Underground Wiring from House to Garage

[TFucili]

View attachment 109332 View attachment 109333 Back to this garage project today, burned the god knows how old K1 out of the salamander and got some fresh stuff flowing through it’s veins.....smells a lot better!!!! I haven’t used it for at least 10 years...

Man I sold and serviced hundreds of those heaters. Still have the pressure gauge to set the pump pressure somewhere.

Hold your finger over the bleed-air hole and have flames licking out the front like an afterburner

I’ve got a bunch of 14/2 and 14/3 left over from past projects. All lighting will be LED so I’m pretty confident I can use the 14 for lighting only and be good. All outlets will be on the other screw in fuse circuit and that will done with 12/2.
Trying to use up some of this leftover wire. I’ve completely rewired a couple houses and even though I figure things close still wound up with extra stuff....
Using the 14/3 overhead for the second floor, three LED lights and an outlet at each end for shop vac, drill, Christmas lights, etc....

I’ve seen that with nobody holding anything over the bleed hole!!!! Usually right after some idiot ran #2 through them..

I’m sure the fuel filter needs attention, pretty neglected for something I own....

No K1 over there??

These really stink on #2 but no smell running K1 if they are in good shape.

It’s coming along now....

Yes, they stink on #2. You can also eliminate most of the shut down stench by putting a valve in the air line going to the nozzle head, that way when you close off the air it will quit siphoning fuel while everything is hot and still turning, and it won't dribble raw fuel in the chamber.

Well Dave, is this up to code?? I even use “Greenies” for the ground connection..no cheating for me..

Looks like it passes muster from what I can see. Smoke or flashbulb test is the final judgement

[mwilson]

I hate the flashbulb test!!!!

Nope, only Diesel or Fuel Oil that's even worse and difficult to get as it is tax free.

Well, I had made an offer a few weeks back on a Little Kubota with a bucket and backhoe. He just called and accepted the offer. Now what have I done???

I’ll get pictures up once I get it home....

Mike,

You have a great little setup there. Looks like the B7500. Does it have the hydrostat transmission? It'll do everything the BIG ones do, just takes a little longer since it nibbles instead of chomps. A lot more maneuverable too.
I have one just like it without the nice backhoe. 700 + trouble free hours...if there was room on the sheet metal she'd half a million scotch broom stickers on her sides. She tears up the 3/4 mile dirt/gravel road we live down and chases away the potholes; leveled the area for the barn; tended to several neighbors chores; currently on loan to a friend auguring 110 fencepost holes on their horse ranch. Energizer Bunny can't hold a candle to this little worker. Generally earned her keep since new - 2002/3?. One thing I learned is she seems to move/operate better using the little more spendy Kubota hydraulic fluid than any of the other brands I fed her at the dealers suggestion. Now if you ever want to part with the backhoe... Aw, too many postage stamps to lick for it to go from there to here anyway. Your tongue would gum up, coating the beverage flavor receptacles. That would not be good.

Reminds me when I was a kid, nice Toy.

Take great care when you are working sideways with the backhoe, they tip over very fast.

Sandy wants a 60" Snowblower for it now........

Spend,Spend,Spend. You could probably really use it tho. Don't forget the enclosed cab and heater. Need anymore help spending your money I'm always here.
