consisting of oak ,pine and cedar 100'' boards
haven't checked if its flat sawn or quarter sawn
any idea what a fair price ,would be helpful

A good connection no doubt, but I bet each end is more expensive than the cord was.
a lot more, but cheaper than a crew getting Zapped and passing

Only problem I have with them is they're not weather tight. Molded ends are.
they make a rubber boot to cover the connection
plug the 2 halves together and you can submerge the connection in water with no problem
we used them working for BECHTELL POWER Corp. building power plants
new crate of power cords com in the apprentice electricians would cut the ends off
the journeyman would install new HUBBLE twist lock ends with boots.

we let our crew have the winter off and don' use lights to encourage laying
with the bread delivery every week it helps in the feed bill
warm porage for breakfast helps them too [bread in warm water[

I don't trust molded cord ends
seen too many fail and start all sorts of problems
I install HUBBLE ends on #12 or larger cords
I do have a couple of #18 cords for running small tools for immediate use but that's all

as long as you have 80% you will be fine
what jeeper said does happen to older tank installs if the tank is totally empty
new install's are required to be anchored
did the installers get a permit or was it done ''under cover''[no permit]
before it was backfield it should have been looked at
Mike

also how full is the tank.... cant read the gauge in your picture
-
wen installed was there anchor straps installed around the tank and screw anchors put in to the ground?

That is a nice looking restoration you guys did with it. It also looks like it could go right back to work too! I remember the old Milwaukee RR using these to bust through the drifts the rolling hill cuts the tracks ran through around our farm. Gary😉
the only issue is the main timbers are a little rough and should have been replaced
to be used
we had to chain it in place so the foot ball team would not roll it down hill and in to the woods
