A few minutes with a wire wheel and spray bomb on that frame and it really will be like new. Nice find and nice pipe work! :)
There are also some really chintzy quality bolts being sold everywhere these days.
Do you know why the bolt broke? It shouldn't see a whole lot of stress if things are designed & working normally - mainly should just be bringing...
We've got a Stihl Kombi. That thing cuts surprisingly well, way better than I was expecting. Just grunts right through in no time. Just got a...
I have a flat plate. The DHW side is T'd into the DHW tank at the bottom feed inlet, and the top pressure relief port. I have a little circ pump...
It would work much better if you recirculate the DHW side of the heat exchanger thru the DHW tank as needed. To charge up the DHW tank. Otherwise,...
Interesting. I just decided after my last session with the old FS36 that it needs to go. Too heavy and way too many vibes. Have other m18 things...
Going to buy a boiler or did buy one?
Have you been to those others to see what they would do on a similar sized/featured rig? Around here, we have Kubota & MF/Agco within a half...
If you wanted to use electric for backup hear, I would likely just plumb in a small electric boiler. That's what I have. Take up very little space...
Yes but [again :) ] - the heat pump doesn't make heat. It just moves it around. So you would have it in one place in your house, taking heat out...
Yes, but - how will the water in the dhw heater get heated when it is being used for backup heat?
You are completely losing me on that idea. The HPWH is just a heat mover - it takes heat from one place, and puts it in another. When heating...
You're talking about a DHW heater? And trying to use it to heat your house? Not exactly clear on what you posted, but I don't think that would...
Heat pump heaters can also add some AC & dehumidification effect. Extra bonus in the summer. I had seriously misunderstood how efficient an...
Burning wood for DHW in the summer is kind of a one-size-doesn't-fit-all thing. I started out that way with my boiler+storage. I got the kinks...
Wow - that seems to be the same price ballpark as a new one? It all comes down to preferences of course, but I would always want a H/V splitter...
That's likely true but you never know what will turn up that someone has had kicking around for a while. What's it been - maybe 10 years since...
I would likely stay away from something that had a Tecumseh on it. Or at least budget a replacement knock off engine into the offering - might be...
Outdoor gassers, are different than indoor ones with storage. I think they go all winter without re-lighting, and might do OK with larger splits....
