Leave a small gap so you can watch to see if jumps the gap.

Are you sure you have spark? Pull a plug wire and check for bright blue spark, if none then run a wire from the battery directly to the coil and try again.

Can I cook? Yes, do I, no I do not. She does all the cooking and I do the cleaning up after. A fair division that works for us.

Because it is about some of the best most dependable things in our lives...

Want to give a big (y) to Carrie at Flail Master, she called me this morning to say she had located the bearings (10 actually) and at a better price point than I had found so far. She expects to have them in hand by weeks end and to me next week. She went out of her way to help where many...

Thanks for the info. Google found the $174 bearing this afternoon when I had time to search, I like the price of the KRRB bearing much better. The dimensions appear to be identical but I have not been able to determine if it is lubed though the inner race same as the KPPB. Still researching...

I got my Mott 72" fine cut out to use and found one of the bearings in the roller had gone south. It is an older style with the bearings inside the roller that unfortunately Flail Masters is not carrying anymore. So now the search begins to find replacements, FAFNIR 1106KPPB Z. Yeah I will...

I have yet to find anything that can be done in Windows that cannot be done just as easily in Linux, even if it means using "Wine" (which I don't) to run a Windows app, that is if you are dead set on using an app written for Windows. I have found there are usually several Linux apps that will do...

I quit using WinDoze over 12 years ago when I was disabled from work. For my personal use I had switched open source Linux and never looked back. Easy to use, secure and none of the BS crap Windows forces on the user and FREE.

The 8N I had handled a 6' bush hog and 7' back blade and the lift was in less than good condition so after an R&R of the hydraulics it should handle your implements with ease. I would try rebuilding the lift cylinder first, it maybe all that is really needed.

Been using 50/50 motor oil & diesel on my trailer floor and have yet to have it be slick when wet. Just gotta let have time baking in the hot sun.

Typical failing coil symptoms. While it is acting up, DO NOT wait for it to cool down, immediately pull a plug wire and check the spark I am sure you will see it is yellow and not blue like it should be.

When we bought our Honda CR-V it was made clear to the dealer we were paying cash. They begged us to finance and pay it off at the first installment it saying it would "help" them. I told them they had to help me then by dropping the price even more than negotiated to "help" me "help" them. They...

The numbers are stamped into the transmission case not the engine. The 960 is all about the transmission, which is the only part that is serialized, not the motor. At some point in its history someone put a transmission from a 960 into it. They will swap just fine, it appears to be a...

I did it by installing the sending unit in the upper radiator hose. Used a piece of metal threaded to match the sending unit inside the hose and a washer on the outside for the unit to tighten up against. Was still working fine when the tractor was sold. I got the idea from a kit I once saw.
