    Today's funny

    Band saw parts blades

    I've been getting mine from McMaster Carr for 40 years with good results. Both at work and now in retirement. They are made to order, any length is avilable.

    3 position, 4 way valve, cylinder in one direction only

    I have several valves that look almost like that. The hex head between the lever and the hose on the pic came with 2 versions, one for one way operation and the other for two way operation. You very likely have the one way plug installed. Google the name on the valve and yo will likely find...

    Sump pumps

    I use stainless steel submersible pumps. Problem I had is that the rods that tie the "head" to the base rusted off. What I do now is replace them with stainless steel threaded rod before installing them. Last a lot longer.

    Some photos form the Half Century Show

    Twenty plus years ago I had a neighbor that got sick of getting stuck after several years of wet weather. Finally he bought rice tracks for his combine. Went right through mudholes with no problem. It was an all day job installing them as it was not designed to be a "change" item. He used it...

    Do you think Dollar coins will replace paper bills?

    Simple solution for the cash drawer. Get rid of the half dollar. Two quarters use the same amount of space in your pocket. Then you have room for the dollar coin.

    Bad new valve guide

    You may be on to something. Back in the 60's I had a VW bug with 50K miles on it that would stutter and stop. After 20 minutes it could be restarted.
