    Furniture dollies?

    It's hard to fully appreciate how well horse hair brooms work unless a body tries one for themself. Since I began buying Kirby Vacs at garage sales several years ago they took over many shop vac duties.

    Furniture dollies?

    I'd have to double size of my shop were it not for simple 2x6 platforms w/wheels,wire racks on casters,tool boxes on casters and warehouse pallet rack.

    Fixing hole in side of block

    #1. Whoever said a few hundred posts earlier that Joe was being underestimated was right. Even if this tractor never runs,Joe long ago exceeded what most of us could predict. #2. Now, imagine if you can what Joe could do with same playpen and toys Runswithsissors has. #3. Based on past...

    Over the years I thought I heard every excuse there is for pulling a drunk but this one somehow slipped by me. 🥴

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    I haven't followed the case but I've seen companies declare bankruptcy,leave customers , suppliers and banks holding the bag and back in business within 90 days. Is EA business name the same or is there a variation from originally? Contractors around here go belly up leaving jobs unfinished...

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Looks like a burglar/trespasser deterrent (aka booby trap)⚡ to me. After that thing is finished with a man his pants will surely need to be hit hard with lots of laundry soap and hot water. 😵🥴🤕

    Do I need rod bearings? What explains this?

    If you expect any degree of longevity and reliability I don't see any way around removing crank shaft for at minimum polishing and most likely turning. Considering amount of sludge and low compression along with lower end damage I expect you are looking at total rebuild or finding a used engine.

    BX-2360 head gasket blown?

    ^^Good advice^^ and only way of knowing because quite often cracks aren't visible to the eye. Almost any engine machine shop can preform the test but I'd take it to a shop equipped to rebuild head if tests don't find a crack and indicate the need to lap/grind valves or something.

    Who else buys tools/things for the explicit reason of "Because it's too cheap to pass up"?

    :LOL::ROFLMAO:😂 You rack reminds me of the baker's rack I scored in trash a few years ago. After I added plywood it looks just like yours. I wouldn't be suspired to find out yours started life in a donut shop before moving up to a better occupation in the mechanic shop. They say one man's trash...

    Attn. HVAC pros..........Is someone "blowing sunshine up my skirt"?

    To each his own. I use Sil-Fos15 but more importantly,purge with nitrogen while brazing. I see less than 20% technicians purging and believe that accounts for many premature system failures. Right behind no purge brazing in slipshod work is inadequate (time wise) pump down on new installations.

    Fixing hole in side of block

    But rather than cheer from the sideline don't you think there's more to be learned by tearing an engine down and following along? Authentic gesture of solidarity with Joe is worth more than words could ever be. I'm behind Joe all the way and if I were physically capable I'd be right up there...

    Who else buys tools/things for the explicit reason of "Because it's too cheap to pass up"?

    Them fellers holding work for food signs would think it's good stuff if it was still around. The ABV was 12% which is equal to most anything out of Napa Valley and fine Chardonnays.

    Who else buys tools/things for the explicit reason of "Because it's too cheap to pass up"?

    This reminds me of a neighbor that asked me a few times if I would like to have some boxed ins that were in his way. I found it hard to believe but I was almost certain he had a couple of reclusive sisters he was fed up with and trying to dump them on me. Well one evening he showed while me...
