Cleaning fins on the radiator and condenser takes more than a quick wave of the leaf blower. I routinely use compressed air to clean them. The jet of compressed air should be a more thorough method than a leaf blower. It wasn't until I did a more involved cleaning with water that I realized...

In the words of Navin R Johnson, "...it's a profit deal" :)

Wow! That's something I don't often consider when discussing things like this. AFAIK we usually pay less than $1.30. At $3.50 I'd have to look at other options.

Our original supplier was Agway and they were great. Then they sold off the LP business and things went downhill for us. Leffler was the last vendor before we buried our tank. When they took over the prices jumped. Then they would come "top us off" whenever the LP price went up. We changed...

We've had LPG since building here in 1990. Until 2012 our tank was 350 gallons and owned by the supplier. We buried our own 1,000 gallon tank then to get better control of our costs. It allows us to buy once a year when it looks like the cost is down. Wifey watches the prices and we have...

My one BIL had a pellet stove that was supposed to be able to burn corn. He had lots of trouble because he couldn't get the moisture content low enough and keep it there. Then he went with an LPG furnace.

I feel like I won the lottery. My tractor lettering is ALL IN THE OLD FONT! It'll surely command a premium if I ever sell it. :ROFLMAO:

IF the name would be applied using a stencil and spray, the new style would eliminate the problems with the interior parts of the B, O and A.

Three of these #8x1/2" wafer head self-drilling screws. The roof liner is around 1/8"thick fairly hard plastic. I opted to install them with a simple phillips screwdriver and skip power tools. They weren't difficult to start and I wanted to feel when they were tight. The threads are long...

It was mirror day. Stopped at a Mom & Pop auto store while in town to look for a mirror. They had a clip-on that was marked down to $8. It has four tabs on the back - two fixed and two spring-loaded so it can grab a factory rear view mirror. Old boy there said "This'll probably work if you...

Yes Skeets, it was good to get out and do something:) And today's mowing took care of the leaf litter* that wasn't hauled away on the forks yesterday. *Leaf litter = anything of smaller diameter than my XXL thumb. But can also include stuff up to 2" if it looks rotten:) When the West wind...

Very nice looking tractor. What are your intended uses for it?

Them yella ones are bi-cutual :)

The original horizontal muffler on my Ford 1210 rotted out and exhaust leaked out of the seams. The leaks and the front discharge of the strong exhaust made it really nasty to run sometimes. Running the muffler vertical I usually don't even notice the exhaust smell. The muffler on the Ford...
