First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Hello,all! So, first I want to say thanks for this great community, I am looking forward to learning and contributing in the future.I just purchased my first tractor a few weeks ago"1949, molly" and am just now changing the engine oil and tranny. The most recent history of this tractor is that is has been sitting in a barn for 5 years basically unused waiting for a restoration until the owner heard I was looking for one and agreed to sell. My "first" 2 questions are this.
1 The PO put a used battery he had sitting around on it to replace the absolutely dead one on the tractor and it worked OK the day I was there but when I came by a few weeks later to pick it up, no go. She started fine with the crank though so we used it to load and unload the tractor no problem. After charging the battery at home and checking volts to see that it was a 12 volt I called him to ask when it was converted from 6 volt and he said it wasn't. Oops... he grabbed the wrong battery. It was a small 12 volt in his defense. Other than 2 blown headlights, should I look for any other damage?
2. I drained the transmission and put 3.5 pints kerosene in with the intent to run for a few minutes and went to hand crank"remember, no battery" and no joy on the start. I did a small amount of choke and set the throttle a little above idle. There was a lot of fuel dripping out under the Carb so I removed the bottom drain and the brass side plug and that stopped it." Flushed it out?" Most importantly, when I unhooked the pipe going up to the breather, about 1/2 cub of gas came out. Am I right in thinking I just flooded her? Also, if I can't get her started today, should I drain off that kerosene from the trans or can it stay in?
I'm sure to come up with more questions and would like to post a few pictures when she's up and running.
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
To answer the easy question - you can leave the kerosene in the transmission/differential until you get the tractor running. Then drive around for 5 to 10 minutes, drain and replace with gear lub or Hy-tran.
Since the tractor was running, I believe you have several problem areas.
1) I would pick up a 6 volt battery.
2) Check the ignition system. Due a complete tune up, probably due any way.
3) Clean the fuel system including the carburetor, gas tank, line and sediment bowl.
4) Lastly, the electrical - charging system.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Dead battery = no start hand cranking unless it has a mag instead of a distributor.

Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Eugene, you recommend gear lube or Hy-tran for the tranny. There is a big difference in the properties of gear lube and Hy-tran. Maybe Hy-tran would work, after all it is tranny fluid, but myself I'd feel better using 90w gear lube. Am I all wet thinking that Hy-tran wouldn't be the best bet? I think I'm due for a teachable moment.

Not that it makes any difference but the IH fluid I buy is 80-90 weight.
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Hy-tran does seem a little thin but some folks like it a lot.
I use 50/50 Lucus and 90 weight.

Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
mollywobbles, be aware that if your tractor REALLY is still a 6 volt, it is most likely a POSITIVE ground...the 12 volts are negative ground.
Also, if you haven't been to a Cubfest, you should consider going to one...a great place to meet other cub folks and get help with your own tasks. There is one about 2.5 hours from you at Boss Hogg's VA Cubfest (usually in April) I think you would enjoy it, and you can get a lot of help with problems you might still have. Welcome to the Forum and good luck!

Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Excuse the ignorance but how can I tell if my tractor has a magnito or a distributor?
Also, I am picking up a new battery today, my friend is a dealer for intrastate batteries. Anyone have an opinion on that brand??
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
If you can start it without a battery hooked up it is a mag. If a distributer it requires a battery. Also, a distributer has a visible coil attached somewhere. The mag has a hump right behind the distributer cap that contains an inside coil, but some owners have also attached and outside coil with a mag, but a distributer has no place for an inside coil, if any of that makes any sense. Welcome to the forum.

Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Molly, you only about 40 minutes or so it seems from me, if I can be of any help let me know. I visit zions crossroads frequently for shopping and such. Welcome to the forum, there are tons of great people here and more information than a man can stand.
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
You'll get different opinions on batteries (or most anything else for that matter) but I also have a friend who sells Interstate batteries. I've used them in a lot of stuff and have had no issues with them. Pretty much all I've bought have been 12 volt, though, I can't comment on their 6 volt batteries.
Your 49 should have a magneto, if it has not been changed over. The mag will have an internal coil and only a ground wire from the ignition switch. The battery ignition will have an external coil with 2 wires attached to it. When you crank, by hand, do you hear a "snap" sound every half revolution of the crank? If so, that's the impulse mechanism in the mag operating.
Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
The next time you attempt a start, making sure you are getting oil pressure within 20 to 30 seconds. If not, shut it down and prime the oil pump. Remove the oil filter cap and filter. You will find a small hole in the upper right portion of the filter housing. Pour about a cup of oil in that hole. Turn the engine over and you should get oil spurting back out that hole. If not, add some more and try again. Replace the filter and cap when you get circulation. Running without oil circulation will produce disastrous results.

