When the spanner stripped the notch I had a cheater on it and helper tapping a screw driver against a notch at same time. I will be getting plenty of torque on the filter it is just that tight. I don't want to damage the filter mount. Maybe an air chisel will vibrate it off but I don't have...

Tried a spanner wrench and it stripped the only tooth I could get it onto. Going...

I put a new (off of ebay) steering sector on my tractor because the old one was worn out and leaked.

I am in pretty hard red clay and the cultivating tines are clawing pretty slowly.

Soil is pretty compacted. And there is only a...

Old trees are majestic. One day I want to visit California and see the redwoods.
