I would use J B Weld ! I've had good experience with it on my 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep repairing the front Head Bolt that got stripped. It comes out like cast iron ! If it is drilled right into the whole block - I would try it even inside the bore hole. If it doesn't pan out and provide the...

The Earth is the ground !! If you touch the ground wire or buss and you are better grounded - you will complete the circuit and get electrocuted. I had the experience of getting shocked on a ground wire from my tv set when I went to fix a rusting ground on my existing outside antenna and I was...

I bought this 14 gallon gas (can/container) about 10 years ago. The only problem I had was that the hose disintegrated and I bought a new hose at NAPA. My problem is/was getting better diesel cans - but found these on sale at Tractor Supply. I treat all my gas and diesel with the appropriate...

I would physically move the switch inside the seat closer to your body - so that your weight would close the switch easier. Right now it looks like when they made the seat - the switch was put too low and it needs a lot more weight to close the circuit - Depending if the switch is indeed an...

My 1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A has never had the clutch stick due to rust. However my tiller for my JD Tractor (from Tractor Supply has instructions after use to loosen the clutch so that it does not stick. First I hear that this happens. My JD 1025R does not have a clutch - so no worry there.

Check out TRC (Texas Refinery Corp) the best grease for EVERYTHING ! It stays on and is just-about waterproof. I use it everywhere. Try the 880 C&C or the Paragon 3000 ! Since 1922 !!

What is missing here ? THE BALLAST BOX !!! I never ever use my (2018) 1025R without the ballast box - which is fully loaded with close to 400#s. That differential lowers the front axle amount by a large number. The only time the box is not on is when I have the tiller on or the box blade...

I have a Shopsmith V (actually 2) One is the regular lathe with the new add-on head w/up to 10,000 rpm and the other one is the OLD head on a separate home-made stand where I put the 4" belt sander and the Bandsaw on it. This way I don't have to remove these when I need them - they're always...

Wow ! Let it idle for an hour and it was only -2° F. It was -6 the other day (coldest day yet for us) and I let it idle for about 10 - 15 seconds and off I go snowblow. I had a problem with it cutting out the engine with the blower on and going into reverse (when it came back from a warranty...

They used to do this here in Maine. Now they use salt to cut down the dust in dirt roads. It is not done much - but I saw one doing it a couple weeks ago. Most roads are hot-topped now, but some back farm roads get it done. From Aroostook County - the largest county East of the Mississippi.

I have a set of the 42" (fork pallet length) with the bolts on top. Those bolts on top are in the way and stops going into a pallet (less about 4"). That is the only problem that I've had. I have used them only once so far. It does work - but you have to be very careful !!

No ! I think that in a few years you will see problems with electric vehicles - whereas - when the time comes to charging, you will start encountering brownouts when everyone gets home from work and plug in their vehicles. Soon they will start applying charges to electricity use to help pay...

When my 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A starter stuck last year - I hit it with a hammer as hard as I could - and - it would not dislodge the starter. I had to loosen the bolts and then heard the click when it (the bendix) let go ! It did not hurt the starter - but - I did tear it apart and oiled it...

I bought my 026 in July 1990 and it still goes very good. My muffler fell off a few times and that bolt finally would not keep on. I had to tap the threads to the next size and it worked out better. Best saw I ever bought. I use it alot around the house and on my 59 acres of woods. I used...

Hello there out across the country. The height thing is very important for safety around power lines. Just make sure that your blower does not reach that high !! You don't want to get zapped !! With no power lines around - any height is good as long as its with-the-wind ! Be safe and have fun !
