wrote: see http://memphis.craigslist.org/grd/5678750036.html I was thinking of building a backcast out of plaster on the outside or just sand to keep it from melting away in case I get too hot. Then just heat it up from the inside to reseal the hole. If you're serious about this, you're wasting your time. Once you blow a rod on a small engine, that engine is trash. Either buy a new engine, or a short block and replace the top parts yourself. Yes, a professional engine shop might be able to salvage what you have, but it will be very costly and they are not going to repair the block, they will just replace it, probably replace the crankshaft, as well as the piston, rod, and so on. By the time they are done, it will likely cost more than a short block or new engine. That old block is nothing more than scrap metal to be melted down into something new. Send it to a recycle center. You may even get a few bucks for it. Of course the easiest solution is to send the whole mower to a recycling place and just buy a new lawn mower..... |

A horse would starve on one of the 5 acre McMansions around here without supplemental feed. Funny, horse handbooks say 1 acre minimum grazing per horse. A 2 year old is equivalent to 1 AUM, a mature horse 1.25. Depending on the soil type, on a normal year around here you might get .25 AUM/acre for native range, a little more for irrigated land. Of course, you would want to divide your land into rotational plots to assure a feed supply throughout the growing season but you're not going to be making hay from any of them. During the winter months you'll need to feed out about 25 pounds of hay per day, more when the temperatures head towards 0F. Say 4 months or 120 days, you'll be feeding a ton and a half of hay that you'll have to buy. Good years you might pay $100/ton. bad years it might be twice that. Of course on 5 acres you'll also be in the waste management business. That 25 pounds of forage turns into 25 pounds of horse**** which will turn your pasture sour if you just leave it lie. The driest parts of the UK get about twice as much rain as we get on a good year. Irrigate heavily, choose grass species to plant wisely, have good soil, and the 5 acre horse may not be too boney. |

Yes, we've discovered irrigation, assuming you actually have water to irrigate with. A river flows through the valley and there is an extensive network of irrigation ditches. Get up on the benches a couple of hundred feet above the valley and water isn't that easy to come by. Even on the flat land a lot of the McMansion lots that were subdivided from old ranches do not come with water rights. And, no, I'm not going to get into water laws in the western US. Suffice it to say where water is a scarce commodity without a well defined legal structure in the good old days you'd just go kill the ******* who dammed the creek flowing through your property. |

I used to run bias plies on my pickup. Despite their drawbacks they were more durable on the sort of terrain that tends to eat radial sidewalls. I gave up about 15 years ago when I couldn't find any for a reasonable price. I ran Cheng Shins on one bike because they offered the old 'universal' tread which was a good compromise between street and dirt oriented tires, and I have Kendas on the enduro now. Both are Taiwan companies that have manufacturing facilities on the mainland. They are less expensive than other brands but I've found after you balance tire life against cost they're not outstanding deals. |
