Hi again 5030... I got 14 years out of the original battery in my '89 Toyota pickup which I attribute to the use of EDTA. The Tacoma I have now went nuts and smoked the factory battery last year. It's a 2010 so I got a lot of use (I feel due to EDTA) before the alternator/regulator went crazy...

Howdy! I intentionally ommited the scientific name for fear of scaring the younger generations 😯 When you eat anything that is processed (most everything) by machinery, you get a miniscule dose of EDTA added to the foodstuffs because microscopic bits of metal are constantly wearing off ... In...

I worked for the Navy for decades dealing with large flooded cell batteries - you can almost DOUBLE the life of a battery by using EDTA. It's able to dissolve the sulphate and return it to metalic lead. It works so well that BMW includes it in the electrolyte in their new motorcycle batteries...

The zip-ties fade in the sun and will completely oxidize and fall apart, the vinyl electrical marking tape seems to last much longer... maybe I'll paint them if any hobby shops still sell the little bottles of enamel.

Howdy Sir! I have TWO John Deere GT-235 garden tractors that I'll keep forever! They turn ALMOST as tight as a "zero turn" mower. The one with the Briggs & Stratton engine surges at idle and needs it's EPA approved jet enlarged slightly. The newer one has a Kawasaki engine and it's PERFECT...

An old trick to start larger electric motors is to run up a smaller (say 1hp) motor up to full speed and then switch the larger motor inline (parallel) to the running motor. The smaller motor will actually act as a generator for a second or two assisting the generator with the surge necessary to...

Guys... MMO is basically a thin lubricating oil (Like ATF) but includes Methyl Salicylate - That is "oil of wintergreen." That's the chewing-gum or "Life-Savers" smell you notice. Methyl Salicylate DISSOLVES ferrous rust. I'm an old Navy guy and 50 years ago our NASU engineering publication...
