My problem is to remember to shut it off. I was thinking about trying the vacuum ones...

Looks like a Briggs and Stratton . I buy the inline shut off valves in a bag of ten because I have had that gas tank drained into the crankcase problem a lot.

It was nice to hear that it was a success . It is nice to not have to clean a carb by flashlight or siphon gas from tractors and mowers because of poor planning when you are surprised with a outage .

This is what I use to make sure it was greased with out removing the seal. Amazon.com: Plews 5-37 Grease Injector Needle: Automotive

I just went through a like problem.Mine is a Woods 6180 with a 18 hp Briggs vanguard horizontal shaft . Starts good and idled fine, Five minutes into mowing it would start pulsing the rpms up and down . Changed filter with no luck, changed the fuel pump with no luck, left the fuel tank cap loose...

Sounds like head gasket has let go from cylinder to one of the oil gallery's . That would explain low power ,pressure in the valve cover and oil on the plug . The last two I did on older machines it looked like they decayed or had termites , chemical reaction between the two metals .

As much electrical problems as you have had I would remove the shroud from the flywheel and un plug both kill wires from the coils , replace the shroud and test . They used a diode in each coil kill wire before they joined them together then into the harness, when good this only let the...

I had a HOYT-CLAGWELL , mine was re-badged as a JINMA from Rural King , Is it possible one cylinder is not firing and pushing un-burnt fuel into the exhaust being lit from the good cylinder , only detectable as a backfire sound at a idle . No more then you get to use it you would not have a feel...

I should order some for the next project, but I get excited and can not wait and once I make a orifice I do not need one . the smaller the engine the more critical the adjustment is . I will probably order a box full from China on aliexpress.com.

Pictures of the 1964 Cub Loboy converted to propane . You can see the homemade orifice I made from a piece of rubber hose and inserted into the vapor feed line, the full 3/8 red rubber line would not even try to start the engine, the next orifice I cut was to small and would only idle , then...

The freeze up problem I have is the 20 pound tank . On a humid day in the shade mowing the tank will get a 1/8 inch of frost and start loosing power until I go out into the sun ,then it melts and all is good again. It is a Toro GM72 , with the Renault 4 cylinder engine 839 cc . I have it set up...

Most places that have the cage outside that you exchange bottles only fill them with 15 pounds of propane, the label they wrap them with admits it . That would make them 3.5 gallon in the 20 pound store bought tank. 1 gallon of propane weighs 4.2 pounds. A "full" 20 lb cylinder containing 20...

It was my pleasure to share with you, Glad to find someone that has a interest in this area, not much in print about it and what you find is not a step by step instruction . Even the manufacturer acts like it is a secret . I have been waiting on your progress report with your generator . I...

yes about center with the inlet, I used a tapered ream to size the hole for the hose in the air box , tight enough I had to wiggle the hose all the way into place , after a good seal around the hose, If you over shoot the size use some RTV sealant around it .

This is what I did, yes it egg shaped the hose a bit.

The throttle plate in the carburetor is going to control the amount of vacuum on the Regulator , it is a Demand Regulator , more vacuum = more fuel , this regulator is like a carburetor supplying the right amount of fuel to air mix . In the intake between the carb and engine block is constant...

you said a 40/60 switch so the pressure on the tank with the breaker turned off and water valves open so there is no pressure on the tank, then with a tire pressure gauge check the bladder pressure, should be 2 pounds less then kick in pressure of 40 pounds so 38 pounds. They do not know which...

Do you mean with out a carburetor ? If so the answer is no. It needs to use the throttle plate in the carburetor. The Inside Diameter on my hose from the regulator to the carb is 3/8 inch , so you need to know what size pipe thread is in your regulator or take it with you to the hardware store...

Some regulators have a primer button you push to manually hold the diaphragm open like the one Travelover has per the youtube video he attached, you could compare it to a choke on a gasoline carburetor . On forklifts, automobiles they have a electric solenoid mounted over the primer button so...

Yes, it sounds and runs like it is on gasoline, throttles up and idles and follows the Governor for rpms . I remember my generator running a little rich, slight black smoke when I first started it after converting it , they make a adjustable inline valve to correct it , goes between the...

I converted my generac 10 hp Briggs over to Propane . I did not buy a kit , I used a on demand regulator like you are talking about. It was intended for a floor scrubber . I removed the carb to get to the plastic spacer that is between the carb and the block. I drilled and tapped a hole for a...