Re: First Cub!! and already a few questions..
Attached are pictures of both systems. Both magneto and battery ignition systems have a distributor.
The difference is the magneto generates its own electricity to produce spark and has its coil incorporated on the magneto unit.
The battery ignition system requires an auxiliary power source to generate a spark. This system resembles the automotive style distributor and remotely mounted coil.
No battery power is connected to magneto fired tractors, the wire you see connected to the side of the magneto is a wire that is grounded to kill the spark, not power it up.

Curling Shoe Maintenance
Are my curling shoes ready for the season?
Here at Goldline, customers often come into the store with their curling shoes in hand, wanting to know if they should be buying new shoes. Here is an overview of the discussion I will typically have with the customer.
First and foremost, fit is the most important thing that you need in a curling shoe. It doesn't matter how much money you originally spent on the shoe and whether the shoe is in pristine condition with fine unscathed leather. If it doesn't fit properly, you probably shouldn't be wearing it. If the [...]

Sweeping Forward: Goldline Curling Brooms
Posted on October 1, 2013 by Andrew
Other than shoes, a curling broom is one of the most important pieces of equipment in which you will invest as a curler. While the basic features of the broom have remained relatively stable over time, Goldline has always found way in which you can express yourself out on the ice.
Last season, Goldline introduced an exciting new series of NHL curling brooms, featuring the logos of our seven Canadian NHL teams. This year, we're excited to bring even more new options to the table.

The Norway Pad - take your sweeping to the next level!
Posted on September 11, 2013 by Andrew
The Norway pad: it has taken the world by storm!
The Norway pad (featuring M-Brush technology) is a high performance pad that was introduced by Goldline last season. If you've not seen or used the Norway pad, here are the key things you need to know:
The surface of the pad has noticeable ridges. The ridges of the pad are where the vast majority of the debris is captured. The pad itself is also very firm.
Key to the efficiency of the pad is its waterproof fabric: even in the late ends of a game, you will still see frost accumulation on the surface [...]

