    English villages, pubs and churches

    Nice Pictures. I spent 5 years stationed at RAF Lakenheath. My best overseas assignment. If you're ever in Brandon, Suffolk. Stop in at The Bell and tell Allan and Marion, the pub owners I said hello.

    Stopped at a garage sale

    If your luck with grease guns is similar to mine. Then you need all the grease guns you can get. I barely have use for one, but there's two in my shed.

    Securing Loads

    In the early 80's I worked at a shop near Waco Texas. We had a Ford single axle tractor and a 40 ft trailer. That looks like some of the loads I used to haul. On more than one occasion I thought I was going to be short of chains/boomers. Always managed to get everything tied down and never...

    Securing Loads

    Thanks for this info. I've copied it to a word doc and printed it up for reference (maybe a few people I've met will think differently when I show it to them). I've attempted to read some information about transporting cars, equipment, etc a few times before and it always gave me a headache...

    Securing Loads

    Have heard many different references on what's correct, legal, etc about securing a load on a trailer. I've just hauled a Farmall B and tied it down with three (all I had) chains/boomers and one tie-down strap. Two chains/boomers on front, and a chain/boomer and tie-down strap on the back of...

    Farmall B tires

    Okay, guess I understood wrong from the older gentlemen and my dad had told me. It has a planter setup (need to find a planter box for it) on the left side. The right side is setup as a cultivator. Always heard these made nice garden tractors. You could plant and cultivate with it on small...

    Lets Discuss Torque Wrenches

    Like anything else, you get what you pay for. I have/had the HF brand Pittsburgh Torque Wrenches. Have no problem with them. However, don't use them for engine work either. Sears sells a decent torque wrench. Check the sales, or when they put the displays in the aisle. After paying...

    Farmall B tires

    Greetings to all. Don't post often, mostly lurk and learn from all the great advice. Need some advice on some tires for a 1947 Farmall B that I've acquired. It's a little rough looking, tires are rotted, needs some work, but appears to be a gem in the rough. has one row planter and...

    HP vs CC's

    Sorry to add to the confusion. But, if I recall they are selling the small engines listed in "torque" now rather than Horse Power, Cubic Centimeter, or Cubic Inch. Last mower we bought was listed as "6.5 Torque." Asked the salesman @ Sear's and that was what he told me. When I asked about...

    Standard shift trucks

    I bought my GMC in 2007. It's equipped with the Duramax and Alison 6 speed Auto Transmission. Wife doesn't drive a manual transmission vehicle and I'm not going to try to teach her. A year later, found out only way to get the standard trans with the Duramax was to special order it. Have no...

    What's your least favorite repair around the farm?

    Agreed, the designers and engineers should have to work on what they design/build. If this would've been done with the F-16, there would be a lot fewer curse words said and a lot more maintenance being done.
