Greetings, and thank you for stopping by. You already know my name by now. But I bet what you didn’t know was you can find my RU-vid channel by going to geraldpost.com. There is a bit of everything there or so it seems from flying a Powered Parachute to making a decision whether to purchase a front-end loader. And that’s not a spelling error. From grandkids being pretended firefighters putting out a real fire to harvesting deer with a crossbow. I’m a retired deputy sheriff of 30+ years, with several other years as a police officer and Marine Corps MP. I live in s/e Wisconsin and own 40 acres in the great north woods also right here in Wisconsin. I simply don’t want to be a one-topic RU-vid channel. Some day with enough subscribers, I hope to take requests. You tell me what I should record. Please subscribe and be safe.
Gerald at 8:17 in the video you are holding a flash mount to install your dish on the roof. Where did you get it? What is it called? Can you provide an idea of where I could acquire or purchase that item? It looks like a great solution as my best option is to do my install like you did.
If you have a Starlink account, you can purchase their parts from them. The item you are looking for is called a "Flashing Mount". I googled "Flashing Mount" and also found Walmart sell them. I hope this helps. :-)
It’s been a few years now since I installed the tower. I found a used one for $250. Then with all the concrete, excavation etc I would say anywhere between $1,000 and $1,500.
I installed the flashing so the middle hole was pointing down slope so I didn't have to lift the shingles up. I don't think this flashing kit has very good instructions
It did not look so much like a crash to me. It looked like the pilot and passenger remained calmed, and a controlled emergency landing was made. In fact, it looked like a really great job done by both pilot and passenger to me. No panic. Just put it down where you had to do so! Grace under pressure...
We just bought a mountain property in rural California. We have DSL. I have purchased the Starlink system. My Questions are: Will DSL and Starlink cancel one another thus giving us slow speeds? We work from home so the internet is VIP for us. Are there special "Settings" I have to set for both DSL and Starlink to work together and give us faster speeds? I got both services because I didn't know what to expect and needed a Plan B. Our realtor said she had both services and her kids don't experience any slow speeds as they Game Online. I never thought to ask about the settings. *Do I just set up Starlink accordingly? *Is it plug and play or do I need to adjust Settings? *If so what might that be? *Is there a video someone can point me to? I would like to set up Starlink asap as they are charging us now and it's still in the box :( Can some of you gurus chime in and point this man in the right direction. Thank you in advance MountainAngel
I’m not an expert on Starlink or DSL. My first thought is Starlink is more than fast enough for 2 people working from home. Bout of course I don’t know how much bandwidth you’re using. Seeing that you already purchased the Starlink system, I suggest you set it up and try it out.
I have a 580C no breaks at all, been driving it like that for about 4 years, thought about doing this job but thinking I should just run another 4 years.
This is very helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video so thorough. I'm gonna install one of these soon and I needed to see how it's done.
Thanks for the video! Surprised they came up with a design where the bottom 2 fan screws are blocked, requiring extra unnecessary effort to remove the motherboard just to access the fan. TiVO Setup and background: I have a 2015 TiVO Roamio Series 5 (Cable model, NOT OTA) - bought with a Lifetime subscription (<< this fact will become important later - see part in red) which has served me well for the last 7 years (using a Cablecard from Xfinity for Cable TV). I have an 8 TB HDD in it (95% full of recordings) created using the mfstools process. I also had made an 8TB backup drive as well (cloned with Duplicartor). What happened in 2022: The bad - In 2022, my 19 month old 8TB HDD in my Roamio stopped working. The good - I replaced the faulty 8TB HDD with a new 8TB HDD (onto which I successfully cloned another 8TB 'backup' drive - (which I had made as a precaution). So far so good... www.tivocommunity.com/threads/roamio-boots-up-successfully-and-displays-menu-for-10-seconds-but-then-freezes-reboots-again-8tb-hdd-failed-or-corrupted-19-month-old-hdd.588847/ Now to the really bad part and reason for this post: Since my Roamio (non-Pro) fan was 7 years old and I was going to be working in the Roamio anyway, I proactively (now wish I had not) decided to get a replacement fan (from Weaknees). During the fan installation process is where the NIGHTMARE