I have both the Convection Oven /Range and I thought it was fast and also the air fryer and they both have a fan and blow the heat around making the temperature even , no hot spots. I feel the air fryer is faster to pre heat and with the basket it allows the air to cook all sides at once and...

I have a Case that uses Type F automatic transmission fluid and warns that Type A will make it spongy and soft . In fact it uses the Type F in the hydraulic drive and loader. I bought mine from Rural King ,a farm store in Indiana / Illinois .

Most likely it is the center ram seals in the steering cylinder, when they go bad and start leaking from one side to the other it will pressure up when you turn the steering wheel but bleed off quickly and let the ram float from side to side. My Jimna took 40 turns to the mile to keep it on the...

When you say framed it in did you mean you installed ceiling joist and made it a conventional flat ceiling or dry walled on the bottom of the rafters at the angle of the roof ? Do you know the pitch of the roof? Example 6 to 12 or 16 to 12 rise per foot of half the width of the building , with...

What you are saying makes sense, welding the spring saddles on with a lot of weld and building a excess in heat could have pulled the carbon from the surrounding area of the axle tube around the saddle to the weld and making it softer and capable of bending .Everything I weld pulls some no...

Most axles have a arch up and is installed up so it goes straight when loaded. If it was rotated forwards or backwards it could cause a toe out or in . If you can place the palm of your hand on top of the tire tread and slide it in to the trailer and back out and feel for feathering,(edges felt...

Is there any chance you put the battery from the garage in backwards ?

I live in Northern Indiana and our rate is .123 per 1000 watt hour and they have a billing fee $8 ?? a month. The led at 9 watt and the compact florescent at 13 watt , I believe that equals Led bulb 111.11 hours for 13 cents or Compact Florescent 76.92 hours at 13 cents of electricity . I...

I am in North West Indiana , I was cutting firewood two years back and got the deer tick bite. I never saw or felt it. With in a few days I was in bed with what I thought was the flu, Fever, shock saw bad I had to move the bed away from the wall because it was hammering on the drywall, had to...

The ambient temperature around the tank plays a big part in a single 20# keeping up in the vaporizing needs. My Toro Groundsmaster 4 cylinder engine runs on one 20# cylinder , some summer mornings I have to avoid the shaded areas while mowing so the sun can make the tank work, in the shaded...

Just to add more thought to your idea, How long does it stay up when you air it up ?(thinking could you drive it to them) How far is it to the tire repair shop ? Would they come if it was at the bottom of the steep drive ( is the steep grade the reason the service call is a problem )?

This video is what it looks like from my backyard. The only good part is no one can build a house around them in case they come apart so things should never change . You can drive a hour to the east or to the west and still be in the Wind Farm. The neat part is seeing 3000 of the red lights on...

We use to tarp strap them to the mower tractor wheel and go mow, some of the tanks had a lip on the inside of the fill hole and could be a pain to get the gravel out so we used nuts and bolts and used a magnet to get them back out. At that time we ordered a quart can of Tank Sealer from J C...

Was there a reason people move away from the propane on the cars there in Canada, Propane prices? They are back to putting it on school buses and county gas powered pickups here. Public transportation is 100% Natural Gas . The Dairy north of me run there Semi tankers on methane gas from there...

I am sure there is a vacuum port on his regulator that runs a hose to a port on the engine side of the throttle plate in the carb, it is a safety device to shut off the propane if the motor quits for any reason. My floor burnisher has two of them.The regulators are so sensitive that they have to...

Not sure how much computer you have on your generator if any but most gas engine call for more fuel when cold and will backfire and hunt for fuel when lean. Also most on demand propane regulators are vacuum operated and when you start your engine and the governor pulls the throttle plate wide...

How about this one with the ice rippers and front and back cutting edge? King Kutter 4' Box Blade BB-48-XB- by King Kutter Inc for $494.99 in King Kutter - Brands : Rural King

The snow in my area (100 mile south of Chicago) can be wet or dry, when dry the blower is great, no piles for it to drift behind later. But when it is wet and the wind is blowing the county plows do not waste there time plowing until it quits blowing , it is blown back in under a hour if they...

