Many people complain about those Ryobi chainsaws and get only 3-star reviews, but they are very good as long as they are well cared for and maintained. My verdict on this chainsaw is a 5 star ...👌👌👌😂 Jkk

I used diesel for many years. But diesel prices went up rapidly which is more than $5 per gallon now. This propane torch with a cylinder refill is a lot of better option and no diesel waste. 😂😂 Jkk

Have you ever had a hard time starting a fire on a pit or a pile of wood debris? Have you used a diesel for starting to burn the pile of wood debris? This propane torch will give you an answer on how to start the fire on the pit or wood debris. The full propane cylinder can start the fire about...

That was exactly what I thought first but it works for me so well... especially on riding mower tires and compact tractor tires. Jkk

Modern technology is amazing and makes life so easy.

I have this Turkey Tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) surrounding my property that I collect them to make tea. It is only available on dead oak tree trunks in the rainy winter season in Northern California. It is not really tasty but for health benefit according to Wikipedia. Any thoughts? Jkk

Very sorry to hear 😞 😢 😔

Do you have app name that I was looking for. Thanks😊 Jkk

Any members here know what kind of mushroom is It? 3 years ago, I cut off a big digger pine tree near my house. This morning, I discovered this beautiful golden mushroom under the trunk. Thanks Jkk

Yes... good point. After using and storing for while on any small gas engines equipments include 2cycle(generator, riding mower, log splitter, rototiller, chainsaw, air blower, etc.) shoud be dried out the gas from carburator after usage will be carburator trouble free (contained the ethanol...

Attached simple small wheels from recycled on the heavy welding machine is makes life easier 😅😅

That is not good for me. I am carrying the generator around the property with a tractor loader repairing the fence, water well tank air refill and even tractor repair in the field very frequently. Jkk

It was fun to do this project. Comment if you have any better way to do. Thanks Jkk

I thought you already watched my video on the first page. It is one unit system (one indoor head) which is 24000 BTU 21 seers perfect size for my 1500sq house.

I have speculated and considered the efficiency, longevity of the mini split unit before installing it and fully understood it could be hard to find parts if the unit gets into trouble. As I ment on video, I only paid less than $800 for the seer rating 21 unit and if the last was less than 10...

The other reason I am so satisfied to install the mini split AC was because of noise. It was a nightmare to hear loud noises from the heat pump whenever it turned on which is under the outside of the master bedroom window. Compare the mini split AC which is 10 times quieter than the heat pump...

There are too many pocket gophers on my property. I caught over 1500 in the last 14 years surrounding my house. Without getting rid of them, no way of gardening unfortunately...😢😢 It is my duty to hunting it every morning 😂😂

That is the reason so many Californian exodus to other states. I wish too but I can't unfortunately.😥😥 JKK

Wow... It is almost 3 times cheaper than California. I am paying $ 0.35/kwh

***After 2 years of unsuccessful attempts to get rid of them, the rat disappeared*** Sounds great for your area not central California unfortunately... I never had any norway rat problems past. Suddenly it happens this year. The population of rat is exploded somehow 😳 💀

Suddenly, norway rats are infesting and destroying my garden this year. Only way to get rid of them is to use these traps. Unbelievable. JKK

You won't be disappointed with a mini split air conditioner that should be more than 19 seer(mine is 21 seer) (SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the system) Past July, 2024 in central and northern California temperatures were more...

I also had a nightmare with GICI electric outlet in the garage that had to be replaced to the regular outlet for freezer.

I did too in the chest freezer to set the temperature to 35 degree -_+ 2 for vegetables. Love it. Not only the controller price but everything went up dramatically in the last 3 years.😩😩 But still I can buy a used one for less than $50 from Ebay fortunately.😂😂 jkk

I have a 2006 GE 20cf upright freezer that has been running forever since long ago. I assumed the temperature control switch had malfunctioned, but no replacement part was available. Installed the Johnson controller A419. It runs like new again. Saved some money 😂😂 Jkk

Living in the country is challenging. If plumbing, electrical problems, mechanical problems, carpenter works, etc arise, it is very hard to hire the guy to fix. They are not willing to do it because it is time consuming for them( of course I fully understanding).Or charge a lot more than usual...

