    Stone dust for traction on ice

    I think it will work, I use North Thompson River sand, well, what I do is in the fall when the water level is low, I take 5 gallon buckets and a shovel down to the sand bar, load up a few, bring them home, then use it on my icy gravel driveway. As long as the ice is not to hard, it works...

    I saw a video recently on Facebook where someone was pulling a tire through a culvert. I assume to clean it. I would be curious if that could scrap out some debris. I would want to tie a trailing rope to the tire in case it needed to be pulled back out the way it went in? Woops, just realized...

    Hydraulic Spool Valve Repair

    Is your FEL a Blackhawk? My valve started to be troublesome a few months ago. It is a 2 spool with float detent. I believe it is a Cessna Valve. I attribute it not working because of wear, but perhaps one should take it apart and see if O/rings are in there?

    Miller Multimatic 215 / How new are they? Anyone have one?

    I have read Sodo's post on MillerMatic 200, because I was at the Tool Store today and looked through the welders. I am trying to justify the $1700 CDN on a Multimatic 215, or the Miller Matic 200 @ $1500.00 CDN I grabbed a brochure and it calls the MultiMatic 215 "new". I would like to be able...

    Can someone explain how the CP302 Miller MIG Power source controls Amperage?

    Like probably most MIG Power sources, I am wondering how the user chooses the welding amperage? I see a single control on the CP302 Miller for voltage control, I have a Miller Xtreme 12VS wire feeder, which has a control for wire speed, but I don't understand how you choose the amperage? ( if...