Try it now, I changed it to public

Indiana shared there snow with our Friends in the south this year so I had to dig out a video from 2013 to show my snow weapon . I found The Case Davis Scatback 430 on craigslist and thought I had to have it , because the loader went down just as fast as it went up and the oil running out of all...

This is the 220

This is a video of my Toro with the mcKee 220 mounted and working a few years back. Do you have a cab on your unit ? ToroGM72 with McKee Snowlander - YouTube

I just went back through all of that and I am the only one in that conversation that had a McKee Snowlander , mine is a 220 and is 48 inches wide and as heavy as a car engine. I will look and see if my part number page will copie and better then the other pages. Mine was bought new in 1979 with...

If you put Mckee SnowLander in the search in the very top black tool bar next to dealers ,stores then there is a search box, then it will offer you all the conversations that had Mckee SnowLander in them. i put a few pdf files of my manual on there. But there is also some other good info in all...

I believe there was a discussion about this in the Toro section, it was used on the Grounds Master

I also use the 4 inch grinder with the black cut off wheel made to cut steel. I can cut a circle the size of a 5 gallon bucket. I just lay it on top and score it once then it is easy to follow it around a few more times till it is cut.Its not like cutting plywood with a circular saw, with this...

-5 F or -20 Celsius here in Northern Indiana, do not hear the roar of the wind ,still dark but can see red lights on the wind turbines as far as 15 miles so can not be much going on. I hope all the rain turns to snow in the south with the temps they are getting, when we get the freezing rain it...

Yes we did,some times we would run the battery down and half to walk to school and it was up hill both ways.

Look to see if any of the plastic fan is broken on the slow side, this would allow for that side to get hot , if it is broken you will need a new one around $12 and another oil change , when the oil is a lot hotter then the air around the system it will condensate on the inside and make it...

Is it like the one in this video link Locking Pin Hydraulic Cylinder - YouTube

I do not have one of the tractors but would guess it is a feedback, maybe the back up alarm searching for a ground and found it through the glow plug circuit, once the engine starts the DC current reverses and stops coming out of the battery and back into the battery stopping the current from...

It has been some years sense my Jinma with the YangDong 3 cylinder but the only engine problem was a head gasket. It took a lot of cranking to get it started and when it did start it blew black speckles over everything from the exhaust and the intake. Was a simple job to replace it and after...

We used to try to deliver 8 foot florescent bulbs, the dock workers thought the long thin boxes were real handy to fill in the gap between the wall and the skidded freight in the trailer.I felt it was a waste of time for me to even take it to the customers, it sounded like sand and empty pop...

I to did a time hauling LTL Less then a Truck Load, We had a Girl that handled lost freight on our dock, she would not move until she had to. We had a sticky decal with a scanable bar code that the driver put on when picked up from the manufacture, we called it a pro number ?In a perfect world...

Does Canada use the same current as the USA ? The US is 60 cycle

Also if you do not correct the rapid cycling it will kill the pump motor. I went through this same problem two days ago, having a tire pressure gauge that was way off made it hard to correct the problem. I shut off my well and drained off the pressure, aired my blader tank up to what I thought...

Another mystery solved , I have had good luck with the Clone engines from china, I have noticed I have to be right on the adjustment of the exhaust valve for a easy spin start, if the adjustment gets a little loose it acts like a low battery, the compression release works well so it must be the...

I had a problem with birds in my tire warehouse, they perched on the truss rafters and po oped all over ever tire in the racks, we had it on our hands , clothes shoes, just not good, had to keep plastic wrap over the desk and paper work. The chirping at times was overwhelming. One day we had a...

Do you have a loader on your tractor now?

I agree with Shaneard 200% , give it a good workout, even if there is nothing wrong you might feel it is a little under powered or do not like the fit of the work station, blind spots , if it is a dealer maybe he will lease it to you for a week with your purchase at the end if ??? .The lease...

Welcome and I hope you can share some of your summer with us,I got 3 inches of snow today and it is 1 Degree Celsius . I live 100 mile south of Chicago Il. and 100 mile north of Indianapolis In. I have friends in Whangarei north of you.

I am so glad you picked Tractor By Net to spend your chair time with. It is a good mix of international communications and can be as entertaining as a ham radio in the 1960's . Welcome:welcome:

I used to install the plug patch on Semi truck tires, like the one that seaneastok showed you. The plug itself is bigger then the hole and you pull on the rubber tail very hard to stretch it out to fit into the hole and when you let it go it swells back up very tight and fills it solid. there...