2008-09 Women's Cross Country Coaches
|(239) 590-7274
In her six seasons at the helm, head coach Cassandra Goodson has taken the FGCU men's and women's cross country teams from their humble beginnings to a competitive D-I program. Highlighted by two finishes in the top half of the Atlantic Sun Conference and three trips to NCAA Southeast Regional Championships Goodson's leadership has taken the Green and Blue to the next level.
The success of the program under Goodson's direction is evident with a glance at the Eagles' all-time record book, as the top 10 all-time marks for women's 5K and 6K and men's 5K, 8K and 10K were established by runners from the Goodson era.
During the 2013 season Goodson led the men's team to five top-five finishes, a first-place finish at the Westminster Academy Invite, wins over Miami, LSU and Vanderbilt, a fourth-place finish at conference championships and the program's second trip to NCAA Southeast Regional Championships. The women also placed first at the Westminster Academy Invite and finished two meets in the top-five. A total 36 personal-bests and 20 individual top-10 finishes were recorded this season.
Under Goodson's training seniors Argeo Cruz and Kelly Perzanowski ended 2013 solidifying their titles as the most prolific runners in FGCU history. Finishing first in three races this season, including the A-Sun Championship race, Perzanowski was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Female Runner of the Year, named to the NCAA South All-Region Team and the Atlantic Sun Conference First Team. She reset the FGCU all-time record in both the women's 5k and 6k, twice. Cruz was named to the NCAA South All-Region Team and to the Atlantic Sun Conference First Team while resetting the FGCU all-time record in the both the men's 8k and 10k. Together Cruz and Perzanowski own every school record, all of which were posted during the 2013 season, as well as 44 of the top 60 times. Both Cruz and Perzanowski left FGCU running faster than when they entered as freshmen. After four years with Goodson Perzanowski's personal best 5k time improved from an 18:36 to a 17:21, while Cruz went from a 15:36 to a 14:49.
In 2012, Goodson guided the men to five top-five finishes, a program-best fourth place finish at conference championships and the team's first trip to NCAA Southeast Regionals. On Oct. 29th the men were ranked 14th in the South Region poll conducted by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association and ended the season listed third in the rankings of NCAA D-I cross country only schools. The women saw a similar success finishing in the top five four times and sending a pair to NCAA Regionals. Cruz, Perzanowski and Barrie Cohen continued to break records and prove the program's ability to compete on a higher level.
During the 2011 campaign Goodson led the men's team to three top-five finishes, including a season-opening first place finish at the FGCU Invitational, and top 10 finishes in all six competitions. The women's team saw equal success under her guidance, with top 10 finishes in every meet and three top five finishes. Four women's runners established new personal-best 5K times, while nine men's runners set new personal-bests in 8K events this season. Supplying top finishes for the Eagles all season, sophomore Argeo Cruz and junior Barrie Cohen each earned the programs' first-ever Atlantic Sun Runner of Week awards after their performances at the Walt Disney World Classic, running to season-best times at the event. At the A-Sun Conference Championship the Green and Blue ran to a seventh place finish in the women's 5K while the men took eighth overall in the 8K race. Additionally, Goodson coached a pair of men's and women's runners at the NCAA South Regional in Tuscaloosa, Ala. in the Eagles' first year of eligibility.
In her first three seasons with the Green and Blue, Goodson was constantly moving forward while achieving a slew of program firsts including three overall meet wins and three members named to the A-Sun All-Freshmen teams. Her athletes continually broke program records and posted personal bests. In her inaugural season Goodson paced Megan Thies to a new program record and Kyle Brunette to improve his personal record by almost two minutes.
Goodson joined FGCU from the University of Southern Mississippi where she served as the head cross country and assistant track and field coach from 2006-2008. In here two year at Southern Miss Goodson's coaching efforts produced three track and field program records and an NCAA Regional Qualifier. Under Goodson's direction former Southern Miss track athlete Vincent Tanui improved his 5000m time from a 14:58 to a 14:11 qualifying for NCAA Regionals.
Prior to coaching at Southern Miss, Goodson competed professionally throughout the United States in sanctioned USA Track and Field road races. Goodson was a two-year letterwinner with the cross country and track & field programs for the Golden Eagles. She owns two school indoor records in the running events - the 3,000 meter with a time of 10:16.55 and the 5,000 meter with a time of 17:52.65. She also holds the school record in the outdoor 5,000 meters with a time of 17:31.81 and the 10,000 meters with a time of 37:01.65.
Goodson helped the Southern Miss team to a second-place finish in 2005 with two fourth-place finishes in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters.
Goodson competed in track and field and cross country for two seasons at Diablo Valley College in Concord, Calif., where she was the most valuable member of her cross country team. She was the NorCal 10,000-meter champion and finished fifth in the state in the same event. She was a four-year letterwinner at Chaminade College Prep, where she was an All-Conference selection for four years.
The Chatsworth, Calif., native received her bachelor's degree in psychology from Southern Miss in 2005 and is the daughter of James and of the late Marina Goodson.

Dana Rohrabacher on Welfare & Poverty
Republican Representative (CA-46)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. BARBARA MIKULSKI (D, MD): [In developing national service over many years] we were not in the business of creating another new social program. What we were in the business of was creating a new social invention. What do I mean by that? In our country, we are known for our technological inventions. But also often overlooked, and sometimes undervalued, is our social inventions.
We created national service to let young people find opportunity to be of service and also to make an important contribution. But not all was rosy. In 2003, when I was the ranking member on the appropriations subcommittee funding national service, they created a debacle. One of their most colossal errors was that they enrolled over 20,000 volunteers and could not afford to pay for it. That is how sloppy they were in their accounting. I called them the "Enron of nonprofits."
And they worked on it. But all that is history. We are going to expand AmeriCorps activity into specialized corps. One, an education corps; another, a health futures corps; another, a veterans corps; and another called opportunity corps. These are not outside of AmeriCorps. They will be subsets because we find this is where compelling human need is and at the same time offers great opportunity for volunteers to do it.
Opponent's argument to vote No:No senators spoke against the amendment.
Provisions Relating to Earned Income Credit: Amends the Internal Revenue Code to repeal the supplemental young child credit and revise and increase the earned income credit.
[As part of the Contract with America, within 100 days we pledge to bring to the House Floor the following bill]:
The Personal Responsibility Act:
Discourage illegitimacy and teen pregnancy by prohibiting welfare to minor mothers and denying increased AFDC for additional children while on welfare, cut spending for welfare programs, and enact a tough two-years-and-out provision with work requirements to promote individual responsibility.

