    Alternating chain direction

    A lot of snowmobiles can reverse direction at a push of a button. It slows the engine then advances the timing to backfire the motor, once running backwards it works just fine.

    Keep one meter that get the line split to different services. Here if you have a separate meter you will have another monthly service fee.

    Splitter build. Done.

    Looks like some of the elbows are for water pluming. If they have a split seam they will not hold up hydraulic pressure. For a couple of dollars to put the right fittings in you may save yourself a hot oil bath. The rest looks like a great use of old metal.

    Farmall 460...cant get splitter to work, please help.

    Hyd. valve Make sure the valve on the splitter is set up for open center hydraulics. When the valve is in neutral oil should be flowing though the valve back to the tractor. If oil can't flow back it will have to flow thought the relieve valve heating up the oil.

    Farmall 460...cant get splitter to work, please help.

    460 hyd valve It's been a while but I think the old farmalls and a lever to choose between one-way cylinder and two way cylinders on the rear hyd. valve. Try to get a hold of a owner manual if you can.

    Ethanol wash problems

    Blender pumps are very well marked. A different colored hose is used for blends over E10. You have to push a button that has the amount of ethanol right on it, E20, E30, E50, and E85. http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2007/11/12/ethanolanniversary/

    Skid steer tires

    Test ride Take a test ride in a skid that has solid tires. Ride is quite rough, may want to think about a semi-solid tire. Something along this line. http://www.mclarenusa.com/nu-air/nu-air-semi-pneumatic-tires-for-skid-steer-loaders-and-backhoes.html

    Firewood Business

    net wrap You could use net wrap made for big round bales. Might cost a little more than plastic but would allow the wood to breath. These rolls are 48 inches wide but you may be able to find a similar thing in shorter sizes. http://www.ambraco.com/BaleBind.htm

The efficacy of grow corn has increased dramatically in the last 20 years as well as the ethanol plants them self are...

    Amount of alcohol in gas

    No water in alcohol Yes they remove all water from the grain alcohol in the US it call neat alcohol. But I wouldn't be surprised if the gasoline had more than .5% water in it. Brazil uses hydrous ethanol. They can get away with it because all gas has 22% alcohol. The higher alcohol content...