I guess I did not make my self clear about the no wifi, so I will clear it up, Some people get there coupons in the sunday paper but I dont get the sunday paper, some get a HF coupon package in the mail but I get mine in a email, most stores allow you to show them your screen of your tablet and...

I think you are doing more then spraying tractors with that ether if you are driving your generator behind a 18 wheeler, try to focus on generators and not looking for a fight, you are not making yourself look smart by trying to make us look stupid .

Walk behind snow blowers do not have a air filter element because they would just plug solid with the blowing snow in the air.

The idea of the fuel solenoid was to stop the engine from back firing when it is shut off. With time the top of the piston and cylinder head builds up with carbon and will get red hot like a glow plug in a diesel engine, when the key is shut off the piston continues to spin a few more turns and...

I use a impact screwdriver on my stuck screws with a decent amount of luck. Impact Screwdriver Set with Case

I love a puzzle, turning on the choke would also cover up a intake leak, the vacuum would increase when closing the choke butterfly. You never mentioned the electric fuel solenoid on the bottom of the carb,did it come new with the new carb ? maybe it is starting to go bad. You might remove it...

Jeff I have burnt some up. Back in the day 1980 when GM started the 5.7 diesel cars they could be a real pain to start. One real cold day I could not get it to start, almost but not stay running.

I take out the thermostat and put the hose in the hole the cap came off of, turn the water down to were it is just running over and with the engine running I walk away for awhile and wait for it to run clean. Then I put in a package of cooling system cleaner put the cap on for half an hour with...

Sorry it turned out this way, **** old tractors anyway, It was made about the same time as Packard Bell, AOL and windows 3.1 ,

Hi Stuart, I am having trouble believing the valve stem started sticking in a few months I keep searching in my mind other popping back and coughing tractors I have had. I remember one that did not charge and I had to put it on a charger for awhile to use it. When the battery would get down to...

It will be on top two times, one will be on exhaust and one on compression, you want the compression, this will be with both valves shut, put your finger over the spark plug hole and turn the engine over until the compression blow your finger up off the hole. It wont have to be exact just close...

Stuart , I saw this Q and A, and it is close to your issue. Firing Order on MF 135 Perkins 3 Cyl - Yesterday's Tractors They dont say which way it turns but you can turn the key and find out .

It would be best if it was running to hear the difference, but you might get a shock if the wire is leaking. three cylinder it wont take long. When and if you have to remove the valve cover so you can work penetrate around the valve stem and work it up and down it would be nice to know for sure...

How long has it sat not running ? It is firing back through the intake valve. valve is sticking or possible spark plug wire in wrong order or cracked distributor cap.The erratic pattern sounds like sticky intake valve. Unplug and plug back in each spark plug wire until you find the cylinder...

If the coiled wire inside the amp meter was burnt off it most likely would not charge the battery, from the first wiring diagram it looks like the wire from the alternator goes through the amp meter on the way to the battery to charge it.That would explain the jumper wire. My Farmal cub is...

It sounds like you have all three of the wires on the back of the key switch in the wrong place. Are they marked in any way Ex: BAT/IGN/ Sol, if not we need to use a ohm meter and sort that out. Kinda sounds like you are feeding the switch on the wrong spade and of coarse everything after that...

Couple wood shims pushed in under the trans pan will tilt it , I am spontaneous also. I like it , sure beats dragging in up on your chest and knees and working it up there.

When I rebuilt mine on the Case Loader I did not remove the hoses, I did not remove the cylinder from the loader, I removed the pin on the bucket end then the clip holding the head on the cylinder, used a piece of pipe 2 foot long through the hole the pin came out off and pulled the ram out...

This is where I buy my stuff but I feel it is imported but what isn't.Surplus Center

I had that same problem with my loader, it would go down just as fast as it went up and it was the seals. In my case it was just O Rings and shims and wiper seals at the cost of $15 for three cylinders. I think mine had been rebuilt with the wrong O Rings and were not ment to be in oil , who...

I never rolled one sideways but stood my loader on its nose once. The bucket on my loader is probably off a backhoe 7 foot wide and should have a 5 foot on it. I was getting better and better at rolling the bucket into the pile getting bigger scopes every time. Then when I had it up high enough...

