    What was this tool used for?

    It is used to stretch fence. The points catch on a tree or a post, and the part hanging down hooks to the wire, and the handle gives you the leverage to stretch a wire. We use them all the time in Tennessee where most fences go from tree to tree.

    mini wringer washer

    I remember as a kid, back in the mid 1950's, that the local service station had one. He would put the rag that he used to wipe your windshield in the tub, give the tub crank a couple of turns, then run the rag through the wringer before wiping your windshield. I seem to remember seeing them at...

    Garden tractor

    I had the same type of problem last year. I fought compression, timing, carb, bought new battery, but no matter what I did, it always stopped on the compression stroke. With nothing else to check, I took the starter apart, and found that one of the magnets was broken. It spun real good without a...

    Waterless Coolant

    I have had Evans coolant in my JD 4020 since 1998. Other than initial cost, I love it. It may be cheaper now, and considering that I am still using the same antifreeze for that long, overall it was not that expensive. Since it does not boil, at least under normal conditions, it does not build up...

    Well pump problem

    The way I set up my pumps and pressure tanks is to make a note of the pressure at which the pump turns on, then with the pump turned off, and the pressure tank empty of water, fill the valve stem on the tank with air to a pressure that is between 2 and 5 PSI lower than your pump turn on...

    shop vac (no suction)

    Some shop vacs are designed to be used with water as well as dirt. These have a float valve mechanism to stop suction if the vacuum gets too full of water. I have had them close off, and stick, even without water being sucked up, especially if the shop vac is knocked around or falls. These...
