While off topic, I can always get good advice here, and perhaps some have some experience with this. Since I moved onto a piece of land which has been in my family for many years, but not lived upon for 30 years, I have had numerous confrontations with individuals in a stream going through the property. Most recently it involved a dirt bike riding within the stream bed. The individual was not pleased to put it mildly when I informed him he was on private property, and asked him to leave. He informed me that I was interfering with "the locals" and he had done what he wanted there for 27 F%$#$ing years, and I did not own the creek (I do in fact, as it is a non-navigable stream, and dirt bikes are not allowed in any stream, regardless of it's navigable status). The last confrontation resulted from a 4X4 pickup. He ended up with trespassing charges, as well as a couple stream violations. I feel I should build a water gate of some sort to avoid these type heated confrontations if possible. Now some details on the creek.....it is 120 feet wide at the roadside from bank to bank, and the water has risen to over 8 feet deep on the bank during high water at this point, however currently the water flows easily through 2 12 inch culverts under a low water bridge which has been the point of entry for these individuals. Normal fencing materials would certainly not withstand the waters, but I was considering swinging a cable attached to something on each bank. Any ideas? Or leave it alone, and keep confronting the trespassers? I am tired of the verbal abuse I am getting on my own property, but letting them do what they want is not an option in my opinion, and the land is posted.

Fortunately when you step into your shop and make that jump 50 years back in time to work with your old tractor, this concept goes out the window. Even so, when it comes to the charging system, people quickly revert to this idea and start replacing the major components one at a time until it works. The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