Have you tried the starter to see if it will turn over or are you thinking there will be a problem? There is only two liquids in the engine, coolant which is in a sealed area and can not get into the cylinders with out a breach of the system like head gasket,Piston liner O Ring ,cracked head...

I think I had to work on it way to much, and it felt like it was always poor workmanship or defective parts, I liked the tractor and it was easy to work on but I worked on it more then I used it. In Indiana they were sold everywhere under many names. I bought mine broke down for $300 and my...

From what I can tell from all the diagrams is both sides of the pump are putting out fluid until it reaches 500 psi back pressure then it opens a unloader valve on the high volume side of the pump and it just circulates and lets the high pressure side continue working. So it sounds like that...

By chance it is not a bent cylinder rod passing in and out of the cylinder head? Can you measure the exact spot it does it and see if it is the same place with no log in it, or is only when it is loaded?

I have a well so I have to ask how much money that 1650 gallons cost. You might have to install a holding tank to catch the shower water for the trees, When I bought the new washer I went with front load and was shocked when the owners manual said a top load was around 50 to 60 gallons a load...

Is it marked as to what direction it turns, clockwise or counter clockwise. Most log splitters are 11 to 16 gallon a minute and are two stage, fast with no load . I am thinking snow plow,power steering, dump bed, conveyor, winch.

I did not see what engine this came with. If it was a overhead valve engine you might want to check the exhaust valve gap.They have a compression release on the camshaft and adjusted properly the valve is slightly opened when starting and shut all the way once started. If to loose it will pull...

After listening to all of us he is probably thinking about stopping the check on the new house and buying a motor home to park in the parking lot at work. With the moving and everything that goes with it it is to bad he cant wait a year on his tractor, maybe go meet his new neighbors and ask...

my vote is with the two stage pump, when it needs to drop back to high pressure low volume it dont and the engine cant push that much fluid that fast. I believe that splitter is made by SpeeCo ,

I looked at my manual and it is a McKee Snow Lander Model 220

When I put mine on the front of my GM72 I have to unthread the ends on the arms of the tractor half a turn to change from side mount for deck to front mount for blower also it takes a different lift arm then the mower deck. Same drive shaft. I will look at what model I have , the blower came...

Years ago I went to school for welding and remember some little things about increasing the strength of a weld. In this case it sounds good because you are weld the same metals together and they will act the same when heated and cooled. Carbon is what make the steel strong, when heated it...

I bought a old backhoe that would foam so bad if you filled the hydraulic up then started the tractor it would foam over and out the vent fill cap on the ground until it would make enough room in the tank for all the foam. It ended up being the shaft seal on the pump allowing air into the...

I went to the cozy cab manual page and it does not look like it in there picture, it shows 355D and 455D as the same Cozy Cab | MANUALS

It has to be closer to nine years, we had it fixed to were most our snow goes to the North East about that time. I guess I should sell my cab and blower to Multimow when he is in Louisville, KY he could come north about five hours on I65 .

Dont forget the cab to go with the snowblower, when the wind changes it will lay half of pickup load of snow in your lap. You need more then a rain coat and googles . Mine has a wiper on it and there is a minute at a time you just have to stop and wait , move the toggle switch to move the shoot...

We have 120 volt ac 60 cycle here for most things and 220 volt for larger items, water heaters,clothes dryers large Air conditioners and compressors. In commercial use we have three phase 440 volt. Our gasoline is mixed with ethanol and is wrecking our small engine carbs and gas hoses,I have...

I noticed you wearing ear protection but it did not sound loud in the video.I can hear the wood popping and other noises louder. You mentioned slow, I have a 28 ton Speeco that might be as fast going in but slower on the return. You splitting the big knot sold me on it.I use my splitter for...

Surplus Center $229.00 each . I was going to order a set of these units from this store until I notice the plastic fan on top of my right side had most of the fins broken off and let it get hot.Took about 30 minutes of mowing before it quit moving on that side. I had to remove the drive unit ...

No, I meant the exhaust, it would blow compression out the carburetor if it was the intake . When he said it blew oil out the spark plug hole, that the cylinder had been cleared of liquid from spinning it over with the plug out. You are correct on suspecting the bowl needle not holding back the...

