It worked!

I removed a leaking 50+ year old steel fuel tank about a year ago, the recycling place wanted a large port hole in it to see what was inside. I scooped out gallons of sludge and wondered how the furnace could run. I believe that sludge is delivered with most fuel oil and diesel fuel. Some new...

There is plenty of information online about cubic inch, horsepower and availability. Be aware that there are several 4 cylinder engines that folks have been calling "iron duke" and they are entirely different. The Pontiac version is regarded as the best, they were used in a number of brands...

Would it make sense to switch to an automobile gasoline engine, such as GM "Iron Duke" 4 cylinder engines? It would eliminate the short run issue of diesel but possibly increase fuel consumption.

I bought a cheap 52cc Vevor 6 in 1 trimmer combination knowing full well it wasn't high quality. The first issue was the chainsaw attachment wouldn't pump oil, I jumped thru all kinds of hoops because they just don't have replacement parts. Vevor finally settled the warranty claim by sending...

I'll need this bucket:

I had to look that up, what a stupid website! Looks like I would need a much larger tractor:

The T5 is a synthetic blend, only the T6 is full synthetic.

Disclosing tablets are still available.

I have a rental house with an oil furnace that uses fuel that is much the same as diesel fuel. The tank is in the basement where the temperature stays nearly the same year round. Since it is standard procedure for tenants to never fill the tank and most of the time have it near empty or...

I voted for the 2 doors. I would make them as wide as reasonably possible because you might want to move other things in and out, such as lawn mowers and small trailers. It is no fun to move the tractor whenever you want any of those smaller items.

I don't know where "Around here", or "under a rock" is, but I guess that the Amish aren't welcome.

Likely that the valves are stuck. The penetrating oil may not reach the valve stems and some disassembly may be required.

I worked with a guy that bought a new Ford pickup, he always took care of his vehicles so he used Slick50 in it and told everyone that they should too. After maybe a year the engine was spent so he traded it taking a large loss. I told him that Slick50 cost him about $5000 a quart.

I have a neighbor across the road and back a lane with a flock that size. They come over once or twice a day and patrol the lawn for a few minutes. They are welcome since they don't stay long enough to wear out their welcome.
