![]() ![]() Simply install the Bulb-tite and finish the rivet head with an Olympic head-shaving tool. The Bulb-titeís large blindside footprint functions well in rivet holes that have become elongated or too large to allow use of a solid rivet. The Shaveable Bulb-tite simplifies repairs made to solid riveted assemblies, as rivet replacement does not require access to the blind side of the application. ![]() The Shaveable series of Bulb-tite rivets are designed for use in applications where solid ìbuckedî type rivets are commonly used such as truck/trailer body assembly or repair. RV6605 Large Flange Head (Protruding Crown) RV6603 & RV6604 Dome Head (Protruding Crown) Some Bulb-tite sizes are also available in steel and monel materials where higher strength is required. MATERIAL CHOICES: The standard Bulb-tite rivets are made of aluminum alloy, providing a durable non-rusting fastener that can withstand weather-related corrosion. Shaved Bulb-tite rivet heads then match the appearance of solid rivets in the assembly. The Shaveable Bulb-tite rivet head is finished using a special head-shaving tool. They are ideal for repair of solid riveted assemblies where access to the applicationís blind side may be no longer accessible. The unique Shaveable Head Bulb-tite was specifically designed for use in heavy truck and trailer applications where solid rivets are used. Color matched plastic finish caps can be snapped onto certain Bulb-tite head styles to conceal installed rivet heads. Standard Dome, Low Profile, Large Flange and Countersunk head styles are available. CHOICE OF FINISHED APPEARANCE: Bulb-tite rivets are offered in a variety of head styles. Fewer rivet sizes may be required resulting in reduced inventory requirements and simplified fastener selection. Most sizes fasten over a 1/4" thickness range. MULTI-GRIP CAPABILITY: Each Bulb-tite handles a wide variation in material thickness. ![]() Oversized or elongated holes can be adequately covered by the large leg formations to resist pull through under stress in high tension-load applications. The folded legs individually conform to curved surfaces enabling fastening onto pipes, corrugations and other challenging shaped applications. HARD-TO-FASTEN APPLICATIONS: Bulb-tite rivets function well in materials where other fasteners fail. This enables soft, thin, ductile and even brittle materials to be securely clamped without deformation, cracking or other damage to the application. HIGH CLAMPING: The large three-legged upset head evenly distributes the Bulb-tite rivetís high clamp load over a broader bearing surface than do conventional blind rivets. Bulb-tite rivets are less prone to failure in high shear loads. HIGH STRENGTH: Another benefit of the Bulb-tite rivetís retained mandrel core is the added strength it provides. Adding the optional washer to the Bulb-tite, creates an additional seal around the perimeter of the rivet head, to stop moisture from intruding beneath the rivet head. This crown-crimp effectively seals the rivet bore off from intrusion of dirt and moisture. WEATHER TIGHT: A special nose tip on the rivet installation tool crimps a crown feature on the rivet head. *Flush mandrel break requires use of special Bulb-tite installation tool nose tip. The Bulb-tite mandrel breaks off *flush with the rivet head. Rivets > Blind Rivets > Bulb Tite Blind Rivets Bulb Tite Blind Rivets "Bulb tight" Blind Rivets Handle Your Attaching Problems with Ease and at Low Costs HOW THE BULB-TITE WORKS: During installation the rivet body folds into three separate legs, forming the blind-side upset head. ![]() ![]() ![]() The engine air cleaner will require more frequent inspections due to it’s location – the fan will blow dust directly into it. The left steering clutch cross shaft has no provisions to grease it so a generous application of penetrating oil should be applied at service intervals. You may find that you will have to replace a lot of grease zerks so a good supply of metric zerks will come in handy. One shot for the drive clutch release bearing. Don’t assume the machine has been greased – six shots in each track adjuster spring (these tracks are not adjusted with a grease gun), four shots in all the track rollers and the two idlers, two shots in the swing frame pivots and the equalizer trunnion up front underneath the radiator, and all of the dozer blade zerks. When you take delivery remove the large plugs under the steering clutch compartment (these are die cast with an external hex) and inspect for oil – there shouldn’t be any. Well, first of all I would want to be assured that a good pre-delivery service was performed, all oils changed over from the Chinese shipping oils, the cooling system was flushed and refilled with a suitable coolant, steering clutch/brakes are adjusted properly. I like to be able to get onto one of my pieces of equipment and know that it is ready to work. I am a person who is very particular when it comes to maintenance. As far as maintenance goes, it looks pretty straight forward, but if anyone has any tips that go the extra mile and help take care of the machine better, I want to learn. I would rather not find out something through the school of hard knocks that the machine should not do, when someone has already graduated that school and could share that valuable information before I have to pay admission. I know this is a smaller dozer and will be good for what it is designed to be used for. What I was looking for primarily is, the do’s and don’ts. (Didn’t say why) I don’t need the FEL I have 2 LS tractors that fill that bill. I checked with Keno tractors, because their Yuchai dozers come with one, but they don’t expect to get any new dozers in for sale this year. So I guess one leg will get a good workout. I would love a shuttle clutch, but Nortrac does not offer that. I am and electrical contractor/electronics mechanic and have a small farm, so I am familiar with many types of equipment. I would not call myself an expert on any of them, but do have many hours in the seat of tanks, crawlers, dozers, track loaders, etc. I do have experience with tracked machines. I like the Nortrac 2 year parts and labor warranty. I have looked at dozens of used small dozers and have found none that I would sink good money into. That is one of the reasons I am going the Nortrac route. I have been stalking your posts for some time. or is there an actual wet clutch pack that could be slipping when under load?