Do you need the D batteries but only have C batteries available in your house? And living in a rural area that caused you to drive a long way to get it? Here is a solution 😉😉 Jkk

You did a really fantastic job at your age..... congratulations.... jkk

70 years old guy is still improving the kitchen.😄😄😄

The belt part No: 754-0461Idler pulley No: 756-0116A Quite easy to replace the drive belt and pulley.

Finally the tractor has been repaired and runs like a champion. Actually, I couldn't align the engine and torque converter with the oil pump because of my carport floor wasn't leveled So, I had to split the center housing and rearend again. After that, I put the dolly with a hydraulic jack...

Did you try the number? I am a member in here a for while and never be like you think The phone number worked for me and I wanted to share the info for members who needed it. If you don't need to get rid of the line, you don't have to look at this thread. That is simple.

It was great you removed the line yourself. I would do it but afraid of raising the liability with AT&T later, especially living in California 😩😩 That was the reason I really wanted to let them remove it.

Did you try with this number? 888-920-9939 Ext 6746.

If you are living in the country, highly recommend it So convenient.

Yes, That is the reason, I ordered a new OEM pump for $300 from British England. It's worth it instead of doing things twice. The pumps from China, India are good but not as good as OEMs. Thank you for your suggestion. Appreciate it

I have replaced the pump that failed the front seal 7 years ago. According to the service manual, the most important thing is position impeller hub driver lugs on torque converter in a horizontal position and drive lugs on transmission pump in a vertical position. then use about 6" guide studs...

Yesterday was the day that I had the backplate from a local master mechanic at a tractor repair shop for free and installed immediately. I contacted him for the problems then responded immediately that he has an extra set of plates and is ready to pick up. I am waiting for a pump rubber gasket...

I am not a professional to replace the windows but it was replaced based on my best knowledge. It could be a better way to do so. Please share your profession if you have one. Thanks Jkk

I got a decent internet service from AT&T internet air couple month ago and $55 per month. It is so much better than any other rural area internet service that I tried before except for starlink(quite expense $130 per month) If the 5G available in your area, then consider getting it.

Try to call this number 888-920-9939 Ext 6746. I just confirmed again the numbers is correct.

Updating... Split the tractor then discovered the torque converter main back plate for engine flywheel attached. It is complete broken middle of section. Unbelievable Finding and waiting the answer for the plate through the local MF dealer.

Actually I am not that lazy but I take care of all equipment more than needed.😄😄 This case is a special that the owner manual said replace the fluid every 750 hours. The fluid has been changed 7 years ago but operating hours are only 150 or less as stated above. That makes me strange.😥😥 Thanks

Yes. The fluid passed through the magnet and didn't see any metal shaving nor pieces while cleaning the filter and pan. Thanks

The problem is that the service manual does not clearly describe what lower pressure means and what parts need to be replaced. Splitting the tractor is quite a big job for an especially retired old guy.😥😥 That is the reason I need to pinpoint what needs to be done before splitting the tractor...

The procedure you meant to above is for transmission pressure test when the pressures are normal range 150-160PSI. But the current pressure on the transmission is only 40PSI. Does it indicate the oil pump failure? Thanks again

No. It was only sludge in the screen and pan. Thanks.

No, it does not go up or down that means the 3-point hitch is not working neither. Thanks

A couple weeks ago, my beloved 1970 MF30 industrial tractor suddenly failed to move forward or backward while scraping on the ground. The tractor has Perkin AD204 4 cylinders diesel engine. The tractor has no indication of any noises nor wrong movement before it happens. Only I suspect there...

Thank you for responding. I thought the pump failed too but want to make sure before splitting the tractor which is a big job for especially old age 70 🤣🤣 Any other possible failures other than the pump failed? Also, I was surprised that there was a lot of sludge in the sump pan in 7 years...

Quite simple to replace the seals.

The price of the live oak firewood per cord is around $400 with no delivery but pickup only. (firewood guy charges much higher) Live oak tree firewood is the best, the densest, and heavy wood, burning very hot and not much ash left in my experience. No comparison to the soft firewood like...

I really need only AC in the very hot Northern California summer season. During the winter season, I have had a Lopi wood stove since I moved to a rural area more than 40 years ago. No cost for firewood because I can get it as much as I want every year from my property and selling the left over...

Also, it is made in the USA. Last forever😊😊

Answer is not much different but more convenient than 2 grabbers in my experience.😂😂

This is a goldenrod 415 fence stretcher splicer. It has 3 grabbers which is very convenience.

