    Quick connectors not that quick

    Pushing/tapping the ball on the male connector end against a hard surface will release the pressure that is on that side of the connection. Be careful of the oil being released!

    Crazy idea to clear a lake

When they built it, they were thinking ahead and had a pipe through the breast works with a glass plate attached on the far end. Shoot a gun up the pipe, break the glass, pond drained! After a year...

This may require disconnecting hoses from the pump, in that, draining the hydraulic system. It's been suggested that you...

    24 valve cummins

    Ford F550 work truck blew the oil line on the turbo. Dealer pulled the cab off to replace it. Apparently Ford designed it that way and it's not as bad a job as one would think. So they tell me! o_O
