Yikes! Hunting from helicopter or snowmobile is completely banned in Sweden.

We also have a growing wild boar here. They do great damage to all sorts of farmland as well as gardens and parks, mainly in the southern parts.

They get approval on a case by case basis to helo hunt. The videos are epic. The guy that i made the hog traps for caught a 450 pound male in one, and boy was that hog pissed off. They can be pretty mean. I have seen cars and pickups totaled out by a wild hog by hitting one as they cross a road.

At least i know my welding holds up. This one beat the **** out of the trap trying to get out. By the time this guy got to him to get him into his stock trailer it had split its head open ramming into the metal frame of the cage trying to get out. None of my welds failed Lol.
 
HOLY CRÄP!

I've re-wired my electrolysis rig (see pic) with some proper crimp terminals and an aluminum wheel as heat sink (WAY overkill). I decided to make my little welder pseudo-DC while I was at it. I can connect the welding cables on the AC side or the DC side of the rectifier. No choke or capacitor to filter the rectified voltage yet, we'll see if I get there.

Anyway, I never cleaned off the one control arm I ran last week but I decided to do that with the other one. There was some loose rust, old road muck and some rust protectant to scrape off. Once I put this one in, the hum of the welder increased considerably, suggesting a much larger current.

After a while, the bath looked seriously like a lasagna. When I turned the work piece over to work on the other side and connected the cable, some serious sparking occured and there was a sharp BANG and a flash. I guess the foam was full of hydrogen gas. My ears are still ringing. It was about as loud as a small caliber pistol.

I almost soiled myself ...

They really aren't joking about the whole 'well ventilated area' deal ...

Here's what the bath has done for the first LCA so far:

Hahaha whats the last thing a redneck says before he dies?

Hey Y'all watch this !!!

Dont do it Anders, dont do it !!!

I was fooling around sometime ago MAking a hYdrogen generator. Its all the rage on youtube these days. Theres folks making these monster battery looking hydrogen generators and supplimenting their mpg with em. Even a guy who built one in the truck bed of a late model dodge pickup and ran his truck completely off of it. It looked like a giant Mr. Fusion from back to the future LOL. So yes be careful with that.
 
First I read that North Korea has detonated a nuclear hydrogen bomb, then I read that you're trying to become the next Kim Jong-un! :poke:

:rofl:

Ha ha, yeah.

I ran the other LCA in three different orientations today and yesterday. The bath got pretty hot eventually. There is no sign of rust anywhere but the surface is pretty black. I read about this, it is another form of iron oxide and it comes off pretty easily but it's a pain to brush it off and to get into all the crevices. I could use a chemical way of removing it. I'll ask around some. I know plenty of people with a degree in chemical engineering.

I didn't bring my phone when I removed it from the bath so the pics will be postponed.
 
Here's how my LCA turned out. Still a few places where the electrolyte didn't get at the actual material, there's some rust protectant in the way. The steel wires are just my electrical connection points.

The black stuff is apparently not really necessary to remove before paint.

Oh, and this arrived. A little play in the main throttle axle, not sure if it's too serious. The secondary is tight.

I think there's something missing, though. The idle adjustment screw doesn't have anything to go against.

The chole pill off linkage is missing. The aidle mixture screws are under the two plugs in the front also what # carb is it.

Anders are you hoarding parts like the rest of us?

Yep! :D Actually, I got the caliper bolt just to use as model for making new ones. And the carb stud is for the AVS I got the other day.

That carb could be too far gone to save, We'll see. The primary throttle shaft clearance is noticeable.
 
Thanks Ulf!

Can someone explain to me what it would take to go to cables for shifting and kick-down? I have a 727 from 1972 (I believe).

Summit racing makes a torqueflight 727 kickdown cable assembly $29.95 US. You have to reuse your existing lever on the trans.
PN# SUM-200034

Hope this helps

On non stock applications etc the summit kickdown cable is the way to go. Trying to find the stock rod and bellcrank arrangements and making it work with non stock intakes and carbs is impossible, and that stuff is hard to find anymore, and can get expensive. Best left to the resto crowd.

You should double check that part number to be sure though