The rods are very flexible. I believe it will work for the 90-degree pipes.

Not at all... Ash should be removed before cleaning and creosote is not flying while cleaning as you saw in the video. It costs only less than $50 and makes me a life saver What else can I ask for?

Here is link you could buy it or research for better price on E bay, Amazon...

The reason I bought it was because I was afraid to climb the roof due to my age. Now, I don't have to climb to the roof to clean the chimney pipe nor remove the sanction of pipes. It is so convenient and so safe. Jkk

I am wondering the actual cost for Starlink internet service included equipment and per month and how fast to download and upload.

The at&t is no longer offering unlimited tethering nor data only plan that I know. I used to have an unlimited data only plan that I connected to my router as a home internet for several years after switching from HughesNet (the connection was a nightmare) I feel very lucky to get the actual...

$55 per month with auto pay. No data cap. The down & upload speed between the 150-100 mbps & 30-40 mbps. It has been very reliable.

Actually, I was considering getting Starlink but the cost was between $100-$150 per month. I can't afford it for retired guys.

My area does not have many options to get quality internet service except satellite internet. So I have had it for 3 years and got it from a cell phone hotspot connection last 7 years. Recently, I discovered that At&t offers wireless internet by 5G service and ordered it. Fortunately, my area...

I have so many feral hogs in my area and creating more problems in the property. Also, there are still too many gophers. It is a never-ending problem... Jkk

Somehow the gopher population has exploded this year in northern California. I can't do any gardening in my property without getting rid of gophers. Unbelievable. Jkk

The bad capacitor on the air-conditioner makes huge electric bills. I should have replaced it earlier. So, shame on the bad capacitor.... Jkk

If any members in here have same problem, then replace the spindle and idlers bearings. It is not hard to do. Jkk Spindle upper bearing No: 6204-2RS Spindle lower bearing No: 6204-ZZ Deck main idler bearing No: 6201-ZZ Tensioner bearing No: 6203-2RS

Works good after replaced the spindle idlers bearings ..

If anyone has a hard water scales problem, make this magnetic descaler then install it to any main water pipes in your house. It is not a short-term solution but a long-term solution. But it works and cost is only $20. It is worth... Jkk

It is a good time to replace the tankless water heater at this time, but many considerations must be overcome, especially the gas vent and 1/2" full port gas flow plumbing etc. It took almost all day to finish, and a very fun summer project was completed. Jkk

Discover the problem that one of the spendles is locked due to the bearing worn out. Also, one of the tensioner's bearings is totally shot. Without the deck, the engine wouldn't stop while engaging the PTO. Time to find out the upper and lower bearing. Thanks for commenting. Jkk

I just got this mower from local CR for a hot summer project and paid only $100 It runs very well and works well except the engine dies while PTO engaging in. I suspect that the PTO switch is bad in the last picture. Also, the prior owner replaced the parking brake cable about 1 year ago but...

The log splitter is working well since replacing half of the love joy coupling and rubber spider.. I have split more than 3 cords since being replaced. Still watching the coupling and spider but looks ok so far.. Jkk

Couple years ago I acquired this splitter for $100 at the local craigslist. Replaced engine from vertical to horizontal engine. Ever since It works like champion, Suddenly It failed to split the log a few days ago. I discovered one part of Lovejoy was worn completely without any knowledge. But...

It happened on March 15. 2023. The elevation is only 320ft in this area. I am enjoying sudden surprising weather. Probably this kind weather dropping a lot of hailstones would be the last seen in my life. jkk

It has been in the market for a while. I bought it 3 or 4 years ago..

Yes.. it is..

Recently, the rain and strong winds caused many trees to fall down in central California. Also, It caused the barbed wire fence to need repair.

Until 2024 not for now. But it is still controversial. The law could be changed due to battery powered equipmenmore is more expensive and less efficient than gas-powered equipment. Also, the gas power equipment can still operate if purchased before 2024. Hope the governor listens to the...

Yes! some big city like San Francisco, Not for rural area in CA

It is not good looking.😢😢 That is the reason I got rid of many tall pine trees near my house. Thank you for sharing the pictures. Jkk

Fortunately, there was not much rain last night but I am very concerned about power outages. We already had 2 days in a row without power in 5 days due to the high wind. The generator ready is necessary in central California. 😥😥 Jkk

January 7, 2023, it was high wind, more than 60 MPH that caused so many beautiful live oak trees to fall down during the night in central California. Sooo Shame... Of course, I can cut the trees and split them with a log splitter for firewood but it is too much for next year.. I might sell some...

