Coop 6567 Report post Posted February 2 I went to their website and they have 110 stores in 13 states, the closest to me is Muscle Shoals Alabama, 554 miles. That would be a good day trip and maybe worth it as they carry everything. Wish we had one closer. Spanky, what did you buy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just lasso that hawk off the top of the birdhouse. Ship the hawk to Eastern Iowa. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the hawk to sat on, but it would be red hot. He want try that but one time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1142 Report post Posted February 6 Coop, can you tell me how to wire this electric motor? A ole country boy don’t know how. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 6567 Report post Posted February 6 Yes sir! Simply remove one of the domed shaped covers and find your hot lug. They all look alike, so just pick one and attach the hot wire of your 18 ga extension cord. Attach the neutral to one of the other lugs, I understand that it doesn’t matter which one. Then, if you have a green wire on your cord, use an alligator clip to secure it to the outside of the motor or just cut it off. I hope I read the schematic correctly. Let me know if it doesn’t work and I’ll have another look. For others with less knowledge of electricity, please disregard. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1142 Report post Posted February 7 What does a 10 ft long 16 1/2” cherry and walnut board sell for per bdft at your store? That would take a big log to cut a board that wide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would take a big log to cut a board that wide. Cherry is $4.07 BF and the Walnut is $6.10 BF you can add about 2 bucks a foot to each for long but I think that starts at 12 foot and longer, still good prices I think, I’ve posted pictures here before of the supply he has, claims to have a million BF total in two buildings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
