Useful vaporizer? What I have on the way is that standard J or whatever it is.

Could definitely use an operational forktruck to clean this shit up





I needed to dig out four of the very most buried tires. Someone clipped a curb... and got to be first on a lift before any of my junk.

Joe is maybe an hour from emptied out now. Load in Gus to the house. Few more of those on the horizon

Gonna put the ATV tires back on Gus for now. Tired of spinning in the yard when empty.

House garage door decided not to. Don’t know why yet.

mixer with butterfly and coolant heated regulator.  basically everything needed to put over an intake hole of a motor with good ignition, minus some hose barbs and LPG line.

It’s the vaporizer + regulator piece that I’m needing. Looked it over when dad was here, should be easy to abandon what’s there and install, I hope.

I won’t have what I bought until saturday. Might be worth it to me to grab it Thursday. Tomorrow is full with getting diesel, mowing, meeting.

Kinda can’t wait for those furlough weeks. In a normal year I’d have probably taken 3 weeks vacation for this now.

screwing on those replacement pieces will be way easier than what would be required to change to use what i have.  id def try that first. 

probably 2-300$ in value of the stuff i have also now that i think about it.

This or something like it isn’t one of those pieces?

mowed for about 90m before work today. got well more than half done. Wishing for 15 more horsepower. I did not look at the blades yet.

going across the grain in the back is rough, that's a fair bit of ruts. Need to override the mower disconnect and change it to a tether or something. Going across crossgrain bumps in back I get off the seat enough to disengage.

could a turbo be added to that mower's diesel motor?

Easily - but adding appropriate extra fuel isn't easy.

If that motor was available as a turbodiesel, I might be able to find the appropriate fuel pump - I bet it would cost near as much as the mower cost me though. And often the turbo versions have lower compression and more durable internals.

Just signed a stipulation of assessment at 260k and sent it back to the assessor. Still needs board approval but that's all but a given.

confirmed receipt, should get a letter from the board within 10 days confirming adjustment 👍

I didn't use 5 gallons mowing the first time - thought it was low and bought 10 gallons this morning, only added maybe 4 to the brim.
