I hear you fabricator, we have a basement but it's a walkout. I'm thinking about some sort of safe room after seeing the damage to homes even with full basements.

General Discussion / Tornado to close for comfort
March 02, 2012, 04:53:45 PM
Wow, Henryville Indiana got hammered this afternoon, by a tornado. We are only about 25 minutes south of the school which seems to be heavily damaged/destroyed. Local news reports 35 children and adults were in the school building at the time and are all safe. One report stated 5 area people dead so far. My wife and our children are safe and we had no damage. My sister inlaw left work 15 minutes before baseball size hail destroyed all vehicles at her employers parking lot. We just got an email that our daughters classmate lost their home and vehicles. Something like this Puts things back into perspective.

Thanks cujet,

I emailed xyzer, he hasn't made them for some time now. I ended up drilling the dipper myself. I'm sure there is a better way but I bought a $12.00 vise for my drill press from Harbor Freight. I drilled about half way through from each side, it turned out very well.

Listeroid/Petteroid/Clones / hollow dippers 6/1
February 07, 2012, 11:20:15 AM
Hello everyone,

I bought a 6/1 Listeroid from someone who bought it as a kit for a generator build, he went as far as assembly and got it to running condition. I am going through the engine and doing alot of reading. I would like to go to a hollow dipper and big end solid bearing.
Are either available from forum members or other sources?

Thank you,

Mike
