Does my Tru Cut sound like it's running right?
Comments (6)Yes that is what i'm asking, does it sound like it's running right inclusive of the engine and two drive mechanisms. When i fist posted i thought the sound was coming from the drive shaft sticking out of the motor. Once I took off the chain guards it seemed to animate from the clutch mechanisms. At any rate I could take it apart but wouldn't know what to fix, so i guess I'll take to the hardware store Thanks for being a second set of ears....See MoreStarting my first setup, Does this sound like it will work?
Comments (42)My plan is as Urbangardenfarmer states. To remove the dome once a day to let fresh air to enter, and to remove it once the seedlings sprout. I got some sort of fungas growing on my lettuce, probably because of me overwatering. It killed the seedlings. They just kinda fell over I disinfected everything with a 1:3 bleach solution, and let it soak in nice and long. Then replanted everything to start again. Kind of sucks when I was hoping i'd have two weeks of growth by now, but live and learn right?...See MoreWhat kind of tree does this sound like?
Comments (4)Thuja occidentalis perhaps? Cryptomeria? Post a pic on 'name that plant' - we'll ID it for you. There are some fine conifers that will grow in your area, so please don't 'pine' too much for the hemlock....See MoreDoes this sound like sabotage to you?
Comments (6)It seems plausible to suspect sabatage, but there are other possible causes: The wheel, nuts applied backward (upside-down), acorn nuts, and improper nuts. The holes in the wheel could be worn out. Note that the holes in the wheel have cone shaped shoulders to match the cone shaped nose of the lug nuts. What is supposed to happen on tightening is the nut contacts the wheel before the nut the nut goes all the way down to end of thread or contact with the lug plate. Upon further tightening, the wheel flexes a bit (acting like a big, stiff spring washer, and the nut should go tight before the nose of the nut contacts the back plate or runs out of threads. What can happen is that someone gets too agressive with the impact wrench and stretches the metal around the holes in the wheels, especially when the hardness and strenght of the wheel is much less than that of the nut. Thereafter, the wheel can not be properly tightened because the nut runs out of thread or bottoms out before becoming tight enough against the cone shaped hole in the wheel. If these were used wheels purchased to dress up the vehicle, those may have had worn out holes, or had been flattened such that no spring action remained. Lug nuts have a tapered nose on one end. If these are the common variety of lug nuts with threads all the way through, the other end of the nut is flat. It is possible to put these on backward with the flat side toward the wheel, thus negating the locking feature. Nuts so applied are in danger of loosening. The tapered end of the nut goes against the tapered shoulder of the hole in the wheel. A third potential problem comes with acorn nuts, the type that has a closed end. These look great, but these must fit the wheel and lug combination. The nut must tighten againt the shoulder of the tapered hole before running out of threads. It is obvious by now that a common machine nut is a mis-application. If the nuts are flat on both sides, these are totally wrong. Back in the 'good ole days' it was thought that loosing a lug nut was more common on left wheels than the right when all nuts and studs used right-hand threads. This harks all the way back to horse drawn wagons and buggies where the wheels were held on with a single, large, square nuts. These nuts were not put on very tight, some not much more than hand tight. The nuts on the left side had left hand threads and the right side had right hand nuts. Forward motion of the wagon or buggy tended to tighten the nuts when the wheel thrust against a nut. All went well so long as the motion was always forward. It was possible to back a nut off if a wagon was moved backward for several rotations of the wheel, but this seldom happened with experienced wagoneers since they were aware of the problem. The driver did not want the nuts to be too tight because periodically, he needed to grease the simple axle bearing. To do this, he backed the nut almost all the way off, yanked the wheel outward to expose part of the spindle, apply a dollop of grease, pushed the wheel back and snugged the nut. If the nut was too tight, the driver might not be able to loosen the nut with the rudimentary wrench carried on the wagon. So much for history. Many cars up into the 1950s had left hand threads on lug nuts and studs. Usually, the stud had the letter "L" stamped on the end of the stud. Most "grease monkeys" and "flat fixers" knew to look for the left-hand mark before applying the impact wrench. (Flats were common with inner tubes.) But in my lifetime, I did spot a couple of novices who did not know or understand about left hand threads. These guys would attempt to remove lug nuts with the air wrench set for L-H rotation, and when nothing moved, they'd jack up the torque until somehthing did move....See MoreSeabornman
