    Best attachment to dig up bamboo rhizomes?

    Bamboo roots can get as deep a 2'-3' below grade. Backhoe or excavator is the way to go if you don't want it back. The majority of the rhizomes are in the top 12"-18"

    How to "undercoat" mower deck.

    Paint won't last. Deck bottoms are painted from the factory. A truck bead-liner spray or under coating may work but the deck will have to be VERY clean for it to stick. The problem with a bead-liner/ undercoating is how thick it goes on, and the finish is rough. Your blades may not have the...

    Mowing Level (soon to be lawn) with tiller, disc or box blade?

    What I did; I needed about a week of good weather(its wet here in the P.N.W.). First step is very hard on a mower and blades. Scalp mow best you can without tearing up the mower to badly. Till one direction, Next day till again at 90 to first, next day till again at a 45. All tilling was done at...

    Any ideas what this is from?

    What are labeled as hole and hollow are just that. Nothing has been filled in or plugged. Good info about the old time Taps, Spigots and Faucets can be found here. https://winehistoryproject.org/spigots-and-taps/ Including a great patent scan from an 1890 "faucet" by John Sommer, Jr. From the...

    first time painting - should I grind off the thin surface rust or just apply rust converter?

    I'd use a wire wheel/ wire cup brush. Wipe clean, prime, and paint.

    Help iding box blade

    Definitely not a rear BB. I agree with @bcp its a Snow pusher. The springs allow it roll under if the load gets to heavy. Preventing damage to the pusher and the rig being used to push. Plus if you look close you can see the plastic/composite(? I think Pic is blurry) wear edge on the inside...

    Any ideas what this is from?

    I have 2 in my front window sill. It IS a spigot. Back in the day it was pounded into wood beer barrels and used to dispense the beverage. Now days, when you go into a tavern you will see a sign that says ### kinds of beer "on tap". The saying came from the old days of "tapping" the spigot into...

    Made a dumb mistake on a stihl 200T. can I get some input please ?

    I'm late to the thread, but this is what I would do; Remove the carb. Poor some mixed fuel in there. Block off the ports(2 clean rags) and give it a good shaking. The fuel will suspend the wood chips and dust. Unblock the exhaust port and poor the fuel out. Repeat if you think it is needed with...

    Chainsaw Caddy (carrier)

    During my making of the caddies, the garage door was open with a fan blowing the fumes to the outside. Once it was set in the mold and cooled the door was closed. Normally I would have done this completely outside, because I am aware of the toxic fumes released by this process. That day the wind...
