“Runs with Scissors” is a really Like-able Guy. His opinions are …well…. mostly good. But We All have momentary failures. (my wife says so.) DO NOT PUT ANY KIND OF GOOP in that tire if you want to save that tire. I actually like a particular brand of goop for preventive, anti-thorn...

Then it wasn’t the bearings. It’s the shaft or other issue.

That oil can sit for YEARS….and it will STILL be ON the bearings, shafts, etc…. instantly ready to lubricate at start-up. (It’s a common “worry” many owners have about initial oil pressure at startup. But engines do NOT wear out bearings and there-by need overhaul/rebuild. Ever. I’ve...

@jyoutz : That’s a nice set-up…. And that’s a Very Good Filter set-up. Don’t worry about changing that filter element…. EVER. (no joking) The amount of fuel you’ll use in your lifetime will never task that filter. (I have mine on a 40-yr old converted propane-tank that had questionable...

WalMart SuperTech 15W40 Everything else is SuperFluous

That statement may have some truth in it… but it’s not the primary reason. The Primary reason mfr’s and dealers rarely supply NOS parts more than 10 years old is due to simple marketing/accounting practices coupled to tax-policies. I used to work with a warehouse-man for Chrysler/MoPar in...

Couple years ago my Kubota starter relay died. Kubota wanted first-born male grandchild plus shipping for that relay. Used a common automotive “cube” relay (they’re all rated 40A)…. at the ”jungle” …. 4 of ‘em …with leads….for $13. Installed one. That was years ago. Still works great...

It’s because Amazon was able to market it without having to “warehouse” or “floorplane” it for months or years. Don’t worry. You got it cheap. Be happy.

Your concern is real and I would not want another stressed-hole that close,. Certainly not within 5’ or so. The idea of mounting it on an old truck-wheel/rim is a good one. I used a discarded 18-wheeler or heavy-equiptment “split-ring” wheel-rim (also called “widowmakers”). Old tractor...

You’re revealing YOUR bias…not mine. He was a Mexican National.…and the reason it was mentioned was because it revealed HER lack of bias and HER devotion to the man.. (That was 32 years ago and they’re now celebrating the birth of their 2nd grandchild.) Doh! Oh…btw…what do you imagine MY...

@hokie: :love: Love the RR-Owner answer! My previous post re: supervisor: I was in a similar situation: I had hired a man to do some welding and he was using 6011 rod on some structural members. I told him I wanted low-hydrogen rods … and offered him some 7018‘s I had on-hand. He...

Sounds like a supervisory failure.

OR…you could do what newer vehicle mfr’s do…. Delete the damn thing since no one ever checks it anyway. :devilish...

I have owned an “off-brand” drill press for a number of years. It’s a “CLarke” model BT1029 according to the china data-plate. It was purchased at TSC as a gift from my wife about 20 years ago. (I had heavily suggested the gift idea when I saw it on sale for $165.) Anyway…..The V-belts are...

I’ll never understand the level of self-abasement amongst those who deface themselves thusly. (Is it that they fear others so greatly …that they deliberately make themselves repugnant…so-as to ward-off others?) That degree of psy-disorder evokes a wary response from me, and I avoid such people...

….and don’t forget “everything you post”. 👻

If/When it gets to the “minus” temps…. I don’t make my tractor do anything…..(it’s an open-station.) The dog which adopted us and I stay inside:

IIRC…it was a 4-lb system.
