Coop 7484 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted February 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 Some grade 8 bolts, three boxs of #60 roller chain, three packs of half links, three packs of master links, big bag of peanuts, candy. That’s just what I got and my wife got a few things. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardA 5032 Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 I got a Rural King flyer a few weeks back, My neighbor saw it and has been going once a week buying feed for his critters, Cattle, hogs, chickens, ducks, goats, dogs, horses and mules. He tells me it saves him a ton of money compared to the local Co-op. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You being a Texas Cowboy they sell lasso rope’s too. Just lasso that hawk off the top of the birdhouse. Ship the hawk to Eastern Iowa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would put a cooking stove heating element on top of the birdhouse. For the hawk to sat on, but it would be red hot. He want try that but one time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1223 Posted February 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Coop, can you tell me how to wire this electric motor? A ole country boy don’t know how. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 7484 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1223 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Dave I’m spending what little money I have on the live rollers that I’m working on.
