Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Hey Guys, any of ya's "Streaming TV" savvy..?? I'm getting my equip. together to finally "cut the cord" seeking info on using powerline adapters, read alot, .. but it seems there's a lot of B/S on all this Equip. I have a dual-band router .. a good modem and certified cables, (HDMI & Cat-6 Ethernet) using Spectrum 100-Mbps. internet, and just got my Roku-Ultra (2018) got my head stuffed with info from the net, but deciphering the B/S from reality is the problem, I prefer to Hard-wire everything (as our computers, modem, router & printers are now, but now I need to get a signal from the Router, in the computer room, (1 end of the house) to the OTHER end of the house, (living-room) for Roku & TV, without the hassle of runnin an Ethernet cable all that way, HENCE, the use of powerline adapters ... thats what I really need info about, does any of the gang be usin a set-up like that ...?? :confused2:..:confused2::confused3:

Run a cable you will be glad you did. If your power goes through more than one breaker you will have nothing but problems. Just stick with cat5e.

Re: MTD Yardman Transaxle Rebuild

Rog,
Years ago I spoke with a guy who worked for one the "alphabet" agency's and he was an expert on the Middle East, could speak most of the languages there and had read the quran in arabic and said "those fools had it all wrong, they would not get 72 virgins but they would get a 72 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and who the hell would want one of those?" Something to think about and see how messed up it is: he had interviewed female suicide bombers who had fail to blow themselves up and they were told that when they blew themselves up they would go to paradise as a MAN not as a women and be respected as a man. How screwed up is that?
I really really enjoy looking at and/or being with pretty Ladies.

Compressor repower

My 5hp shop compressor was giving me trouble.
The motor is 5HP 3phase, wired thru a converter as we have single phase power.
This was done at the expense of 1/3 of the power of the motor.
When I tried to operate at a higher pressure than 125, the motor would bog down and the converter would
cycle from run to start and back again.
Not a good situation.
With the advent of cooler weather, the machine wouldn't even make it to 125psi.
So............
Enter a new 5HP 1 phase motor, mag starter and pressure switch.
The stuff is all here, now I need to figger out how to wire it all up..........

You're talkin 60 feet of cable (cheap enough,) BUT I don't have a ceiling scuttle hole, goin underneath is a big headache too, that's why I'm considering powerline adapters, but some have to be on the same circuit/ breaker, most of our rooms are on separate circuits, and I sure as hell am NOT gonna install another circuit just for this, then,.. some say it doesn't matter.. any circuit is fine.. :confused2:..:confused2: AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH !!!! ( cat-6 is backwards compatible ) I was surprised how much is involved to do this, maybe I'll just keep the computer room hardwired, and go wireless to the Roku, maybe I can use the 5Ghz band for that, and use the 2.4 band for the puters N other stuff ..???

Cat-6 X 75 feet = $10.76

Best thing I can say is read any literature that came with the stuff, make sure to turn off the power (no duh) and take lots of pictures of how it is wired now and replace one piece at a time if you can.

That's good advice.
But, current wiring is 3 phase.........
I dunno if it would revert to single phase simply be removing the phase converter........
As I am replacing all the components with new stuff,
I plan on removing the entire wiring setup as a unit.
Un-wire from the motor and circuit breaker, then start over.
That way it will be there "in the flesh" so to speak.
