Could you provide a link? I looked around on heavy.com, but I couldn't find such a video.
Thanks
it was a twitter video, maybe this link will get you there. don't know if you have to have a twitter account or not.

The video interview of the neighbor, on heavy.com, was pretty interesting. His description of how the perp killed the lady in the parking lot was pretty telling of his rage. I'm still thinking there will be a personal issue that comes up with the shooter and someone or someones at the church and that's the cause.

Exmark is now owned by Toro I believe, for what it's worth.

Looks like the jerky and junk show is headed to Lebanon this weekend. Saw the ad and kinda wanted to go, but after reading this think I'll pass. Sounds good in concept but the jerky won out.

I still have some sitting on my feeders. Usually most active in the early morning and late afternoon. I'll see what the activity is later today. I know there were still a bunch on Sunday.

I used alox lubed lead bullets and Unique for years. Man does it put out some smoke! Unique can be used in almost all pistol cartridges. I still use it some, kinda dirty.

ours have been much better at sharing the last week or so.

Use a long rod, wood or metal, put one end on the compressor and the other at your ear. Listen at diff spots on the compressor. Sounds like bearings to me.
that's a good idea, I have a stethoscope but had not thought of using it.

It's definitely coming from the AC not the power steering.

any way you can get a video of this sound?
High side pressure sounds close to where is should be, Id prefer to see it a little higher... low side pressure is too low.... But because both sides are a little low like that it would suggest that you do not have sufficient refrigerant in the system.. Expansion valve could also be stuck closed...but I am assuming that it is new.. However, expansion valves are slightly different going from R12 to R134a
here's a short vid, it's not a belt noise I'm pretty sure.

there is no idler, it's on the same belt as the power steering and the steering pump moves to create the tension.

Ok, let me ask you this? I know it might be a stupid question but did you make sure you put at least 4 oz's of Compressor oil in the system? I use to always put in the oil after I pulled a vaccum on the system and would use the gauges to add the oil and then add no more than three cans of freon. Also if your watching the A/C compressor when it is squealing is the clutch turning on the compressor or is it look like it might be stopping and going like it might be trying to recycle as if low on freon. If the expansion valve was mal-functioning you would be getting real high side readings when it is running. If all else fails and it were mine and you have to gauges designed for servicing A/C units and you have access to a vaccum pump I would remove all the freon you have in the system and pull a vaccum until all your gauges read zero. Turn off all gauge valves and begin adding freon back into system. If you added oil first time you should not need to add again as vaccum pump will not remove the compressor oil. Reason for doing this is you may have an air lock in the system and being a closed system it has no way of venting the air lock. When system is operating at normal depending on out side air temps 70-80 degrees, High side should be 190-200 lbs and low side should be 50-60 lbs. Good luck with your Rambler.
I added about 3 oz of oil. Compressor mfg said it wasn't necessary, but typically with all new components I was thinking 1 oz of oil per new component. So, new condenser, new dryer and completely flushed and cleaned evaporator so I figured 3 oz. The compressor came with oil.
I initially installed three cans, which seemed like a lot. I was trying to get the low side up but it would never get in the range I thought it should even though the high side kept getting higher. I pulled a vacuum on the system for about 6 hours before filling. Filled some liquid to start through the high side with the compressor not running. It took maybe a whole can almost. Shut that side valve, cranked it up and the pressure was high enough for the compressor to come on. Put the other two cans in through the suction side as gas.

Grayfox 54 is right never take one apart.
that's good to know, I was thinking about taking mine apart for a good cleaning. Haven't cleaned it before, no point in starting now.

It's not a belt squeal. The pulleys are in good alignment and riding high in the grooves. It could be that the belt is too tight. I usually install belts on the tight side when new. I'll adjust that and see if it makes a difference.
The noise is definitely coming from inside the compressor. Pressures: 1500 rpm, 7 low side, 165 hi side at about 85 degrees ambient, vent air is running 46 degrees. I've always thought since charging it that the low side as way too low in comparison to the high side. I had it charged up to about 250 hi side and still the low side was less than 10. Wondering if the expansion valve is not letting enough refrigerant through at higher rpm causing some sort of "starvation" on the compressor suction side?

Anybody know about car A/C? I'm working on restoring a 64 Rambler and have just installed an all new system (using original evaporator). It's seems to work great, but the new compressor really squalls at rpm's over 3000. Trying to troubleshoot it so I don't damage anything.

built several back in the day, 5 years or so ago. The HF presses work fine. Mine was wobbly as well and would not hold square so I set it with a carpenters square then welded it solid. Worked great ever since.

With prices like this I don't know why Remington doesn't re-issue a batch. Back in the day nobody liked them. I remember working for a distributor and we always had them sitting on the shelf in the box, couldn't sell them. It had a "plastic" stock, whood want a gun with a plastic stock? HA

I've got one I bought a number of years ago, paid $85. It's been one of my favorite shooting guns. Has always functioned and been pretty accurate. Don't think I've ever cleaned it.

Was passing through St. Louis last week and decided to stop by Cabelas. Not looking for anything, but was just a nice detour. Wandered over to the used gun rack and saw 4 Nylon 66s and could not believe the price tag. I mean, yeah I know it's Cabelas, but dang, what alternate universe am I in? They had two with this price, and they looked brand new. The other two showed some usage but were still priced at half this. Wow, could not believe it.

We've got 6-8 buzzing around two feeders. They spend more time fighting each other than eating it seems. Actually had 4 eating together the other day, that has been pretty unusual. They can really do some dog fighting which is a hoot to watch.

I'd go with a mig of some description. I had a stick for a long time and it just seemed to take more skill. The mig is much easier, at least for me. You might check around at some of the pawn shops. I bough mine at one and they will usually deal on them. I bought a mig and sometime later a tig unit. A lot of times they will have good accessories included with them.
The most important thing you can buy after the welder is a quality helmet. The low end ones just don't work that well. I didn't know it until I used a Jackson Safety model. I think it was about $150 and my welds improved by at least 100% afterward.

Maybe our no longer needed eclipse glasses could help these folks.
It looks like they have expanded the duck and cover instructions. I haven't seen the Civil Defense logo on anything in years.

looks like the Chinese glasses are making their rounds. A business in Mt. Juliet was selling them and have now discovered they are not approved. Woops.

I was looking forward to this event, but, jeez the media and everyone else is about to blow a gasket talking about it. I live almost smak-dabb in the perfect spot, but this thing is getting milked for every ounce. I about can't stand it anymore. All the hotels here are sold out, so a guy just a little east of me is renting out spots on his hillside for viewing. Cops are afraid people will just stop on the interstate to view it. If I hear one more story of how to tell if your damn viewing glasses are "certified" safe I think I'm going to puke. Don't they realize they are all made in China and those sneaky Chinese will print anything on them they choose regardless of how they are made? Did they forget about all the lead paint they used in kid's toys which were "certified" lead free! I guess where there's a buck to be made someone will be there to exploit it. Hell, there's probably better than a 50% chance it will rain or at least be cloudy that day and that specific time.
