@frankcicero6112 I only did that a couple times

@parisparaskevaidis2051 safety reasons.. a big problem when u leave it in.. when the mower is up people that don't use an impact wrench to remove the blade use a regular wrench or ratchet and the blade will often turn the motor.. it CAN start the mower .. some machines run so well that it doesn't take much to start them and people loose hands or arms.. it's not common but it has happened so it's just a good habit to get into when your face to face with the blade of a meat grinder

@@TheScottyDoList I've seen that stream it's fascinating.. enjoy

Next time that glitch happens don't watch against just refresh the page by swiping down. Thanks for always being here bud

Good choice

camper? Rv? I find it to be a good battery for what I use it for

@@MunkyWrench truck camper. Ran a couple fans and a compressor fridge full time and a tv Xbox lights etc part time with a 300 watt panel

@@samthekashman sounds about right my friend

the amp meters yeah they are cheaper on Amazon

it started 31 hours ago and were not at the halfway point

lol good idea

31 hours so far and not quite halfway yet

​@@MunkyWrench- Looks like a 5-7CF mini-fridge? Probably takes 3-5Amps at 120VAC to start, and 0.6-1.0Amps running. A major factor that many don't account for is the idle current consumption of the inverter! It is consuming 7-50 Watts just being on with no load. The smaller (500 & 800W) Victron inverters have a very low power standby mode. This feature is only compatible with mechanical thermostats, but many mini-fridges have those anyway.

@@xxxxxxxxxx6903 I did mention the invertor use and showed it in real application for people to understand.. good point well made and I am glad you brought it up. I love the added input

thanks

@MarkTaennis the bolt does nor spin with the pulley.. the pulley has a bearing it spins on. I just tighten by feel with a reg length ratchet.. no extra leverage so bolt doesn't sheer off.. you would have to look online for torque specs. In my experience of 30 years I never used a torque wrench. Ever.. not even on motor rebuilds and never had an issue so that should tell you how important torque specs are. But that's just my opinion and I'm hardly ever right lol.. hope this helps. Thanks for subscribing and helping me grow. I'm always here if u have more questions

Great big help, bolt keeps coming loose, think I need a new pulley if lock tight doesn't work?

I just watched your video again and I think the bearings fell out when the bolt worked it's way out. Does that sound right?

@@MarkTaennis yes this particular pulley is not an enclosed self contained race bearing.. it is ball bearings in a channel built in. Thats why I just got a used replacement part instead of trying to repack bearings in a damaged channel. that is a common problem with these drive pulleys. i doubt the bolt worked its way out but its possible.. usually the ball bearings get worn down to a smaller diameter until they can fall out the crack.. if that makes sense

@@MarkTaennis if the bolt keeps coming out the question is can you tighten it.. in other words when your ratcheting it in does it get tight and stop turning or will it just keep spinning with enough pressure from your wrench.. if it spins with pressure from the wrench it means the threads are shot and lock titie won't help.. you would have to drill and tap new threads.. or if theres room drill out the hole and use a nut and lock washer to sandwich it together.. if it does in fact tighten then yes lock tite will do the trick .. remember to let it cure according to the directions before using it

Always happy to hear my vids helped someone.. proud of you for getting it done yourself. Thanks for subscribing and comments.. it really helps me grow

Makes so much difference in inside temp of office.. air conditioner barely runs to keep cool now. I'm so pleased

@@MunkyWrench Gonna need an extra battery now to store all of that extra power 🙂

@@Lee_Proffit the company is sending me another and I have 3 others from 3 other companies to review. I need to make videos faster lol before they get mad at me

@@MunkyWrench It is a sign that you are doing something right when people start sending you stuff 👍🏼👍🏼

@@Lee_Proffit Thanks for noticing mate.. im pretty proud

@beegekhaos3171 the grass doesn't start growing here in Florida until June.. and it quits growing by Halloween.. at least for the last 5 years. So mowers sit for 6 months . Most people use them every 6 to 8 weeks to tidy up but mostly they sit. So every year by may I get tons of people that can't get them stsrted.. they bring to me to clean carb.. and lots get thrown away

my thoughts exactly

The cells on the panel are wired together but if one goes bad the power works it's way around. U can lose small amounts as they go bad.. but panels are rated for 25 years life. Unless a tree branch falls on it your get a long long time.. and used panels are always cheaper

good to see you

did u get my email

@@MunkyWrench Yes , and responded appropriately...

@@warenmann1042 I see your a fellow Floridian.. I hope Helene didn't cause you much problem up there in the panhandle

@@MunkyWrench Actually it went east of us , so all's well this time. But then there is always next year coach...

@@warenmann1042 Lets hope we both get to sit out next season lol . I will be hitting the post office in the next day or 2 and get them right out to ya my friend. Congrats on winning and I hope you enjoy them. Thanks for watching and helping me grow

im so pleased with them on multiple levels .. Florida sun makes it possible

thanks for watching
