Picked up 3 of these 3 gallon jugs a few days ago label says “Not for fuel use” wink wink nudge nudge . They were on the clearance rack at Tractor supply 50% off the lowest price . Paid $4.50 a piece View attachment 1249166View attachment 1249165
I see they're good for automotive fluids and chemicals though! :innocent:

Do they seem like nice jugs though? They look like nice, heavy plastic.
 
Good afternoon.

Picking my older daughter and a couple of her friends up after school and we are going to the cities (for you non Minnesotans, that's what we call the Minneapolis-St Paul Metro).

There's only a few places in the suburbs of the Cities (or Twin Cities) that I go to, all hobby shops, but the granddaddy of them all is Scale Model Supply, often referred to as "Scale" or "the guy in the basement off University & Lexington", the neighborhood has gotten sketchy-ish over the last 6-plus years but it's only about 2 blocks of I-94 so easy to get to and from. If memory serves correctly it was a bowling alley up until the 70s when it was turned into a hobby store, still has the grey and teal floor tiles yet. And there is a White Castle right across the street for those who like them. They have stuff the other shops won't carry and also buy collections/estates, so the used inventory is always changing, I had been looking for this older issue of the Tamiya Sherman kit and what they wanted for it was well under what sellers on EvilBay where charging. Let's just say I've left there with a rather large dent in my wallet more than once...

Real heavy a lot like the VP racing 5 gallon jugs I have .
So maple sap? :innocent:
No using them for fuel . I had to drain the gas out my wife’s Yamaha 1100 . Forgot to add stable in it as she road it the last time in fall and didn’t put the non E gas in it . Gas looked good but I’m not taking any chances

Edit just noticed they are American made
 
Jump pin 30 to 87. The lights should work. If not there's a problem in the basic lighting circuit. If they work it's a problem in the control side of the relay or the relay.

Edit. Or the panel
My panels numbers are 1 - 10 and a,b,c,d,e across the top. The middle one is 1 - 6 and 6 - 1 with a,b,c,d,e across the top. The last section is 1 , 12 and a,b,c d,e across the top. All the connectors at the BCM look great with electronic grease on them. Back to the 27 relay in the trunk. I have a groud on one terminal and power at the other 3 terminals. My best guess is that the internal board is shorted out somehow.
 
That looks nice, I'll get another Husky. I'm looking for an OE 372xp. Just missed the one David Major was selling.
372's are hard to beat, but I've settled on this guy moving forward. It's on the list to get ported this summer.

I was referring to the tail lamp relay pin numbers. Should be a diagram on the side of the relay. Otherwise here's this...Screenshot_20250311_171827_Google.jpg

Oh, my relay has only 4 pins. I'll look at it again tomorrow. 3 have power and one is a ground and has a ground going to it when the car is running with the lights on.

I've got 2 of them, one by Doc Al, one by Randy (who also did the 261 Matt loves). Those 3 are my most used saws.

The 261 is great for limbing and smaller bucking. The 462s are very fast and best for medium bucking, and when things get tough, I've got 2 ported hybrids, a ported 460, numerous 660s and a ported 661.
 
Good morning,

In reading my facebook feed this morning, I had no idea so many of my friends were experts on economic and trade issues. Here I just thought they were regular people.

(Sarcasm intended.)
Yup, When you prove them wrong they come up with other BS to ****** about. You just can't win. I have blocked quite a few people in the last year. I don't need their stress in my life. Some of them are posting 5 - 6 whining posts a day. I just delete family member posts that pop up on my page and snooze them for 30 days. They really need a hobby or something better to do with their life. Maybe I should invite them all over to split and stack wood to use up some of their wasted energy. 🤣

Well, you live in the Arctic Circle. Guys can only argue about snowmobiles and ice augers for so long.
