Farmer I used to be. My people were what would be considered a real small farm today. Owned by my mother's father in the 40s it had everything, milking, steers for food, hogs, chickens, fruit trees and a huge garden. About as self sustaining as it gets. By the 60s everything was phased out...

Engine machinist/builder here. The first move is to get it apart to assess if the rest of it can be machined and rebuilt. The outside wall hole is not critical to operation or engine life if tapped and plugged. Don't over think it. If concerned about the serial number when acquiring parts the...

I'm dragging this up from the dead. I just finished a deck restoration. Rustoleum paint has been drying for 3 days in the sun. Seemed done to me. Sprayed on the Mo-deck and the paint immediately crazed. Sigh o_O It's just going to have to stay that way as I am not stripping this thing again. I...
