My Chinese 16HP vertical shaft ride-on engine has been running well since it was installed about four years ago. I think the brand is Loncin. Recently it began 'surging', in that the RPM would fluctuate almost from idle to max RPM, or so it seemed. Eventually, after a relatively short time, the...

To J-J and wdchyd My apologies in not replying. I'm not very computer-savvy and I've just installed a new computer, which is quite different from the older one, so I'm back on the learning curve once again, where I've been since last December! I eventually solved the hydraulic pump problem, with...

My re-engined, Honda harmony HDA2113 is showing its age, certainly, but the engine isn't all that old ( 2 years) and I have replaced the deck bearings not long ago. So it's ready for another life, except that the transmission packed up not long since. I understand the transmission is made by...

I have an Oriental hydraulic lift table, rated for around 400-pound lift. Recently, the thing refused to lift. It's one of those 'el cheapo' types. I have another, pretty much the same, and it's quite OK., and years older. So the idea is proven. The 400lb job is one of those integral hand...

For all those whose input has helped me get my TV cameras up and running: Thank you! Note that the 'final solution' was to use CAT5 cable with NO baluns whatsoever and NO co-axial cable at all. Other things: For some time, I've been trying, with a very small amount of help from some destructions...

Interesting to read all the wood splitter ideas. I had intended to make one myself, but I was able to source a 40-tonner, with a 13HP engine, for $A1400, delivered. That's quite a bit less than the cost of the parts. While you blokes in the US might say that 40 tons could be a bit of an...

I'm in the process of fixing up my driveway/road - the LED lights for which I've sorted out, thanks to Tractor By Net, but the gate TV is giving problems. I have a 100m (330ft) RG6 co-ax cable run and my 'setup' doesn't seem to like a run quite as long. Everything works well (camera, monitor...

G'day! I've a project using low-voltage LED's. I've bought a few as samples/tests and so far, none has lasted longer than 170 hours. From my reading, it seems that's about a tenth of what can or should be, expected. The LED's aren't used in a vehicle, but on a farm road, so there's no vibration...

I have a heavy (about 2/3 ton empty) tipping trailer which I use fairly regularly behind my tractor and that's OK. Recently, however, I changed my usual vehicle from a pickup to a sedan-type and I plan to tow the trailer behind the sedan, on the road. Being a tipper, the trailer has a pretty...

G'day! I have an Iseki 22HP., which had an underbelly mower which broke in a big, expensive way. The driveline to the deck gearbox was completely shot and replacement parts started at around $A2500. The future of what is otherwise a very good deck, was looking decidedly temporary. It sort of...