started... Everything went fine with the fan replacement as well TILL at the end it was time to reconnect the Cable Card bracket to the motherboard pins. I managed to bend some of these Cable card bracket connector pins on the motherboard (and they are small so it is hard to see which ones are bent and how far they were bent). By this time is was almost 2 AM (had to work next day) and I was trying to carefully bend the pins back gently to the extent possible. Well after an hour plus of checking and trying to fix the bent pins one by one, one of the pins snapped off completely. LONG STORY SHORT (note - this all dates back to 2022): I now use my TiVO Roamio (Non-Pro) for watching the recordings on the 8TB drive, but cannot use it for Live TV due to the broken pins (see above). I bought a Roamio Pro in 2022 (also added another 8TB drive to it) to move my cable card to so I could watch live TV. So I have 16TB of recording space between the two TiVO units. I use the Pro for Live TV and recordings. I use the regular Roamio (Non-Pro) for recordings only (due to bent pins issue above). If TiVO had not forced us to have to remove the motherboard to access the bottom 2 fan screws, I would never have had to remove the cable card bracket in the first place and never had the broken pins issue! Luckily the Pro is much much easier to service - you can just access the fan after removing the case (four T10 screws) - than the non-Pro model. I have to check if I only attached the top two screws after replacing my fan in 2022 on my non-Pro Roamio.
It appears that you put to router in garage. has that caused any issues with the service.? I ask because other videos state to centrally locate it in the house.
There is no router in the garage. I placed the 75’ cable from the dish to the router that is centrally located in the house. I went through the garage attic and into the basement of the house.
Thanks for the vid....what are you saving the o-ring for? Collection basket at church? HA! you remind me of doing , that is: having the thoughts of somehow being frugal! HA! There is a difference between frugal and simply being wrong!
SUGGESTION to ALL! NEVER ever ever ever begin repairs without pressure washing! (unless emergency)! First, your job will go much faster! Second, you won't end up with trash back into your machine!
I'm looking at a 1983 Lund Pro Angler 16 footer with a 50 Mariner. Been sitting abandoned since 1996! 900 bucks. Might be getting some skin in the game here soon!
It takes an Honest Man to post a video of doing something incorrectly - so that we don't follow in the same footsteps! Thank you for posting, Gerald! I will make sure to drain the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir first before I pull the filter.
@@GERALD_POST just went up on mountaintop property and was able to get our Case 580CK going today! I still need to get fluids and filters changed out but I had the heart attack Feb '23 and hadn't started it in a year and a half... I was relieved and overjoyed!
Hey Gerald, i have a case 580b and I was trying to take off the brake because the seal was leaking but the brake gets stuck somewhere and wont come off. Can you help me out?
Sorry Richard, I just went back and watched the video. I too had problems and somehow worked thru them. I don't remember exactly how I accomplished that. Sorry
Hey Gerald thanks for the video, I’m in a very similar predicament, did you cut out the little punctured section? And what is that brass union/coupling you used? I have a decent sized puncture,and was anticipated having to cut out the bad piece and solder/braze in a new piece of line. Coupling looks easier by far. Thanks
Thanks for the comment. The brass fitting was purchased at a local hardware store. Yes the Freon line was cut out to accommodate the high pressure fitting. I think solder/brazing would work too. I just didn't want to be working to close to the freezer with a heat source.
My brake shoes fit really tight on the inertia wheel/drum before I even adjusted the self adjuster. Everything looked fine, but was a tight fit. I hope they sent the correct shoes. Do you have any idea why?
@@GERALD_POST Good news!!!! Had a nice warm day today. Tractor started and brakes worked perfect. Owner says it's the first time in 30 years they have functioned properly.
Thanks so much for the video. I just got my Star Link unit here in the Philippines. I can't put it on my roof (metal roofs here) but I have a work around. You answered a question for me - the satellite dish swivels as well as moving up and down. Also, I'm glad the one and a quarter inch drill bit worked. I just bought a one and three eighths inch bit. Again, thank you for the very informative video.
As long as you know, if you could originally get ten wires in that pipe... Now you can only get maybe four... That number would include your ground wire.
