at rated output, basically forever No need to have 'headroom' especially for your use where you know you could not ever accidentally over load the engine for any extended period of time; One big ass power washer.....

Sort of similar. Yesterday, I was felling a few trees. Hot!. Caps on the ends of my loppers kept falling off, so I decided to stick them in my pockets and glue on later. So I was kind of keeping an eye on the ground. Found a new 1" snap ring... what is it from???

On my 'not Orange' mower, the pins vertically are a loosey-goosey fit. Tight would require greasing and some method of keeping grit out. A loose fit, while it will wear (a little), does not need greasing and will not retain grit. Kind of dumb for them to not be like casters and roll in the...

While my rig may not be what you want, the basic concept (a good sized tank, a pump of some sort and a nozzle that shuts off) is golden. Being able to fill a tank, just like you'd fill your car at a gas station is the way to go. Easy, no lifting and no spilling. For those still fighting with...

Maybe he was skinny? Really ratty Bronco. If I were to venture a guess (and I will, I will) Driving at a very high rate of speed, rusted out vehicle and a lot of booze combined.

The BX25D came standard with a BH. It has a wacky seat that lifts up vertically, rotates and then sits back down facing the rear of the tractor to enable operation of the backhoe. When facing forward, you can unhook the rear of the seat and tilt it (flip) forward as well. I'm amazed it is as...