ĭo to EPA regs timing of chinese diesels seem all over the place.Thanks for responding Bob. What about the the left and right clutches for the tracks? my understanding were these were just dry brakes that would stop one track or the other. So I'm thinking the engine clutch is okay since it will stall the engine in H4. I had zero clutch pedal free play, so per the manual i adjusted the shackle for the clutch pedal, i now have about 1 inch of free play. this is starting from a stop with engine at full throttle. High 3 it runs fine, but H4, and then engine smokes (black/gray ) and bogs down and will die. I hadn't done much in High range yet so i just took it for a stroll on our gravel road and that's when i found out the engine doesn't have enough power to drive in High 4th. ![]() i tried pushing on a small tree to test this in Low 2 and the engine didn't load down at all it just stopped forward movement and didn't spin the tracks. When i was doing a bit of work or when turning sharply i would notice both tracks would sometimes stop without loading the engine down. Overall I'm impressed with the dozer but I feel dealer prep work is lacking. I have some questions I'm hoping some other nortrac/yuchai owners can help me with before I get upset with northern tool. I have been going over it and been doing some putting around getting use to it since this is my first dozer. So i took delivery of a Nortrac 35 XTD (with laidong 4L22-TA engine) ![]() ![]() ![]() Water, South Africa's most precious commodity please purchase bottled water for consumption.Please if possible refrain from driving at night.

![]() The Mechanist story arc is divided into six parts, it begins with the murder of Mayor Murphy in Scollay Square. The Silver Shroud was featured in many radio plays, with actress Shannon Rivers providing the voice of the Mistress of Mystery for 26 years, though the only known story from the radio play is his fight against the Mechanist. A television show was in planning stages in late 2077 but did not make it to filming because of the Great War. Apart from his own franchise, his popularity led to his inclusion in the Unstoppables comic book with other Hubris Comics properties. While the character was extremely popular in the city of Boston, fandom for the Silver Shroud in other markets was not as fervent, though he was still considered one of Hubris Comics' most popular franchises alongside Grognak the Barbarian. His former love interest and regular accomplice, the Mistress of Mystery, is a reoccurring character throughout the series. He is always depicted wearing a long black trench coat with a scarf, typically silver or bright red, a black fedora, and wielding a silver submachine gun as his preferred weapon. If anyone else has any other ways to get around this bug or knows of ways to fix it, that would be very nice.The Silver Shroud is a mysterious vigilante who prowls the streets of Boston, targeting criminals across the city. It seems not doing the quest is the easiest way at the moment to get around the bug. I am very fortunate that I save quite often, and have a few saves a certain points, which I don't save over. I have resorted to going back the the time RIGHT before I became the Silver Shroud and just not give him the stuff until I can either get really good weapons and VATS or it is patched. ANother problem with using console commands is I tried the 'kill' command, but just 'kill' on it's own didn't work on the two guys.Īnother method is loading a previous save, but I have already done that many times. I was thinking of using console commands and either killing the two guys or giving Kent some armour so he doesn't die when shot, although the programing could be tuned to not how much health he loses, but if he gets shot, as to whether he does or not. I was thinking of a few ways to fix it, although I haven't tried them. I really want to get through this quest with BLOODY KENT alive, please help! I have already rage quitted and my computer has already crashed (for some reason) while trying to do this bloody section! ![]() I really want to convince him, I am not sure if anyone else has come across this bug (if it is one), I have searched the internet, and I can't find any posts of articles about this. ![]() I have tried VATS, but it's not working, as I can never kill the two of them, I never have enough AP, and drugs won't help either, as I don't have enough! I have really shoddy weapon accuracy. I have been stuck on this for AGES! I can't save Kent, I go up to approch the BLOODY guy with the Silver Shroud costume on, I walk very slowly, and he starts the line of dialouge to get me into the negotiation, but then he starts the second line of dialouge, which is the one when he shoots Ken, I haven't even been able to hear the whole sentence of his first line of dialouge! I have watched video walkthroughs for saving Kent, and I think this is a bug. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sacrificing herself, she sends Damon back to the mortal plane and is forced to endure Kai's torturous pursuit until she's left alone in the prison world without her magic.

