Simply Tinker

Been tinkering my whole life and decided to start videoing it. Some creative projects and some fails. Enjoy new challenges and outside the box thinking. I hope to inspire my two boys to build their own stuff and have fun doing it.

    I like building things from scrap too. BTW, while your remote will work for now, to plumb in the second valve you need to use “power beyond” (or high pressure carryover). The high tank pressure on the main valve will eventually cause that valve to leak badly. I have two tractors where previous owners did this and I’m in the process of replumbing them both.
