Amazing how these posts get off track to many side issues. Normally I do not bite on these side issues like; evolving a question about DC cable sizing to now we are scrapping out wiring from old cars.
Scrapping out insulated wiring can be lucrative if you are set up with a stripping machine...
Been doing my BX 25 since new (2011). Approx 1600 hrs on it now and due. Too cold and rainy as I do not have garage room for it, may wait till spring. I have never used Kubota fluids and filters. I get all my supplies at NAPA. Get a real close equivalent to K transmission fluid and use DELO...
Don't think of it, not worth the set up cost. Just have an extra set of bottles (cylinders).Where I am, there is no filling of your cylinder, exchange only.

Ask your steel supplier about "Ship Channel", "Deep Channel" or "Wide Flange Channel". All terms I have heard used but never used myself. I will ask at my supplier next visit. May find something their you can use/adapt to your project. Making it from flat barbe sure to step weld to reduce...
People tend to do dumb things sometimes. The laws of physics and mechanics always prevail. Heavy trailers behind small towing units always are "the tail wagging the dog". I tried once but weight distribution made for a scary situation with my BX, luckily it was a short distance. I found a...
Yea, keep them out of the passing lanes, acceleration to pass a few cars or that other truck uses more fuel than many miles traveled. Trucks in the third lane from the right on a four- lane road are always over the posted speed limit.

Don't have time to read the whole post but here is my two cents. Learned this during my Navy service with break bulk shipping loading and managing over the road truck hauling.
The key goal is to tie loads down, so they become integral with the platform. Especially heavy loads, (more critical...
Accident going somewhere to happen; but, as a welder in my own right (certified years ago), with all the other issues; no stump jumper, previous weld, no shields!
Time to either find a good used one or a new replacement depending on pocketbook.

Just thought of something relative to your hospital job. Always wondered if those large O2 storage tanks were LOX or O2 gas only. The ones at military air bases are LOX at gas pressure.

That would be interesting. During and before WWII Linde was headquartered in France as Liquide Aire, they were world- wide. They are now a US corporation having gone through several acquisitions and reforming over the years. All Praxair stores are now renamed Linde. They own Air Gas but have...
Bought my BX in 2011 and have maintained the Kubota KTAC insurance since. Now has 1600 hours on it. Several years after buying working on forest trails I dropped a large limb on the hood and instrument panel. UNK to me that little plastic tyransmission fan had been chewed up somewhere during...
I buy and sell used welding equipment using Craig's List to buy and sell plus buying at auctions and yard sales. Air Gas is owned by Linde who has now changed the name of their Praxair stores to Linde. I almost exclusively use a local welding supplier that has their own refill plant. My...
