I'm not an expert at anything, but I have a way of figuring things out.
When I was in school I was a B student and I couldn't tell you how many times "right answer, wrong method" was written on my assignments.
My channel will be about projects I do and the process I go through from start to finish.
If you are looking for expert advice, this is the wrong channel. I promise I will be making mistakes along the way, but in the end I usually get the job done right. Well more like "right-ish"
Help me along the way with constructive comments.

Great video and very nice work sir!🇺🇸
Thank you
Enjoyed your candidness while replacing the pump. Don't care for content people that try to act like everything is so simple in how to repair something. I always run into unexpected issues as you did and you simply shared your resolution.
You get less maximum out put power on propane compared to gas You don't believe me just look up what the new dual fuel generators say in their brochures instructions sheets etc
The reason I went with a tri-fuel carb is gas goes bad where as propane lasts much longer and it's nice to have options
Was that a saddle stich
Yes
I've just got an 86rv/van. Ineed all the videos I can watch. But i dont understand why it has four hoses coming off that fuel pump
@@Jamie-ju5zb what make and model?
1. Fuel to Engine. 2. Fuel Return to the tank. 3. Breather hose going to the filler neck. 4. Vent to Charcoal Canister.
Is the barb fitting on the carb threaded into the carb? If so, it would be nice to unscrew the barb and change it to the common threaded connection.
In many cases I would agree with you. In this case (low cost & high vibration) I don't mind a barb fitting as long as you use a constant tension clamp to account for temp variations. Just my opinion.
Note, please, that when you open the valve on the tank, you open it VERY slowly. If you open the valve to fast, you might trigger some form of Overflow Prevention Device.
Yo hice ese mismo cambio con un carburador similar en la parte de arriba del regulador de gas del carburador hay una llave que dice gas lp y gas natural hay que seleccionar el correcto, yo uso un regulador de gas de baja presión y 0.8 metro cúbico por hora y 0.4 psi y funciona perfectamente. Ojo pierdes un 20 o 30 % de potencia
Gracias por tu contribución. La mayoría de estos kits/carburadores son tricombustibles. Gasolina, Propano y Gas Natural. Olvidé mencionar la posibilidad de cambiar a gas natural, así que gracias por mencionarlo.
I have a 2016 Ram 2500. My part number for the washer motor is 68081805AB. The part number for the grommet is 5152030AA.
My drivers side handle has been beoken for years. Im lookong forward to doing this method. Thanks to you and the other guy!
I used a NASH 3 fuel kit. Think it cost me like $140 back when I bought it, like 10 years ago. Worked like a charm. IMO, these are a must if you want options.
Agree
not for minors? rather teens mess around with concrete rather than drugs 😂
Learning a trade can be life-changing
I was going to say your hurting my back just watching you pick that up there never light a steel rod welded on bottom with solid tires💯💪👍✌️😉
As I get older I can't lift as much as I used to, which makes my back very happy
Wow! I really like this idea and may copy it to an extent for something for my old White lawn tractor. I find I need to haul my old Stihl trimmer down to the edge of my property to cut down the ditch and it is a pain to cut the yard with the tractor, park the tractor and walk to the workshop to get my trimmer and walk all the way down to the ditch where I just mowed near to trim it. I thought if it can be done on a zero turn, why couldn’t it work on a lawn tractor? And then, I found your video and was inspired!
I find that I do a better job when I don't have to hand carry the trimmer or go back and get the trimmer.
You are one of the few people that I have seen with the Mud Mixer that produces a reasonably stiff mix. You did the stairs in a nice organized manner. I am old school and like sand, gravel, cement and water in a Multiquip mixer - but when my age creeps up I will be getting a mud mixer - but for the moment I just hate bagged mix.
So is it worth 4000 dollars? I have been looking into getting one and would like an honest opinion. Is it really worth buying ?
