SCS if you are replacing the drop you should replace the tee as well. If you have the multi tool it is quite easy..if not another set of hands is cheaper. :)
I would stop tapping the tree once the leaves come no more. Let the peckers peck it, don't cut it, they tend to stay on trees that have bugs.
Exactly! Almost like a full time job. ;)
Ditto on the "nightmare" Spud !
Randy....Long under wear model !!? :lol:
Use saddles. Those 4-6 port star fittings or horizontal fittings for your main lines are a PITA. You have to cut and clamp for every installation.
Say my, this topic has really turned full circle. Optionguru this was a good thread. Most folks seem to agree that questions should be asked regarding different brands. The efficiency of heat...
Appalachian Supply in Littleton. Russell is correct. Matter of fact you can have Modine heaters installed in your out buildings. I have the smallest model. The 5048 I think. My house is 3400 sq....
Check to be sure you have the correct grade engine oil. Also, if it new you may have to change the "break in" oil anyway.
Biz they may be galvanized tin.
Took the dbl. vertical releaser out of storage and noticed that both dump flaps were chewed off. Bits and pieces all over the wood pile in the sugar house. Last season during the beginning of the...

Yes you need a vacuum regulator in order to bring air into the vacuum pump (ie:...
Maplesapper if you already have the 4x's you can run chains on all four tires. Once you have a packed trail they will go quite well. Probably would have $120 invested.
RAYI, it is stuck from caked on milk at the gasket...just as WestMaples stated. I might add...do not force the tophat off or pry it...that gasket is hard to find. Bender releasers were first...
Dr.Tim
You have my vote.
Maple Sapper, I don't haul sap with mine..just sugaring supplies, tubing etc. Saves walking up very steep hill to the bush. We have been tubing since 1983.
If you plan to tap much larger in the...
NOAH'S ARK, Maple Flats hit the nail on the head. Just go with 5/16 tubing for the 30 extra taps.
Maplesapper, back in the day before we changed over to tubing we would haul in 5 gallon buckets to a remote dumping station (tank)that would gravity feed to the sugar house. We also had a tank that...
nice :) Wonder what they get for gas mileage.
Sitting here on the Trader watching it rain. Yuk.