Last several years in California, there was a severe drought. A Couple days of heavy atmospheric river rain filled an empty lake. Unbelievable.... Some local areas were flooded but welcome to rain. We need more rain.....

Spreaded some ashes on the garlic garden from my wood stove. It provides some benefits for glowing healthy garlic in my experience.

Yes, it could be happening in rare cases. Anyway, human life is at risk every day, 😥😥 but it's better to be careful in that case. Thanks for your comments. 😅😅

Recently. I have upgraded the air compressor due to the 10 years old 8-gallon Harbor freight compressor died. However, I needed a portable air tank for inflating the tractor tires that could be flat in an emergency situation. So, resurrecting the tank from a retired old compressor. The total...

That was my biggest concern for safety. I carefully looked at the compressor pump and tank when I purchased it. Apparently, it was in very good condition with no sign of any damage or abuse. Also, it is made in the USA, and it makes me a little more comfortable. 😄😄 Thank you for your comment. Jkk

I purchased a used compressor from local craigslist recently for $150 replacing a 10 years old Harbor Freights compressor that served well for more than 10 years. The reason I bought it was the Jenny (Emglo) K model attached to the old Craftsman 30-gallon compressor tank. That pump is made in...

I needed some project that required me to bend a 90 degree on 1/2" copper pipe. I don't want to spend some money buying a bending tool for one time use. So, I figured out a riding mower spindle pulley that is for 1/2" belt. Little idea makes life easy and save some money. ^^ It works really well

I just discovered that the compressor tank came from a Craftsman 5hp 30-gallon tank then replaced a jenny k model pump along the 1 hp GE electric motor. The previous owner configured it really well except no non-working gauge, no regulator, and leaking on all tube connections. I replaced the...

That is exactly what I thought. Anyway, the compressor works really well. If the pump and motor fails then pump parts are available and can be repaired easily because it is a Jenny K pump. Also, any 1 hp 3450rpm single phase motor should be good to go. Thank you for your comment. Jkk

I just purchased this compressor for $150 to replace a 10 years old harbor freight compressor. The prior owner said it was made by Jenny but I couldn't rocated any model number or serial number label on the tank. I researched it on the internet but only found the pump was made by Jenny. It is a...

2 more steel targets made by retired brake rotors at 100 yards. Hopefully the bullet not go through the hole ;) :ROFLMAO:

The reason to create something at my age is to prevent dementia..

I have used horse manure as a garden compost for quite a long time. No other commercial compost or fertilizer but only well rotten horse compost. Definitely., I recommend rotten horse manure as a good garden compost. Jkk

My wife made some black garlic with a slow cooker. It tastes like jelly and is good for human health as well, but I still like to eat raw garlic. 😋😋😋

Couple days ago, I purchased this chipper from local craigslist for $30. The title of the sale was "non-starting wood chipper for $30". It is Harbor freight wood chipper 5.5hp engine. It looks fairly new and not much used. I suspect the problem is that the main jet was plugged in due to being...

This craftsman edger was given to me by a friend. Model No: 536.772210 It hasn't been operated for more than 7 years but looks really good except it doesn't have an air filter and housing. other than that, it seems hasn't been used very much. It was a good, fun project. John's Ranch JKK

Sound of wind chimes when hit it.😋😋😋 Jkk

I made a target for the 22 rifle only this morning and hung it at 75 yards. The pipe has scheduled 80 left over from the last project. I am excited to hear a pipe organ bang sound when hit.🤣🤣🤣 Jkk

Yes!! for cooking not for disk grill;);););)

I might try it later. The reason I prefer the paper target in 50 yards range is that I can see exactly where I hit. Thanks

You are correct that the steel target could be weakening the steel on the welding area. My understanding of the recommendation of 200 yards range for 223. .223 or 7.62x39 is for protecting from damage to the target, not for safety reasons. I am not concerned about damaging the target because I...

AR500 steel is one of the more abrasion resistant steels and good for gun targets but quite expensive. So, I decided to make a couple of steel targets by myself. It came from a retired 3-point tractor scraper blade which is 1/2" thick AR450 metal as good as the AR500 (a little less strong). If...