For me it was. The price was the hardest thing for me to get past. It made sense to me because, I have a number of concrete projects and I'm at the age (63) that using my tractor PTO mixer was getting to be just too difficult. So the Mudmixer has worked out great for me. So far I poured the caissons for my solar system, about 80 feet of sidewalk and a set of stairs. This summer I'm planning a retaining wall and at least another 60 feet of sidewalk. Here is a video on my decision process: czcams.com/video/Fr9EExOkMUA/video.html
Can’t wait to get one
I took mine out and cleaned it two years ago. Now I'm doing it again, Does that sound about right?
It depends on your fuel source and how long it sets unused. I try to run the fuel level down below 1/4 tank then I fill it up. Every time I fill I treat the fuel with (Kill Em) which is a diesel fuel biocide which will kill the stuff that grows in diesel.. So far so good
Thanks. I’ll look into getting some
Ended up getting something at John Deere. A little safer than kill ‘em. Mix one ounce per 10 gallons. Getting too old to keep laying under my tractor.
I just bought a mudmixer too. You are lucky to have a wife to help you. Take care.
After a few pours, I was able to work solo, but yes she really hekped me figure out how to use it.
Thanks for bring us along for the (learning) journey.
I haven't used mine yet, but being on a well myself, I figured I'd be having the same issue that you described. I'm planning on taking one of the old 30 gallon poly tanks I have on my farm and connecting a stock tank high level shutoff valve at one end and a 12v water pump at the outlet and possible connecting a pressure regulator after the pump if necessary. It will be similar to the backup (50 gal) water system that I built for my house for power outages.... which works great. The tank gives consistent/steady flow and the pump gives consistent/steady pressure and the shutoff valve ensures that the tank is always full.
sounds great, keep us posted on how it works
I just bought one a couple of months ago for all the same reasons as you. I'm 65 and every year I buy more equipment to help me get back to doing the things that I had stopped doing because it was no longer "fun" doing the sort of projects that I'd been doing for practically my entire life. Another reason is because I can either spend my money on toys to help me stay busy, or hang onto it so that the lawyers, doctors, and taxman will eventually take possession of it when I'm gone.
I fully understand. We have an auction company out here and when I pass they are to be contacted. From going to numerous of their auctions, If the tools are good quality, they will sell at pretty good prices.
Just pull the door panel lmao now you have a big hole in your door
my only concern with pulling door panels s the age of the plastic and parts breaking
Thank you sir this was very interesting 😊
This video was a Great Find for me! I'm grateful to you for making it! My saw is a 11327521 model; I'm guessing its from either the late 50s or early to mid 60s? Info on this has been sorta hard for me to sift through. At any rate, I am 68 yrs. old, and I'm thinking my saw and I are about the same age. The saw I have has what appears to be the same fence as yours, and nearly the same "Built like a Tank" motor. Do these motors have an oil port at each end for the bearings? I bought my saw for $40 a few weeks ago. It was missing a few parts (table insert, belt, & fence), and I had planned to put the cast iron extension wings on my newer" early 80s Craftsman saw, and scap the old saw and base. After messing around with the older saw, and seeing how well built it is, the newer saw is now on craigslist. Thanks again for the video and story within it!
Just what I needed too. Thank you so much.
Put an accumulator in series right next to your well bore.
I came looking for info on adjusting the speed or drag of the Grinder. Specifically what that adjustment screw does on the back of the tool. I guess I'll have to dig all the literature out and read it. Hope you got a replacement from Amazon w/o any hassle.
Yes, they sent me a replacement
Great video / thanks for taking the time / my next job / please make more 🙏
We have owned 2 AWD Astro vans and still have 1. As for the AWD, I found / find they are the best show vehicles ever. I have owned big 4x4s, F250 x-cab, Broncos 4x4s, full-size 4x4 van, and more, and find the AWD astro outperforms them all. If they still made them, I'd buy another. The only thing I hate about them is, working on / repairing them, is a real pain. If you work on them yourself be ready for a long day, if you take it to be fixed, be ready to dig deep.
The way you fix it is replacing the Astro. Lol. Just kidding, I'm on my 5th. I just keep replaving parts. Lol. I've never had it to a Chevy dealership. Lol 🎉
Just replaced the fuel pump and the crankshaft positioning sensor (again).
