I had what you describe with my stihl 170 chainsaw. I use their oil and 91 alcohol free gas. Finally took the arrestor out after cleaning several times and it runs great again without it. Bill

Always great when my son stops by for a half hour visit. Always tractor talk as he has a mahindra with a backhoe. He and it never sit still for long! Bill

I found a piece in the side of my ford taurus nearly new winter tire. It was my own fault I laid a few short pieces by the garage door. Then when backing it out I turned the wheel to soon. There was a bang, bang, bang against the wheel well and a hissing sound. One of those moments when you...

Just want to say you are not the only bald guy from upstate NY! Bill

I am trying to put the name on that, isn't it Murphy's law? Where the dragging cord, rope etc always catches? I had it yesterday trying to just pick one bungy cord that wanted to hook and bring a friend along no matter how I turned it. Finally had to set down what I had in the other hand to get...

Some trickle chargers now need to detect a certain minimum voltage level to even charge a low battery. I have fooled them by connecting jumper to a good battery for a second. You would confirm lack of charging voltage before and then if it was charging after the jump connection. Not saying it...

Looks way better than when you started! Hope that is the worst you have to deal with in this swap. bill

I didn't think about that, I guess engine would be clockwise rotation? and wouldn't stay tight. Unless you pin or have a setscrew.

What if you cut it off leaving the threads and make a matching threaded coupling from some hex stock or long coupling nut. Then you could bore the shaft size on the other side to shaft od before welding them together. Then that gets threaded onto the crank end. i would leave the existing nut in...

Looking at your first picture I see threads behind the nut. Is it possible the shaft is threaded into the crank and the nut is a lock nut? Maybe try a pipe wrench or vice grips to see if it backs out before cutting? I have no experience with this model just crank pulleys in general held by a...

I kept looking at the filter and hoses on my L2501 and decided to make a guard before a stick got in there. Last year I had one grab the hose on the right backhoe stabilizer and rip that off. I use a piece of steel from a steel frame building that is 10" wide and a 4" flange up and down 16"...

Have to agree Bob, if I make more trips vs on and off I'm OK with that. Bill

I bought my 2 post lift 19 years ago when i put up my shop. I figured then it was better then instead of a snowmobile or a four wheeler as i would use it year round. Used it this week doing pads and rotors front and back on the subaru. Last year I got my retirement L2501 and have both forks...

My first thought seeing the damage is it got used as a pulling or lifting point over the bucket. I would think the borrower knows it happened. Bill

Sorry, I guess I missed that from earlier in the discussion. Bill

Also that pattern is used on garden tractor rear wheels like the 12" wheel for the 23x 10.5 tire i think is on my husquavarna. 27/54. Something like that wheel is quite rugged and drop bead. Again you have the center hole to deal with but I think it was henro that talked of using a hole saw...

Not on my short list to buy but sure would like to have one of those. Would be great for chipping the limbs from my firewood trees. I have an old self powered troybuilt branded one and it just isn't worth the time to start it. Bill

If you were to weld a 2 piece wheel would you still be ale to mount a tire like a drop center wheel that lets the bead drop in the middle to mount the tire? It is a totally different style of mounting. just a random thought before you commit to welding. Bill

I lost some of my sense of smell with covid back in jan and it hasn't returned yet. I can smell things cooking and food, coffee, but not gas or diesel. I would have had a real mess if I had the filter leak you did. Can't smell my own or the dogs methane but wife lets me know if she detects the...

My land looks like that and i was out with the rake today. Got a lot of them out but more to do. I just made a bucket like you describe jay. I used some 1" bar grate i had but it didn't get the dirt to sift thru. I am thinking I might cut some of the bars to get it to 2" space by bending them...
