GENERAL DISCUSSION TO INCLUDE OFF TOPIC / Re: Computer guided tractors
« Last post by gtermini on Today at 03:22:34 PM »
I hope they haven't forgotten how to drive without guidance. There was a lot of years before autosteer or even rate controllers were a thing that farming went on. Although I don't envy the guy that has to cultivate a field planted the old way.

I know the two pedals on a bicycle crankset are different threads, but I always forget which side is reverse threaded.

Now I know:
Most pedals are labelled with an "L" or an "R". (That tells you which side of the bike they go on). But it also gives away the threading. "L" is left hand thread, "R" is normal thread.
If your pedals aren't marked - or you want a simple way to tell - when riding the bike, look down at the pedals. The "left" pedal (from your perspective) is left-hand threaded!

Read this morning how the solar flares have disrupted the gps self guiding system on late model John Deeres.  Right in planting season too.  Problems reported in Mn, Ia, and Nebr.   150K in machinery sitting still due to nature causing a compuer glitch.  Any reports in other parts of the country?  Wonder if this disrupted self driving Teslas?

A lot of work there.  Reinstall the original doors?  Had to remove the doors from my side by side to bring it inside.  Guess will have to do it again to get it out, unless I reduce its size with the Milwaukee Sawzall!

Nice work!

Finished the new cooler unit install for the motor home propane/electric refrigerator. It's been a journey for sure. I spent five full days total. Removing the refrigerator, taking the cooler unit off, installing the new cooler unit. Then picking up the refrigerator and sliding it into place. A chore in itself as it weights  220 pounds empty.

Back into place as good or better than new. The replacement manufacturer claims it more efficient than OEM.. 


Buttoning up the wiring and propane lines through the side panel on the outside the coach.


It's been running for four hours and the freezer temperature is 6 degrees F


The main box area is 52 degrees F. It's normal to take 12 hours to stabilize the whole box area...


I added this set of fans to help distribute the air around the cooling coils and stops condensation in the main box. That is made by the Amish company that make the replacement coolers.


I'm sure glad this project is finished....

Thanks for your thoughtful explanation. I have a lot of talents; but limited knowledge of computers and the internet. I am lucky to find the way to turn one on.. On the other I highly doubt that Al Gore invented the Internet as he claimed...

I like hammers too, when working with metal, it helps to have lots of different sizes and shapes.

I agree, sweet pups.

April 11, 2024 I signed into machinistgazette.com.  Then started a thread on Sioux Valve Grinder. After ten days I started a second thread asking. “Anyone here?” No other posts to date. Now signing into MG.com sends you to “217.7.82.105”. With warnings of danger if you proceed. I did sign in and my computer didn't blow up. Yet  I also noticed that there are 6 to 12 guests lurking each time..

I find this entire internet thing well over my pay grade. And thank for you stepping up to  return the GG and MG back online..

I forgot to mention, you got that warning message because it was taking you to a site with "http" at the beginning instead of "https" which is considered to be more secure. Nine times out of ten the warning message is nothing but a scare tactic.