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is exactly what happened to my John Deere 190C about a week ago. Only difference is it didn't shut my engine down. So I've been using the tractor for projects other than mowing since then. And meanwhile been checking every switch and fuse and relay in the whole system. Thought I'd narrowed the problem down to a bad PTO clutch, which I'd been dreading from the time the blades suddenly quit spinning. I don't know how many videos I've watched on how to diagnose and replace a PTO, so I wasn't dreading the work. I was dreading PAYing for a new PTO! lol! And this is the only video I've seen showing this exact problem. So I promptly took a quick look see underneath and sho nuff, the hot wire was hanging by 2 tiny strands right at the connector. So I jumped power to the PTO and it's fine. Oh what a relief! I'll probably repair mine the same way you did because I don't even know how to do a search for the original little doo dad piece of metal with the tang on it... or even what to call it. But if anybody here knows what to ask for and who to ask, please post it here. A whole box of those things can't be too terribly expensive. And thanks in advance to anyone who knows.
What psi regulator works? Thanks!
Just one of those RV regulators for a garden hose. The regulator in this application is just for consistency.
@@LetsFigureThisOut No specific psi recommendation? I am about to buy a 30 psi. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing.
Time to relocate it. LOL
I can't believe I forgot that I had changed it once before.
Are you selling the wood pieces to hold the baseball. I have the same engraver and am trying to do the same as you but for the whole little league team and need a hole lol
I don't sell them, but if you send me a email with your address I send you a set for free. Havasim047@gmail.com
Looks ok for a cheapy..Their ad says It has RCA input jacks for ''Features 1 RCA audio input for tuner, CD player, tape deck,'' They DON'T mention a TV, but I assume it will work????..May I suggest you try playing with the bass,treble in your demos so we get an idea of range??...Thank you!
I now have 3 Pyle units I keep in various locations. My hearing at 63 is not that great and the locations are all work locations with lots of hard surfaces so again the Pyle units are good enough.
2 slump very strong 😀
Just got back from my southern location today and I inspected all of last years concrete to see how it looks after winter, and NO CRACKS!!!!!. I was very happy
We mixed 952 bags of concrete thru our MudMixer last summer. We have the same issues. Tried a pressure regulator. Didn’t help. Complained to MudMixer. They sent out replacement valve and solenoid. That didn’t fix the problem either. Like you said, it will be coming out just perfect, then suddenly it turns to soup. Love the machine and I consider this a minor issue, but would sure like to figure out what causes it. 🤷♂️
I've learned to keep an eye on it and as long as it doesn't get too out of control it'll be fine
Try a hose T with a pressure gauge, then you can see what's happening in real time: "what gets measured gets managed"
My wife and I poured 952 bags of concrete with our MudMixer last summer. Large parking pad. Did it in 4’x12’ section each day till we were done.
I'm just getting back from my southern location and I can't wait to finish my sidewalks
Is it safe to use it?
WD40 is very safe
What spark plug you used and I am going to get one for the weed Wacker
I had a datson that would just stop running very randomly. It was always the distributor cap. Just kept one in the tire well to swap. the underside looked like a plasma discharge etched into the cap.
Yes, those carbon tracks can be a problem. FYI, I use to have a 240Z
I’m glad I came across your video. I need to replace my window crank as well. Where did you find the crank assembly?
There are a number of sites that offer them for sale. Just search "RV Window Crank Assy". That will also show more videos on the subject.
I wondered if I would ever hear about this problem. It seems to me the water ratio would be very difficult for getting perfect slump constantl . i think an adjustable regulator is a must else have problems with the concrete slump. I looked the parts blowup at their website. Maybe the solenoid #15 functions as a flow regulator. Im thinking it needs a diaphragm regulator.
Since I'm on a well and I connect before the water pressure regulator, so I installed a regulator at the water riser and that has helped.
And their about to up the cost of this thing, and still no powder coat. No Bueno . . .
I was a Cold War vet. Doesn't mean much but volunteering after watch returning Vietnam Vets get spit on was important to me. Having said that, as a former Aerospace Designer, there are parts I would powder coat, but the main tube, I would hard anodize or make out of stainless steel. Since they didn't, I now coat mine with Fluid Film.
