I was putting a culvert in a ditch with a 1950s ~25 hp tractor/backhoe, and in its old age it won't pull itself up steep hills. So I was planning on using my truck to tow it around. I started up the steepest hill I had to climb in first gear doing about 2000RPM without even towing the backhoe yet, a...

I hate public speaking with a passion. So it's always fun for me to watch somebody else that doesn't look very comfortable speaking in front of a crowd. I've checked the Reaktor account several times for the full video. Speaking of being good at fixing cars is the diesel running correctly yet?

I have no idea what any of the unlabeled values are, and it seems like I ended up putting a 0.1 Ohm resistor next to the coil for some reason. It didn't seem to make my vtec work so it didn't get installed on my current boar...

I suppose I wouldn't mind eliminating a few of my diy board problems if EssEss doesn't want that board. Or I could probably just lay claim to Fred's board if I'd come up with a vehicle for him to drive from LA to Canuckland. :-p

So I ordered a used flywheel off ebay, it wasn't in terrible shape, but it sort of needed resurfacing for the "burn"/scuff/funny marks. http://i.imgur.com/EeWKdWQl.jpg The machine shop that I've always had my flywheels resurfaced at didn't want to or couldn't resurface a dual mass flywheel...
