    Electric mud motor - pic added

    The horsepower formula is: (Torque x RPM)/5250 = hp. so 44 ft-lbs x 250 rpm / 5250 = about 2hp

    Electric mud motor - pic added

    I made an electric mud motor by welding up a tube frame and adding a electric trolling motor on the end. The motor has 44 foot pounds of torque and I estimate that the motor is turning about 250rpms at "full throttle", so that is equivalent to about 2hp. I mounted it to my Kara and I expected to...

    NDR - troubleshoot furnace problems

    Got it to work: went through and jiggled all the wires that connect to the control board to see if they were loose and sure enough I found one. Wife thinks I'm a hero. Maybe I should fix more stuff around the house..........................nah!

    NDR - troubleshoot furnace problems

    Anyone know a good place to find a troubleshooting guide for a Trane XE90? Furnace is 5 - 7 years old. Tried to run it tonight since the nights are getting cooler here in Kansas and it won't be long until we need it. The draft fan comes on and then the ignitor, but the gas valve isn't...

    Sorta duck related: effort to open/close over under

    bought an over under for my daughter to use, she was complaining that her Ithica Model 37 featherlite kicks too much. Now she's complaining that it is too hard to open and close the over under. I admit it is pretty stiff. Is there anything I can do to to free it up? I put some gun oil on...

    Sorta duck related: hunter's armoire

    http://www.mauser-office.de/media/pdf/Anzeige_Jagdschrank_1.pdf Looks like the Jagdschrank is what I'm looking for. Bill is right, most of them are wood with ornate carving. Still looking for plans though. How do you say that in German? -

    Sorta duck related: hunter's armoire

    Does anyone have plans for a "hunter's armoire"? I have seen plans somewhere, don't know if it was this site or somewhere else. A google search revealed a plethora of stuff for your master bedroom or living room, but not what I need. Calling it an armoire makes it much easier to sell the wife.

    Any engineers in the group?

    Assume that a trailer is a simply supported beam uniformly loaded. It's not, but assume that. The amount of bend in the beam is dependent on the length of the beam, the weight applied, the modulus of elasticisty (the strength/stiffness of the material) and something called moment of...

    My dog's about to scratch himself....

    give him some benedryl to stop the itching, about 1mg per lb of weight. Fish oil tablets, one in the morning and one at night, will help out a bunch.

    stoeger shotgun

    I have had very good luck with mine. Although Benelli guys will deny it (my regional rep did), the action in the Stoeger 2000 is the same as the old Benelli M1 12ga. Benelli still makes a 20ga version of that gun, but not the 12ga. As mentioned by others you will want to keep it well...

    Wanna try my History quiz for this Fri?

    I find this very interesting, especially the questions about Canada. Admittedly I am the product of a rural, public school system, but we never studied stuff about Canada. I am younger than Dave Parks so this is history to me. :) Korea: China supported the north The US fought...

    motion decoys

    I use 3 or 4 quiver magnets and a half dozen duck butts on calm days and it seems to work well. The ducks will try to land on top of them, by the time the figure out there is something amiss I can get off a shot or two.
