    Best tool for this risky cut in metal

    You must live in a no salt/no rust area. Dropping a tank here means replacing the straps at a bare minimum, maybe some exhaust components, brake lines, or other unrelated parts, depending on what is in the way. Anything you touch may disintegrate, or get destroyed when you try to unbolt it.

    2955 hydraulic Return

    I had a filter blow up on my log splitter. The bypass valve in the filter housing had broken, and the pieces had plugged the outlet fitting.

    At the wood pile

    My splitter has a hydraulic lift that will pick up anything you can roll on to it, but you still have to wrasses it around after it’s up there. So I generally quarter the biggest ones with a chainsaw. This was a bunch of “ free” pine that I accepted without seeing it first. It was cut in three...

    Farmall C/Super C Liftall Differences?

    The Super C might have a temperature gauge, the C probably doesn't. The gouge is tapped into the end of the filter screen in the lower left side of the block. Just swap the screen out of the Super into the C.

    Brake fluid - need to change?

    To add to my previous post: With the salt and corrosion problems here, if you went to bleed and flush the system, you would most likely encounter at least one stuck bleeder, and maybe wind up having to replace a caliper or wheel cylinder because of it.

    Brake fluid - need to change?

    I don’t change my brake fluid as a maintenance item. With the local road conditions, salt, mud, snow, etc., opening the system for repair is almost a given. Having it opened for you by rotting components, or opening it to replace said components before they fail, gives plenty of chance to flush...

    Black ink only printer

    Laser for me. I ditched the ink jets, and also Canon printers in general after I got the “ waste ink tank full” message. No way to use the printer after that.

    Wrecked a pair of my favorite tools this week

    I have destroyed a few of my own chains, and had few destroyed for me by other people. A great many more have just grown legs and absconded. I bought two new 5/16 transport grade chains a few years ago, both of them are still with me. I bought a pair of locking hooks for one, they are a pain...

    How did you hurt your self this week

    I had a big chunk of slag roll right down into a cast on my hand. Just had to grin and bear it. Then when the burn started to heal, it started itching. Just added to the itching that was already going on inside the cast.

    Replacement pads for vise

    If you go down the rabbit hole at Garage Journal dot com, you can spend the next month reading about vises, repairing vises, buying and selling vises, and much more. I think there was somebody on there that was custom making vise jaws.

    Dump rake in IH catalog

    Up until about 1990, we ran a dump rake over all of our hayfields after we baled. We could pick up about another 10% of “ scatterings”.
