That method has an odd history. 1 ton cube van. Back wheels were stuck. A day of fighting and sledge hammering to try and free then from the hub. Bottle jack between frame and pushed as hard as i dare. At some point i was washing my hands and water got really hot. Truck was right there and i...

Re: Experienced Weldors... As a matter of fact, i uploaded a video on youtube. https://youtu.be/_-yZYLaH4xA I didnt mention i drilled into the end of the air hammer Bit to make a concave. Keeps it on the stud. I tried it on a ford 5.4,no water and a gentle rattle,slowly increasing power...

Re: Experienced Weldors... It takes an awful lot of heat to melt aluminum in that manner. The aluminum draws it away so quickly and the coolant dissipates it. Break off a bolt below the surface that way and after welding on it, its virtulally impossible to drill. I havent welded to a...

It doesent take long to figure out a hoe. Regardless of the controls. There are 2 versions of the controls, ask the rental guy if it can be switched. Reason is,if you are having difficulty, then the other may be easier. Excavator controls vs. Backhoe controls. As far as digging in wet...

To practically donate your machine so someone can make a profit? Strikes me as a parasite. To hire you and machine would have been a better Course of action.

Not a biker. I’m sure someone is lurking around the corner waiting to run me down. Rode dirt bikes in my youth and had a blast. Dismounting my tractor is like doing a little dance, carhartts, steel toed boots and a seat that needs to go back a few inches. That coupled with footboards that...

The small tires are a real pain to fix. I usually tube them. If i cant use a tube i will do my best to seal the rim,a product for sealing the bead, or when im really fed up with a leaking rim,a bead of good silicone sealant.Buddy’s golf cart had a rim that constantly leaked. I siliconed it...

I have replaced manifolds/gaskets intake and exhayst on all 3-ford gm and dodge trucks. Tools,cost of parts and time.general motors wins hands down. Spark plug changes too...

As mentioned,choke left on. Unless you replaced the floats,needle and seat it could be dumping fuel. It doesent take much fuel to flood a crankcase. If carb is flooding,it should pour out overflow tube. I believe that atv is gravity feed,so no fuel pump to leak fuel into crankcase.

I worked at 2 ford dealerships and 1 chrysler. 3 general shops as a tech and service writer as well as 9 years as a jobber counter parts man. Hand a young tech a carb and tell him to rebuild it and he be runnin home to momma. The technology is great,fuel mileage isnt. I had a 69 corolla that...

I dont think skid pan needs to be removed for oil filter access. Take a look from under the hood. It may be easy to access from above. My understanding the box panels are spot welded, not riveted as mentioned. No bodywork. No dent repair,panel replacement only. Special repair process. Dedicated...

What are the low temps going to reach? That will change how this is dealt with. Run hot/cold in an oversize pipe with your heat trace. Some “pex” will withstand freezing and you want some flexibility between the 2 buildings. Not relevant,but the water line here runs under my driveway. 20”...

Probably under the seat(s) Thats where i would put it.

Basket case. Was a 273 auto. Still need to pin down the exact model. Only odd thing so far is the vinyl roof. They called it a targa top that year.

Ok. Now i know. Leave with dignity. Internet etiquette. Im not going anywhere, but i bought a 65 Barracuda and im distracted by that.

I second the shipping container. Easy to resell when you are done with it.

I wore chaps only once. In the bush, chaps are cumbersome and get snagged on every little branch and twig. The pants are lighter and more comfortable, but hot in summer. The ones i have have zippers to ventilate,so it helps with the heat. I paid 100 taxes included and dont regret it for a...

At least you still have your marbles.. Used to run one of those,summer job as a dock hand /labourer at the airport. It was the runway mower. Great on the soft ground.

Old job. Task of the salted sand spreader. The easy answer is no. A rod to agitate sand needs considerable power. There is some formula to reduce bridging. High speed motor with a weight to create a vibration. A recliner with the vibration feature runs on 12 volts I have one i use for...

Genius. Redbeckery at its finest. Safety squints-AVE strikes again!! Everybody is a fan. Dont know how long the pdl motor will last, but it seems to work. Electromagnet, needs some jiggery pokery and a fuel cutoff solenoid..