Gaining the power of Expression, she was able to take down two Original vampires, as well as the very first immortal, Silas.

To be honest, I normally just pound chicken with my fist, because even though I'm a food blogger, I do not currently own a tenderizer. You can use a special meat tenderizing hammer, but a rolling pin also works. This helps the meat to cook quickly and evenly so it doesn't dry out. So watch carefully!Ĭooking chicken: the key to juicy chicken breast is pounding it into even thickness before you sauté it. 30-60 seconds really will do the trick, any more than this and the garlic may burn. Garlic: it doesn't take long to saute garlic. Add toppings like shredded parmesan, red pepper flakes and parsley if desired.Slice (or dice) chicken and combine with garlic butter noodles.Drain noodles and mix into the buttery sauce. Add garlic and sauté for 30-60 seconds, until fragrant. Put butter in the skillet and allow it to melt completely, then cook tomatoes in butter for 2-3 minutes.Place pan back on the stove on medium-low heat.Dump out this water and wipe clean with a paper towel. If your pan has excessive residue from cooking chicken, carefully pour ¼ cup of water into the skillet while it's still hot.Not all packaging specifies this, but I like to boil my pasta in salty water (I usually put 1-2 tablespoons of salt in my pasta water and it adds so much flavor)! Note: multitask here and cook pasta, according to package directions, while chicken is sautéing.Remove from pan and rest at least 10 minutes before cutting. Flip and sauté 8-10 more, until golden brown with an internal temperature of 165☏. Once oil is hot, add chicken and sauté for 8-10 minutes.Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat.Regular fine table salt also works, but I prefer a larger grain salt in this recipe because it adds really nice texture and crunch! Remove chicken from the bag and sprinkle both sides with black pepper and kosher salt (or sea salt).Place boneless chicken breasts in a large plastic bag and pound with a tenderizer (or your first) until they're even and ¼ to ½ inch thick.Keep scrolling for the full recipe card and measurements. Ingredients How To Make Garlic Butter Chicken Pasta Optional toppings: shredded parmesan cheese, dried or fresh parsley and red pepper flakes.For a gluten free version of this dish, I highly recommend Banza Chickpea Pasta! It's so good and tastes just like regular wheat pasta. Your favorite pasta: whole wheat rotini is my favorite! Bow tie pasta or penne pasta would also be delicious, and you can even use spaghetti noodles.Garlic powder will also work, I recommend using about ¼-1/2 teaspoon as it's quite potent. You can also mince up 2-3 fresh garlic cloves. Garlic: I always keep a jar of minced garlic in the refrigerator for convenience sake.You can leave them out if you want, or substitute something like broccoli or green beans. Cherry tomatoes: sweet and tart cherry tomatoes add great flavor to this recipe.You can always sprinkle in extra salt for flavor, if needed. Salted butter: unsalted butter also works in a pinch.Salt & black pepper: In my opinion, kosher salt tastes best! It has a larger grain which creates a nice crunch.You can substitute chicken thighs, if desired. Chicken: I typically use boneless skinless chicken breast meat.Extra virgin olive oil: or avocado oil.Feel free to experiment as you please.ĭelicious: this recipe is so simple but soooo good! It's something the whole family will love and it's ridiculously easy to make.

Forty-four kilometres north of Greymouth, along the Great Coast Road – named one of the Top 10 Coastal Drives in the World by Lonely Planet – is a bizarre geological formation: limestone rocks created 30 million years ago when tiny shell fragments were compacted between layers of silt, uplifted by tectonic forces, and etched by the elements into horizontal grooves to resemble stacks of pancakes. Later, we feast on pancakes – but not the fluffy, edible kind. Arriving at the penultimate stop, Moana, we drink in the lakefront scenery from the historic Lake Brunner Hotel, refuelling on beer-battered fish fillets under the glassy gaze of taxidermy stags – a somewhat fitting introduction to the wild, wild west! Like many of the West Coast’s 1.5 million annual overnight visitors, I’ve travelled across the South Island from Christchurch on the TranzAlpine Railway, accompanied by my nine-year-old granddaughter Ellie who is wide-eyed at the snow-capped peaks, braided rivers, vertiginous gorges and the 16 tunnels that flash by on the five-hour cross-country train trip. To others, it’s simply “the Coast” – a remote, untamed frontier that’s sparse in population but rich in scenic and mineral treasures, as well as harbouring 25 per cent of Aotearoa’s conservation land. To its Maori inhabitants, the region is known as Te Tei o Poutini – “the tides of Poutini” – named after a taniwha (or water monster) that swims along the Pacific coast, guarding its people and the spiritual essence of the sacred greenstone found in its rivers. ![]() |
