Yes, impacts will do that if you go 'guns a blazin' out of the gate on them. Usually if you sneak up the power using air pressure it will break the nut or bolt loose before it hits the 'rip the head off' point. As with all things, exercise patience. Let the penetrant soak at least an hour...

New consumer grade machines come pre-loaded with bloatware/junkware. It sounds like that's what happened in this case to that new Win 10 laptop. That's not Microsoft's fault, it's a manufacturers cost saving feature to get the price of the machine down. It's also not malware per se, the ads...

Nice that it gives you a readout on the machine. Beats having to turn the key on and off so many times or buying a reader. These tractors aren't ODBII are they?

The acetone is a wetting agent, allowing the ATF to permeate down into the threads faster than any other compounds. It doesn't need to mix, it's something like flux is to solder or brazing. The issue with the mix is how flammable it is. Both substances are highly flammable by themselves and...

Free options are: AVG Security Essentials (Microsoft) Malware Bytes and some other lower distribution variants. Windows 8 & 10 have Defender (Security Essentials) built into them. The Win 7 version of Defender is very weak so you need to upgrade that to Security Essentials at the minimum. I...

My wife an I have agreed that our 5 year old cannot have a cell phone until he earns the money to pay for it himself. Before then, if we get him one it will have 2 buttons, MOM and DAD (there are phones for just this). He has to earn video game time and TV time. If he has a rough day at...

The issue I have with pellets is that they are highly variable, even in the same 'line' of pellets. My fathers pellet stove/heater has trouble with most brands, but it's doing okay with the "Heatr's" from Home Despot, however it varies with the line. Some pallets do great, others burn less...

Agreed. You can double the price of that and get waaaay more dump trailer: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200311375_200311375 Or pay slightly less and get a larger, more durable unit: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200311375_200311375 Or slightly more and get...

Look at the unusual turf tires on the rears and the truck tires on the fronts... wow, very different back then.

Maybe I'm reading that PDF wrong, but it looks like the only adjustment in that linkage might be part #290, which appears to be a splined offset cam of some type. That would affect where the top and bottom of the selector lever would sit, which might be an issue if moving the selector lever...

Sounds like what yer saying is there is some slop in yer lever and it can't get things all the way up before ya hit the relief? Well, it can happen to the bestavus... {really bad joke mode /off} :D However, the crux of the joke is actually true, there is too much slop in your linkage and...

Oh yes. It was a 9mm handgun, standard magazine, legally purchased with an approved Federal background check and appropriate waiting period. Of course, you know this by the fact that they are shouting this from the heights. In media land they will let us know how well the gun control laws...

Hopefully he had it turned before he did the re-install of the clutch. They should be turned and honed before putting in new plates. It's about $80 at a machine shop.

There's all kinds of siping tools you can buy. It can be done with a good utility knife as well. It's all about patience.

I laughed at the intent of that, but you didn't need the flags. You're being watched anyway because of the NRA sticker you had up! :p ;)

Hudson sprayer and teak oil. Keep respraying the entire surface every 2-3 months depending on exposure. The oil will eventually fully penetrate the wood (or very deeply penetrate it) and pretty much counter the drying process. You can't skip applications though. If you miss one and the...

And take off that pesky paint too! :D If you clean your tractor regularly, you're right D2Cat... it only takes normal soap and water as you'd wash the rest of the tractor... ... however ... If you let it go a while, have leaked or spilled oil, grease, hydraulic fluid, anti-freeze...

Good work. Yeah, cooling is one area that our little Kubota's need some more work on. Then again, I haven't had any other compact tractors to compare them to so maybe they are all very light on the overhead. Don't you love it when a fix actually works out? :D

Now it's being touted as being racially motivated. I guess the race baiters finally got their first gold star with this guy, if that's true. I have never understood why something as unchooseable as the pigmentation levels in a person's skin have anything to do with anything in this world. I...

Yup, sounds normal to me. The lope is a little longer than I'm used to hearing but that's an older engine so I wouldn't think it's unusual.
