    Heated gloves, recommendations?

    This was on my email from Menard’s this morning. Top of the line? Probably not. But you could start out with something like this to see if electric gloves are acceptable to you and work up to a better product if you can function with an electric glove.

    Oliver fuel issues

    As posted earlier, check fuel flow to carb, then probably a carb kit is in order. I’ve got a 70 that (I’m guessing) still has the original carb and gasket set in it and fiddling with the choke is needed for higher RPMs. I’ve got the kit ready, just waiting for the necessary round tuit and hoping...

    Seized engine miracle free-up

    I saw that video online a few weeks ago. Okay, if it genuinely works and you do several engines to unseize, that’s one thing. But I think it’d be much cheaper to use other products, such as penetrating oil directed at the pistons, or the atf/acetone method. I haven’t priced bulk molasses, so...

    Got the Next Project In the Shop - TRUCK BAR!

    AND WHILE WE ARE AT IT… (And, of course, all of us dreamers are playing with your money ) Make a love seat from the trunk of a car using the same make/year from what you are playing with now. The trunk lifts up to expose a seat. Just a thought. We’ll let you finish your other project first. 😎

    Got the Next Project In the Shop - TRUCK BAR!

    Put some low voltage bulbs in the tail light section that you can switch on and off to catch the attention of the guests in your man cave.

    Anyone ever replace the front crankshaft seal on a 1990 Dodge Dakota 2.5 4 cylinder?

    And while in there, the water pump also. All the replacement parts are available and fairly inexpensive.

    What do you think about this trailer, pros/cons

    I’m not the expert on trailers, so I'm just asking. When getting to that capacity, would a gooseneck be better? Otherwise, IMO, that's a good price.

    speedometer

    This is my brother’s 1850 with the dedicated speedometer. Between the 1550 and the 1850, I don’t know which model started the individual speedometer. The noted detail that involves my brother’s 1850 is that it’s also got the fender fuel tanks. It’s also sitting in the weeds, has been for 20...

    Tracking stolen items

    The are multiple tracking devices available. The “problem” of using an AirTag is that if the thief has an Apple phone, his (her?) phone will alert him that there is an AirTag in the item that was stolen. This was allegedly setup so women would know that they are being tracked, by a boyfriend...

    I took these pix from a tractor show last year.

    Got at Gas Station

    While growing up, we didn’t have a whole lot of money. Growing up on a dairy farm, and mom having a big garden, we never starved, but we had little money. Our dairy feed supplier did give S&H green stamps. While I was in grade school, mom took me to the S&H green stamps store and that’s where I...

    Oliver 1855 with john deere repower

    For the record, I’m a Ford man myself. But putting a Ford engine in a Chevy is sacrilegious to a Chevy guy. It’s okay for a Chevy to be in a Ford, however. At least in their eyes. 🤷‍♂️

    Freezite anti-freeze and coolant

    I would…. Empty out the can and take the contents to your county hazardous recycling center. OR, some cities don’t mind you dumping it down the drain and letting it go in their treatment plant. (The nearest one to me doesn’t mind. I’ve asked) Then proudly display it in your man cave or let some...

    Oliver 1855 with john deere repower

    To me, I’d compare that to putting a Ford engine in a Corvette. 🤣

    New Gadget....

    That’s really a “must have” in a lot of tool boxes. It’s nice to have this tool when your outside AC compressor isn’t working this time of year. A quick check of your cap(s) hidden by the compressor could save you an expensive HVAC call.
