The more power is produced at a power plant the more heat is produced by the system, the generator and transferred to the atmosphere and the poor guys like me who worked there. I had several occasions to make entries into the reactor containment building at power, temperatures were about 120 or more. Fortunately my stay would be aa half hour or less.

I put a different Schnacke recoil on my patina 1958 RJ today! i had Joe Papke replace a spring and stainless steel cable in my spare Schnacke recoil! This old motor with the Schancke starts on the first pull! I changed oil in the oil bath air cleaner and motor! Still smokes a bit but runs best of any Kohler I own! I also changed air filter in my 314-8 today! -

953s on the straight and narrow. part of my herd fighting over the right to be first on the trailer. -
Here it is running. Next up are oil/filter changes for the engine and transmission, and change the fuel lines and filter. Then I’ll button it up and put the loader back on and put it back to work! IMG_6029.mov

Fluid circulation? Over what distance? More info please! I know of many cities that pipe steam or hot water but I’ve not heard of this for air conditioning.

NY Waterways is the operator. The captain of the ferry on the right in this image was credited for coordinating the responses by a number of ferries from different companies. That’s the aircraft carrier Intrepid in the background with a recently delivered Concorde on a barge to the left. The twin towers are at the far left.

Ultimately the heat went back to the power plant where I worked south of Miami.

The rest of Florida ...

Where does it dump the heat?

I've made several pairs over the years using 3/8"-24 threaded rod with 3/8" ID steel tube over it. Also made them with heims. -

widen rear wheels

I've done this before just to see if I could- but will just spend the money next time on a wide set of wheels. It is alot of work. But yes I used a side grinder with cutoff wheels and a narrow strip of steel to align both sides when finished. I also used the tractor itself to both mark and cut the wheels. Just jacked up the rear and let the wheel spin in low range and don't try to cut much. Just let the grinder do what it does. The good thing was because of where my cuts were, the leftover parts make up some nice 6 inch wide spares. -

sqrlgtr replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
yeah, just repurposed old tie rods. Ive used the older ones that were not threaded on either end and some of the later ones that were already threaded on one end. Turn and thread to a left-hand thread so they are easily adjustable. Really helps when you want to center the steering wheel up also. -
