Where to buy headlight fluid?

@ John and Sitesstables, I always send new guys for the mail Bouy with a bosn hook, or the keys to the seachest, or to (blow the EOOW)-highly unreccomended from last result...lol.... or the crank to the mast so we can clear the HRBT LMFAO!

Dave - PM box is full ..

Now when your talking Nortons you have me listening .

Then the Prince of Darkness has not given me much problem except for the starter switch on my MK3 Commando.

Lucas 3 position switch , Dim , Flickr , Black.. Would say off , but that isn't a option.

I don't know about my truck missing transmission, but when I had the mufffer bearings up date with an after market kit I had to take the intermedite pipe to the shop and put in the pipe stretcher to fit my eight foot box. but when they strecthed it It crack and we had to used some welding tac's to fill the hole.

still looking for the holy grail of Allis

I think you got that backwards, John Deere has with their AGCO parts.

I don't buy bulk bolts at our local Fleet Farm anymore. I bag 'em and take 'em to the checkout to get weighed. They immediately tie a knot in the bag before weighing it, so I'm paying for the bag of bolts PLUS the weight of the knot in the bag. Some people will do ANYTHING to make an extra buck!

If the new LED fluid would work to convert the old lights then they wouldn't sell enough high doller LED lights.

So that not going to happen. i'm sure someone got promoted for figureing out how to accomplish this.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

I can't believe that no one has mentioned checking the kenard shaft joints. Man if you loose a kenard, you are really in trouble!

One of my guys got another ticket for no trailer lights on his bob-tail...

This is for the inquireing minds that want's to know, where you would get headlight fluid--which would be out of your kitchen sink spigot.

The conventional process of producing acetylene in a headlight involves putting the calcium carbide in the lower chamber (the generator). The upper reservoir is then filled with water. A threaded valve or other mechanism is used to control the rate at which the water is allowed to drip onto the chamber containing the calcium carbide. By controlling the rate of water flow, the production of acetylene gas is controlled. This, in turn, controls the flow rate of the gas and the size of the flame at the burner, (and thus the amount of light it produces).

This type of lamp generally has a reflector behind the flame to help project the light forward. An acetylene gas powered lamp produces a surprisingly bright, broad light. Many cavers prefer this type of unfocused light as it improves peripheral vision in the complete dark. The reaction of carbide with water produces a fair amount of heat independent of the flame. In cold caves, carbide lamp users can use this heat to help stave off hypothermia.

When all of the carbide in a lamp has been reacted, the carbide chamber contains a wet paste of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). This is emptied into a waste bag and the chamber can be refilled. The residue is basic and toxic to animals so should not be deposited in locations where animals may consume it. However, over time the hydroxide will react with atmospheric carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate, which is non-toxic.

Small carbide lamps called "carbide candles" are used for blackening rifle sights to reduce glare. These "candles" are used due to the sooty flame produced.

It is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that we only have one oar in the water.

TA, that reminds me, I should post my 9/16 bolt stretcher in the classified. I don't think I've ever used it so it would be NOS.

I don't believe that you only have one oar in the water, the boat leaks and the bathtub is full, the sail is up and the wind is 0 mph.

Mousemilk is now obsolete. You remove the wiggle pin and replace it with a wobble screw which allows the headlight to operate without headlight fluid or mousemilk. You can by some accounts make the conversion economically which is possibly the most important reason for the conversion. According to off the wall wild speculation the conversion process is detailed in headlight fluid replacement literature.

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.