If it is a overhead valve engine you might start with adjusting the exhaust valve , when the gap gets to big the compression release can not work as well and cause your symptoms. Looking at the picture you see a round piece that holds the valve open slightly until it starts then it will spin...

It is a Parker Air cylinder . I cant see any reason a hydraulic cylinder would not work.One thought is do not get much larger then this cylinder because you will not have enough weight to push the handle down.Try to fill the tanks early on a cool morning, about 2/3 of the gas will move on its...

The liquid line comes out of the big tank, it pushes itself past the first check valve and fills the air cylinder with liquid when handle is lifted. When pushed down that first check valve closes forcing the liquid to go out the second check valve into the small tank and the second check valve...

Some pictures of how case faced two jeep axles at each other then used drive shaft with a sprocket . There is a hydraulic motor with a sprocket driving the chain to the driveshaft.I would not think a mower would have to be this heavy .

I have not built one but there is some good Utubes about home built tractors bending in the middle.articulated homebuilt mower - YouTube Looked straight foward build, more time then money. My little loader bends in the middle and I love it for moving snow. I had a old Bolens Estate Keeper I...

My generator is a Generac 5000 watt continues, with a Briggs 10 HP engine , It sets 10 months forgotten then the Indiana winter comes and it starts, high winds, down lines , 0 visibility and three day outages. I have removed the carb and cleaned it every year by the light of a crank up...

When I moved out to the country 28 years ago I had a few skunks living in the work shop pole barn no doors type of thing. I could see there tails sticking out from under the work bench and they snore .I was so supersized the air compressor and the radio did not run them off or worse. Every...

the pdf file is the info about the manufacture, third picture called megamow0001.pdf . I can give you the measurements, thickness,distance across.Can not be to hard with a plasma cutter and drill. Looks like a lot of knifes for sale on ebay in the hay cutting area, might look at that as a...

It is a Toro GM72 , but the blades are after market ,I am attaching photos,

I have about 400 foot row of Hedge trees, they have a thorn on the limbs about the size of a #4 finish nail and will rip the shirt right off my back and leave me with bright purple scratches on my arms. I use 1 cup antifreeze in each tire to keep the thorns swelled up so I do not loose air over...

I think it is like a garden hose that has been drained of all of its water, when you first turn it on it has to fill the hose before it comes out the end, so pushing the primer button just drains the air out of the hose and allows it to fill with Propane vapor, The Regulator is a on demand type...

Yes and that it is 6 foot wide so that it has the 2 foot of deck sticking out past the wheel. That part also makes it easier to trim around small trees, I can trim a tree as small as a pop can with out much effort. So yes any out front mower with the offset would make me happy, next time it will...

On my floor burnisher I have to remove the tank out of the building when I am done using it.So I have to purge it everytime. It is a 13 HP Honda. It has a small vacuum hose that opens the regulator to let the propane come through. It is a safety thing, basicly it shuts the gas off if it dies or...

I still mow with the GM72, Time to patch my deck again and I have to get my engine parts from Germany because it has the Continental R Renault engine in it. I have had it on Propane for many years, propane unit off of a floor burnisher and a 20 pound grill tank. Always starts ,I am fat enough to...

I have a 5 month old GE Hybrid water heater and called GE about the odor/sulfur egg smell. They told me mine came with Magnesium and I need Aluminum. Also to sanitize with bleach . I goggled the bleach sanitizing and it was straight forward info. I have well water, whole house filter and water...

I took welding certification in school . I remember that the harder the steel the more you had to use the chipping hammer to keep the carbon moving when it was cooling. The carbon is even through out the piece, when you weld the heat draws it from the surrounding area making the weld harder and...

I have owned a Jinma and the switches are not quality and failed quick for me. I would start with a test light fastened to the negative (-) side of battery or engine block and touch the probe to both sides of the light switch terminals when it is turned off and then on.This should tell you if...

For about 7 years I ran my mower on Propane . When fuel injection first came around Ford was trying something along the idea of the GM throtle body, but with 500 wires and hoses, the book said to set that mess you used a propane torch (not lit) held in the carb to keep it running.I mention this...

A few pictures of my bad seals, Jinma 254 . Steering wheel never quit turning , was worse one way more then other. Got to were it did not turn at a idle sitting still.Took off one hose , not running, turned steering wheel and the oil went in through the hose that was still on and out the...