I want to make a splash screen for my application. I do not know where to put the jpg file. I have copied it to gfx folder in carbide.But what path shoul I give to open the jpg file. eg. _LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"\\private\\<My SID>\\splash.mbm" );
I want to make a splash screen for my application. I do not know where to put the jpg file. I have copied it to gfx folder in carbide.But what path shoul I give to open the jpg file. eg. _LIT(KtxMySplashImage,"\\private\\<My SID>\\splash.mbm" );
Basically the path depends solely on how you would want to store it. So indeed it is good idea to have them in your private folder, and in that cae you can use same path as you show already there. Do note though to determine the drive on runtime, as well as , do remember to add all required files into your pkg file as well.
I have little doubt. by private folder-> does it mean this path
1>I have to copy my jpg file there?
2>Then I have .jpg file. Where do I get splash.mbm? or can I use splash.jpg?
3> If I copy it there, how I will deliver the app? do I need to create the image in the same path in phone after installing the app?the deliverables may not have the image there? I need the image to be embedded in the app. but after writing this I feel that I am going wrong somewhere in my understanding.
4>what is <MySID> in the path?I guess it is UID3 in mmp file?
Last edited by sandeepmhptr3; 2012-12-04 at 13:03.
You can get some code pieces from http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ymbian_C%2B%2B, though the article does not contain a complete application.
Your private path is the \private\<SID> on any drive. <SID> is your Secure ID, in 8-digit hexadecimal format, without any (0x, $, h, etc.) prefix or postfix. Secure ID can be specified in the .mmp file with the SECUREID keyword. If it is not specified, it defaults to your UID (specified by the UID keyword, which is always present). The 0x100039ce is a common UID for all kind of graphical applications, so the other one is "yours" (usually 0xEsomething if you generate a new project with Carbide.c++)
You can use .jpg, but in that case loading it will require some work with CImageDecoder. It operates asynchronously by default, but actually it is possible to "straigthen" out with the EOptionAlwaysThread flag. See http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ymbian_C%2B%2B, the second code snippet.
.mbm is the native bitmap format of Symbian, it can be loaded with a simple CFbsBitmap::Load call. It is built from .bmp images, the .mmp file supports it. If your SDK contains an example called "Graphics", containing files like ball.bmp, and background.bmp, you can check how its .mmp file creates the .mbm.
Here is a Wiki article about .mmp stuff, it also shows this bitmap magic: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/MMP_file
I have a tab component in my application flow. I am setting it through resource in .rss file
The problem I am facing is-> the tab component is still present in the splash screen, whereas it should have come in the second screen.The views belonging to the tab are not there, only the top portion is showing. How can I fix it. Any suggestions?Code:RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO { /**/menubar = r_menubar; /**/cba = R_AVKON_SOFTKEYS_OPTIONS_EXIT; status_pane = r_service_mobile_status_pane; } RESOURCE STATUS_PANE_APP_MODEL r_service_mobile_status_pane { panes= { SPANE_PANE { id = EEikStatusPaneUidNavi; type = EAknCtNaviPane; resource = r_service_mobile_navi_decorator; } }; }
Why not keep splash screen as full screen view(when activating splash screen instead of passing clientRect(), pass ApplicationRect() )
after the splas screen is over with its work, I want do delete it but it crashes.There is no crash if i do not delete thw view.can I delete a view?
Code:iSplashView = new (ELeave) CViewSplash; CleanupStack::PushL( iSplashView ); iSplashView->ConstructL(); AddViewL( iSplashView ); // transfer ownership to CAknViewAppUi CleanupStack::Pop( iSplashView ); iSplashViewId = iSplashView->Id(); SetDefaultViewL( *iSplashView ); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CViewNormal* NormalView = new (ELeave) CViewNormal; CleanupStack::PushL( NormalView ); NormalView->ConstructL(iTabGroup); AddViewL( NormalView ); // transfer ownership to CAknViewAppUi CleanupStack::Pop( NormalView ); iNormalViewId = NormalView->Id(); // view id to get view from CAknViewAppUi SetDefaultViewL( *NormalView ); ActivateLocalViewL((iNormalViewId)); RemoveView (iSplashViewId ); delete iSplashView;

why not follow the view switching flow in symbian : http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ews_on_Symbian
You should be able to delete the view after it has been removed - if you can't then there is a problem which you will have to debug based on the type of crash.
... or you can take Vineet's advice - the normal flow doesn't delete the view, but the view deletes its CCoeControl which is what would consume most of the memory.
Hi Hamish Willee,
Thanks for your reply. I am not getting carash if I do not include the following lines->
RemoveView (iSplashViewId );
delete iSplashView;
But I get the crash if I include them
Rest my code is same as given in the link suggested by Vineet
I am not using any resources except for 2 in the container of the view->
CFbsBitmap* iBgPic;
CImageDecoder* iDecoder;
and the destructor of container is as follows->
delete iBgPic;
delete iDecoder;

