    I have a suggestion

    I found a thing that could be improved upon. When replying to a post, it does not indicate clearly who you are replying to. This leads to misunderstandings like I just encountered. One poster made an impolite comment to another that went "back and forth" a couple of times, and I made a comment...

    EV discussions

    Are EV discussions now a prohibited topic? Or just the ones that go sideways?

    Need part for brake lathe.

    I have an old (probably as old as most of us on this board) Hoffmann brake lathe. It has the capability to do rotors on one side and drums on the other. Here is the problem. In the course of moving into the house we bought 5 years ago, the nut that holds the drum and adapters disappeared. Part...

    Now, a question...

    So far, I am surviving the new format. BUT, I have one big question. Previously, when entering a forum, I could see which threads were new and which I had already looked at. What I could not see was if any of the ones I had looked at had any new messages. Now, every thread that has a new...

    Metal detector

    I have been thinking about getting a new whiz-bang fancy metal detector. I would have gotten a White's, but it appears they are no longer in the metal detector business. In the past, I had several cheap ones that didn't do a good job. Most will tell you it detected metal, but no clue as to what...

    Valve refacing machine

    I have an old (probably VERY old) Van Dorn valve refacing machine. Over the years, it has done a good job, but now that I need it again, the collet that holds the valve has broken. I noticed that the very same machine was sold under the Black and Decker name as well. The machines are...

    3 Texans

    Three Texans went into a steak house. They sat down at a table and the waiter came to take their orders. The first guy (showing off so he thought) said to just throw his steak in a hot fry pan. As soon as you hear the sizzle, turn it over. Then when you hear the sizzle, put it on a plate. The...

    Need an engine...but.

    I have a very old walk-behind tractor. This would be VERY handy for my little garden. I also have several attachments for it including a single bottom Brinley plow with coulter. Problem is that the engine on it is just plain old and worn out. Carb leaks even after cleaning and replacing...

    Re: Trying to bring a 1980s era TroyBilt Tiller back to lif

    This engine may be old enough to have points. If so, you need to check them with an ohm meter. Gap needs to be set to about .016". If no points, the ignition coil/module assembly could be bad. If there is a wire that goes back under the flywheel, that would indicate that it has points. Also...

    June Tomatoes

    Not to hijack the thread below, this is in answer to Bruce from Cam.'s statement below about seasons and produce. Around southeastern PA, we have a number of Mennonite farmers and quite a few farmers' markets. There are also quite a few roadside stands selling locally grown produce. As was...

    Self service junkyards

    So as not to hijack the previous thread that was headed this way, I will start this one about junkyards. Self service junkyards are relatively recent in this area. Most are secondary to the main full service yards. One yard has cars that are within 10 years old, and is a full service yard. You...

    licensed mechanics

    The purpose of this post is to clear the air about licensing of mechanics. I have read several references about someone being a "licensed" mechanic. As far as I know, there is no such thing. I made a living as a mechanic for many years. In that time, I have never possessed or been asked for...

    OT - minimum wage

    Did not want to hijack SPOOK's post below so I started a new thread. Regarding minimum wage, it is not and never will be a "living wage" no matter how high they push it. There are too many side effects from raising the minimum wage too high. Businesses will simply pass along the higher cost of...

    Harbor Freight deal revisited.

    After reading through the entire thread on the Harbor Freight "deal," I knew that one more post would never be seen or read. So, here goes..... There are MANY circumstances like this that come up every day. This incident does not necessarily make mongo a thief. Nor does it completely exonerate...

    The ongoing ethanol debate

    The ethanol debate will continue on as it has taken on a life of its own. Personally, I do not like it. I think that it is mostly a matter of personal choice. This is not a new thing. I remember being offered a choice back in the mid '70s. It did not do well then, and it probably would not now...

    Machine shops

    Automotive machine shops are becoming a thing of the past. Shops in my area are closing up one after the other. The problem seems to be coming from two directions. Pressure from too much regulation and a serious decline in business. Most of today's modern engines are simply too expensive to...

    O T - Deal breakers

    After reading the series of posts about ABS, traction control, and other automotive related things, here are some of my thoughts about some of the newer features...... and what would constitute a deal breaker for me. Leather interior. HATE them. Simply uncomfortable. Like sitting in a sauna in...

    Re: 13 home Improvements That Are Illegal

    What a load of misinformation. Where do they get the idea that you need a permit to replace a light fixture??? And since when does a plumber do gas lines??? I suspect that gas lines are the domain of the utility - not a plumber. I'd like to know what yuppie idiots wrote that article!!!

    OT Chinese Quality

    I sure don't intend to defend the Chinese, BUT........ They seem to be getting a bad rap that they may not deserve. First, look at some of their accomplishments. Besides the Great Wall, they have managed to become a nuclear power in spite of getting no help from outside their country. They have...

    2 cycle tiller

    I bought a 2 cycle tiller at an auction last fall. Chinese, of course. It was late in the year, so I never actually fired it up. I pulled it a few times, and it tried to fire, but was very low on fuel. I just chalked it up to low fuel and put it in the shed. So, this spring, I decided to use it...
