27 Cart Frame Stop

 Easy-Haul carts are excellent debris transporters that come in different sizes.  The largest cart is called a Jumbo Cart.  The cart tends to slide into a 3-yard dumpster when you lift and dump with it.  I noticed that the right side of a cart had a stop from the frame bending slightly forward.  I noticed that the cart is easier to control when it stops at that point as I am sliding it onto the edge of the dumpster.  I placed a new hose clamp on the left side of the cart frame at about the same point as the right-side frame-bend stop.

26 Portable Water-filling Tool

Portable Water-filling Tool

This is a tool made from
  1. a stock tank float-valve water-filler
  2. a lower inline hose valve
  3. a flexible hose protector
  4. an upper inline hose valve
  5. a flexible hose connector and
  6. attached to a water supply hose
You can set this tool in place and generally expect that it will stop dispencing water when the float-valve closes. You have to make sure that the float-valve level will close when there is enough water in the water container.

This tool will mount onto a variety of containers and you can move it easily from container to to container.

When using this tool, make sure that the supply hose leans away from the mounting clamps