Symbian shows some short error messages by default, however in development time it is better to enable the longer version: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Commu...ded_panic_code
As wizard says, find out more about the crash and we can possibly better explain why this is failing. In any case, the big resource here is probably your iBgPic - so provided that is deleted when the view is deactivated, the fact that you still have a view in existence is unlikely to be a problem on current devices.
hi, I have enabled the "Extended panic code file" option in Tools -> Preferences menu. this create file "errrd" in C:\S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK_v1.1\epoc32\winscw\c\resource. I run the application, but I do not get a panic code. the emulator just vanishes after running for sometime. also while debugging it shows "no source found for ekern.exe". I think the view:oDeactivate function is not called when view is switched. I conclude as I notice iContainer is deleted in CViewSplash::~CViewSplash()
after i call RemoveView (iSplashViewId );
as i have the code
void CViewSplash:oDeactivate()
if ( iContainer )
AppUi()->RemoveFromViewStack( *this, iContainer );
delete iContainer;
iContainer = NULL;
if ( iContainer )
AppUi()->RemoveFromViewStack( *this, iContainer );
delete iContainer;
In fact , I think that may be CViewSplash:oDeactivate() is called after RemoveView (iSplashViewId );
and I found that- If i include RemoveView (iSplashViewId ); , CViewSplash:oDeactivate() is not called
If i do not include RemoveView (iSplashViewId ); , CViewSplash:oDeactivate() is called last.
but RemoveView (iSplashViewId ); is the last line of APPUI->ConstructL(). So, I think I should not delete the view. It is not possible in my case.
Last edited by sandeepmhptr3; 2012-12-07 at 04:35.
There's no need to call RemoveView() to delete/deactivate the splash view. Simply implement DoDeActivate() in the splash view & also no need to write the same lines of code in its destructor.
When you need to activate the NormalView then call ActivateLocalViewL(viewid), this would invoke the splashView's DoDeActivate() & NormalView's DoActivate().
The actual machine code instruction raising the debugger is residing in ekern.exe, however if you start scrolling the call stack, sooner or later you will find your own code with source, showing the exact line which raises the panic.

Poor quality, pretty from afar, would never want this fabric touching my skin. Washed the sheets and after first wash they pilled. Don't buy.
so excited about getting this. when i recieved it. It all lookedl like it was pasted together. plus this is no way blue. it is a green blue. so disappointed.
Bought this because I thought. for the price and all that was included, it was an amazing deal. However, when I opened it, everything down to the pillows were wrinkled, the color was more of a green rather than blue, and overall I was just disappointed in the quality. I didnt even take it out of the package...boxed it up and sent it packing :(( I am giving it 2 stars ONLY because all of the items that came with it....otherwise I would have given one.....this probably would be appropriate for a bedroom that doesn't get used at all...not for a master bedroom.
Love this bedroom set, great quality for a great price. Lots included with this bundle and everything has been great. I always worry about the sheet quality coming from bed sets like these, I usually end up buying others of better quality but I have absolutely no complaints here!
It looks nothing like the picture, it is more of a green and a very cheap fabric. I can't figure out how to send it back, plus it took forever for shipping. I have never complained about a product but am very disappointed in this one.
I was a little worried by the negative reviews I saw after my purchase. However, I am very happy with it. The sheet set is less than 200 thread count, but is very soft. The color of the comforter is a light blue / green just like the photo. The items are nicely sewn. I did not see any cheap craftsmanship as others described. This is an excellent buy for the price.
This is a wonderful comforter set for the price. Sheets, shams, and curtains are all very nice.
The set is beautiful, but it is very cheap quality. If you hold the comforter up in the air you can almost see through it. It may not last through a wash. This is a lot of pieces for the money I must admit. The blue I was expecting to get is not a blue. It is more like a green. The curtains are so thin you can see right through them in the daytime. AT night they look brown and in the day they look completely different. There was not a lot of stuffing in the comforter, really thin.
It seems to be a good deal for the price however the colors are way off. it is mint and gold picture is deceiving. Looks brown and blue in picture but is way off. Material used is cheap, discount store product.
I just received my Amaryllis 24-piece room in a bag today. I was very happy! I was a little skeptical at first because of the few negative comments, but I am so glad I didn't listen & ordered anyway. It is BEAUTIFUL. Everything was there, it was packaged very nicely, pattern/design was perfect, color was very pretty...I just absolutely love it. I will order again from overstock.
