    Timberline Chain Sharpener

    Yep. I hit a few licks every other tank, and my chains stay sharp. If I really blunt the chain by hitting a rock or some metal in the wood, I'll take it to the Oregon sharpener to repair it. But I rarely need the Oregon anymore.

    Steel building : Magnets for TV antenna on roof...?

    This wins the "Best Answer" Award for today. (y) A decent Rohn self-supporting tower isn't hard to install and will do the job for you.

    B6000 Battery Charging Problem

    No. Your alternator makes AC, which gets rectified to DC, and the entire system is DC. You should not see any AC if everything is working correctly.

    Cleaning spilled dried coolant

    That source is talking about ethylene glycol. It is not talking about commercially available engine coolant. Have you ever heard of something called an, "additive"? Might have something to do with the color of antifreeze, come to think of it.

    Bugs in Fuel Line

    Mebbe this thread will point you in the right general direction. No need for the Orange brand - there might be an alternative out there.

    How big a generator do I need to run a Lincoln 220 stick welder.

    Wiring will be cheaper and give you a TON more options. Do it right, and cry once. Besides, you have a tractor. You should be able to figure out how to trench out to the shop and install conduit. Go bigger than you need. If you buy the cable and pull it yourself, install the panel, you...

    Daily Chuckle

    My wife paid 19 cents a pound for one, 99 cents for a second, and $1.99 for the Butterball. It helps if you know how to shop.

    Kubota 1550 HST

    Always start with the basics - check the fluid levels. We've all done dumb a time or two!

    Wood siding for new barn or something else?

    There is metal roofing that looks like wood, in a variety of finishes. Shake, shingle, etc. Lots of old barns were shingled. For me, I'd go with something non-flammable, like the steel products or cement fiber.

    Lazer Level

    I know better, and I still get that one wrong sometimes. 🥵 Well, you'd be right except for one small detail - the guys who invented it get to decide what it's called! So there! 😁 (Besides, it's not a word, it's an acronym, so all bets are off!) 👍

    SUDT replacement ?

    Got a Tractor Supply nearby? This thread is talking about UDT, but the same principles apply, and I think this info will be useful to you.

    Lazer Level

    Agreed. I have had the same problem trying to install a fence in daylight. It was pretty challenging, and the distance I was trying to use it at was under 10 feet. But Northwoods, it doesn't need to be mounted on a wall. A pole will do. Just make sure it can be undisturbed, and you REALLY...

    I have two questions for you: Have you never heard of the 13th Amendment? Do you still have the three wheeler? :p

    Portable Generator - - Voltage/Frequency Tolerances

    120v with slightly out of spec frequency variation is a lot better than 60v with perfect frequency! (y)