It is a good time to build a sunshade for a dog. 13x10 sail is good enough to cover the doghouse. Total cost is less than $30 but it is worth much more than that. Jkk

It is a controversial theory that it actually cleans the deck or not. In my lifetime experience it cleans the deck so well on other cub cadet riding mower. Linked to YouTube more than 2 million people watched that guy is a popular riding mower repair guy in youtube. Jkk

Installed a deck wash port purchased from Amazon. Needed a 5/8" drill bit and 24mm wrench socket for drilling the hole and tightening up. It took less than 10 minutes. It makes easy cleaning the deck Jkk

Agreed the Kohler courage series engine is terrible. I owned a couple of those engines. The top engine cover bolts were too loose (it was a manufacturing error and recall that series engine)so I tightened up the bolts slightly then the engine block cracked. Welded that area but still leaking the...

No. As I meant on the video, the engine is a Kawasaki FH531V. That was the reason I purchased the mower. It is strong enough to cut 48" wide grass. Jkk

This morning, I cut some tall weeds as a test proposal, and it went so well surprisingly... It seems strong enough to cut tall weeds even though it is only 18hp, but the engine is a twin cylinder engine. Jkk

The reason to purchase this riding mower was a long summer fun project.😜😜 I spent around $200 for this project It came up very well and was so much fun... Runs and cuts the grass very well too.🤣🤣 Good for a spear mower in case the main riding mower fails.

The building a strong pen at least 16'x8' with root gates trap could be a matter of surrounding neighborhoods. I don't think I can make it by myself. I will contact all my neighbors to know what is going on with feral hogs around this area. Thank you for your suggestions.

Here is video that I made trap for feral hogs last year.

Last year, I made a trap for wild hogs( feral hogs) because they were damaging my orchard and gardens so badly. This morning , I caught 4 small feral hogs at a time, a total of 8 hogs ever since. And still so many hogs I can see in the video. It is happening in northern California. Unbelievable...

Here are some specific sensitive electronic devices I have and never had any problems with <25% THD generator for the last 15 years. Of course, I have 3 refrigerators, 1 freezer, a well pump, gate opener, so many rooms and outsize lights etc., all are 110V except the well pump they don't have...

Operating this kind of generator with propane gas from a big tank is much cheaper and running without interruption for pouring the gasoline. but losing some wattage from the full capacity. That is the reason I have purchased this generator. jkk

Yes,, the generator noise is quite annoying especially in nighttime Will make a soundproof box with Styrofoam.

In the last several years, we have had horrible power outage situations in California Sacramento valley due to summer fire. Last week alone, we had two power outages for 2 1/2 days. The generator is necessary for living in California.... unbelievable Purchased this generator for replacing...

I even adjusted the drop rate valve to the lowest possible to slow drop the 3 point hitch lower link but still stuck the auger too easily. It is not worth trying again..😥😥😥 Jkk

I Tried to dig again. The boom lifting was perfect. It was lifting the auger just above ground after drilling the hole between the middle.😉😉😉 But it's still hard to dig the hole. .😩😩😩 It is stuck in the hole continuously. Probably 3 point hitch lifting capacity is not enough to lift when the...

I just custom made the legs for standing the augur that were missing when I brought it. Also, drilled another hole between the last and second Hole which was the last hole originally. Will test digging the hole today. jkk

Any 2cycle engine equipment's break in should be used a couple times gently. It is good enough in my experience. I don't think you really need to remove carb adjustment/spark arrestor at this time. It is new. Maybe in the future when it is needed. jkk

Thank you for your tip. As seen in the video, I made an extra hole far side to the 3 point hitch due to not enough to lift the augur. But the new hole makes the augur too high now.😩😩 I might make another hole between the last and second holes and practice more.🤤🤤 Jkk

Purchased this 3point digger and Land Pride BB1248 box scraper for my New Holland TD24DA from local craigslist recently. Paid only $450 for both. (Very good deal) 🤤🤤🤤🤤 They are practically new. The previous owner's tractor didn't have enough power for carrying those attachments. It is the...

Sounds like you did a great job on the free chainsaw.😉😉😉 This reconditioned saw is almost brand new, not much noticed using and only paid $100. Cutting the hard wood log was really great and the most important thing is that it is lightweight compared to the Husqvarna 450 and happy. Personally...

