I am not the safest person around or the shapest saw in the shed, but I have not killed myself yet. I have a Stihl 311 that I use relatively reagurally around the farm. Chainsaws scare me so I am more careful when using it than with many power tools, but I still get in a bind sometimes. Where I...

You could get the one you have recored. Likely cheaper and you have one that is going to fit your machine. Check with an auto mechanic they will know where to go and what to do.

A steam engine requires about half the oxygen of a diesel internal combustion engine to operate. This became painfully apparent when diesels replaced steam trains. It takes nearly twice the Horse power ( the power to move 550 lbs 1 foot in 1 second) for a diesel to pull the same load over the...

not sure about that retrieving the grenade part....BOOM!

Just a bit large for my acreage.

My wife has developed a weird deafness. She cannot seem to hear things like "It is behind you", "let go of the rope" " look out!" Last Saturday we unloaded a round bale and rolled it into the pasture. When I was cutting off the wrapper I said to one of the cows "Working with Wifey is like...

I live in rural New England and have seen several old cars and trucks used for tractors. Even many tractors around here are 30 or more years old. It is not unusual to see an 8N out cutting, raking or tedding hay in the summer. Start with a solid framed car with a 4 cyl engine and a manual...

I would try using my spinning jenny. It works wonders with electric fence wire

Any advice I can give would be based on 30 year old information as although I once was a competent competition shooter and worked at one of the busiest firearms stores on the east coast I have been pursuing other knowledge and interests for 30 years. If I may... Everyone shoots a used gun so...

Even as a child I disliked christmas. As I got older it became the most hateful thing to me. After I got married I softened a bit through the years then a couple years ago my wife and I sat on the living room floor with our dogs head on my lap as she died on christmas day. So, yay, I am ready...

That may be so but skilled, aware drivers get hurt or killed on the road every day. I lived in Hillsborough County Florida for 24 years and my vehicle was hit 17 times, all but three times I was at a legal stop. None was my fault. Two of which I ended up in an ambulance, one with a broken...

ok, will try that next

neither linkage is frozen or stuck.

I recently purchased a 1952 TEA20 with a rebuilt engine and new tires that ran beautifully. After a couple months it starts and runs for a minute or so then dies. It is very difficult to get it to start again and dies almost right off. It is getting gas to the carb. The plugs look like it is...
