What is normal compression on a diesel engine?
275 to 400 psi What is good compression on a diesel engine? Good compression on a diesel engine falls in the range of 275 to 400 psi. You typically don’t want to have a variance of more than 10% between cylinders.

An engine compression test will tell you many things about the mechanical condition of your engine. The test can detect, for example, pressure leaks through rings, cylinders, valves, or a head gasket without taking apart the engine. So you’ll save a lot of time and money in diagnostics.

You can compression test the cylinders with the help of a compression gauge. All you have to do is connect the gauge in place of a spark plug and test each cylinder pressure in turn. Once you have the results, you compare your gauge reading to manufacturer specifications and interpret your results.

In the past I have used a hand chisel, since I felt I had more control than with a router but it usually gave me ugly cuts and took a lot of time. This template makes hinge installation essentially error free and can work with essentially any door thickness. This package is a one-stop shop: all you need is a router and you are on your way, since it comes with a router bit and a self-centering drill bit for the screw holes. The built in router bit depth gauge and the on board storage for all the pieces is a great touch. Excellent template/jig for a task I used to hate; highly recommended. Easy to use hinge template with some positive but also negative changes from the previous version… Easy to use hinge template with some positive but also negative changes from the previous version, AHT99HT2. These RYOBI door templates for lock setting and cutting hinges are well thought out, inexpensive and good value. Sure they are not as solid (being made of plastic vs metal) as some of the professional templates, but they are adequate for DIYers or even contractors that need to hang the occasional door. This template allows you to quickly cut different size hinges with radius or square corners (you will need to use a chisel to cut out square corners) using the included router bit.

How to Replace Your Pool Filter Pressure Gauge

I show how I replace the pool filter pressure gauge. It’s easy. Here is a link to buy this pressure gauge: https://amzn.to/2PsYNVC

#poolmaintenance #pool #poolseason #poolcleaning

How to Replace Your Pool Filter Pressure Gauge
Step 1
The first step is to turn off the pool pump to stop the flow of water through the pool cartridge filter.
Step 2
Next you will have to relieve the pressure that has built up in the pool filter. To relieve pressure turn the air relief valve on top of the filter counter-clockwise. Water will spray out initially as you see the pressure on the pool filter pressure gauge go to 0 psi.
Step 3
Twist the base of the pool filter pressure gauge counterclockwise to remove the gauge from the top of the pool filter head. You may have to use an open-end wrench to loosen the gauge. If you twist too hard from the top of the pressure valve, you may break the valve.
Step 4
Wrap the threads of the pressure gauge with 3 layers of plumbers Teflon tape. Wind the tape CLOCKWISE as you face the open end of the fitting, beginning at the end of the fitting. DO NOT use Plumber’s Pipe Dope.
Step 5
Hand tighten and then turn the base of the gauge 1/4 turn with an open end wrench. DO NOT over tighten.
Step 6
Turn on power to the pool pump to repressurize the pool filter.
Step 7
The air relief valve should still be open. As the pressure builds, air will be released through the relief valve. When water starts to spray out of the valve, turn the valve clockwise to close it.
Step 8
Check the pressure gauge. It typically reads between 10 – 20 psi but this will vary according to the make of pool cartridge filter or its age.

Converting a 5ft 3pt Landscape Rake to a 10ft 3pt Landscape Rake

#tractors #tractorhacks #diy #homemade #farm #tractor
I had an old 5 foot 3 point landscape rake that I was not using and I needed something bigger to collect up all the wash up from the creek when it floods. I went ahead and up graded that 5 foot rake to a 10 foot rake to make a better tool for my use.

Landscapes have all sorts of wonderful uses. For me it cleans out the pasture. Here is other info about them:

In order to efficiently clear a field of debris, you need a landscape rake. Sometimes known as a rock rake or york rake, a landscape rake features many curved C-tines that are pulled, sometimes pushed, behind a tractor that scrape through the grass and pull out debris.

Landscape rakes are generally used to level ground, spread out ground coverings, and improve the overall quality of large areas of ground.

This 3-point landscape rake is great for a variety of agricultural needs. Use this lawn rake for grading, to clear rock, for soil preparation, for lawn preparation, to level your soil, spread top soil, to break up clumps of sod, and so much more.