You You are too advanced a guy 😘😘😘 I am sure you are talking about the metaverse. I don't think it will happen in my life but the next generation for sure. jkk

That is correct. Unfortunately, mine is not.😥😥 Jkk

Actually If I increase throttle speed on the tractor(meaning the hydraulic oil flows fast) the splitting speed is much better like a stand alone splitter surprisingly.😘😘😘 Thank you. Jkk

The people are so bored if I make longer videos. 😩😩😩 That is the reason to make a fast speed video in less than 5 minutes. My videos uploaded to Youtube are all less than 5 minutes.🤣🤣 Thanks. Jkk

Sorry it is not for the tractor thread. But some members here might be interested. It was so fun to do so.. Jkk

I purchased this splitter from local craigslist recently for a summer fun project. I even don't know who made this splitter but it seems like not much use and excellent condition as you can see and sturdy well made. Surprisingly the splitter works so well, split large size hardwood logs like...

How about this chainsaw I just bought from Ebay for $100.

Purchased reconditioned Ryobi RY3818 chainsaw for $100 from Ebay recently, Overall, I am very satisfied with the $100 chainsaw. jkk

The Stihl MS360 weight is 5.7kg (12.6lb) without bar and chain according to the factory specs. The echo CS-310 weight is about 4kg(8.8lb) jkk

Good to know Thanks.😘😘 I never knew the name of the bolts😊😊😊

Better to mention the bolt head is flat and square the bottom. To me, the welding option is much better to add on. Jkk

I spent a lot of time looking for the cutting edge. That came up with a very good result and be glad to share it here.. JKk

Eight back surgeries.😥😥😥😥??? NO... she shouldn't do it. Once she gets old, there will be so many problems. You better save your wife..😩😩😩

All chainsaws don't look like much usage. 😘😘😘 Thank you for the nice pictures. Jkk

It is a light duty chainsaw not like the CS400. Hope your wife likes it. Jkk

I had this 3-point grader blade for more than 10 years, purchased used one from a local area. It has been served so well but time to replace the cutting edge due to the dulled I already flipped over the edge when purchased. I don't even know what brand name or which company made the blade. I...

Dual propane gas tanks system makes a tremendous saving of money for lifetime. It is fairly easy to add one more tank. Jkk

Spited while the log is wetted preventing the popup today..😄😄😄

I used to have Stihl MS250 and Husqvarna 450 with 18" bar. I usually sharpened the chain with a file after refilling the gas a second time in the field. The sharpening of the chain with a file on the MS250 was not easier than the Husqvarna chainsaw at all. Ever since, I purchased the...

They are almost the same between the Stihl ms170 and echo CS-310 according to the specifications I was considered to buy Husqvarna 120II, but it is 1 1/2lb heavier than CS310. Stihl MS 170 POWER SOURCEGas POWERHEAD WEIGHT 8.6 lbs. GUIDE BAR LENGTH (Recommended)16 in. OILOMATIC® CHAIN3/8"...

I am still a Husqvarna chainsaw fan 😄😄😄 The echo CS-400 is almost the same as the Husqvarna 440e that I used to have. I still have Husqvarna 450 for cutting big trees that I cut couple days ago.. jkk

Yes! Even a 1lb difference is a lot for a long period of cutting.. It was featherlight when I cut some trees yesterday because there was almost a 3lb difference between this saw and Husqvarna 450.. Unfortunately I didn't know the Echo 3510 is much better than the CS-310 according to a...

I just purchased echo CS- 310 chainsaw. The reason to buy it is that it is much lighter than the Husqvarna 450 due to my age. The weight is almost 3lb lighter than 450. It makes me quite impressed after cutting some limbs, branches and dead oak trees. Jkk

Last time when the drop pipe changed to the poly pipe from the galvanized 6 years ago, I saw an adapter the well guy was using to pull the pipe from the well casing. It was very convenient for pulling the pipe. I Just made pipe to pull it up out of the casing today from the recycled pipe and...

Exactly that was the reason I made this tool for emergency situations that no one could help to pull the pump.😄😄😄 Jkk

Not only way to straighten things with a wood splitter but to bend too...😋😋😋 Jkk

Daedong tractor was made in Korea and their name changed to LS tractor in the USA today in my understanding. you should try to ask the local LS tractor dealer. They might help to find the seal. JKK

Anyway can you upload some pictures? I love to see your tool.:giggle::giggle: Jkk
