    O.K. I give up.

    The next time you have an abbreviation, just enter it in Google or DuckDuckGo and you will get an answer. Of course, some abbreviations have more than one answer.

    Quite impressed

    I have quite a few Hercules-branded battery powered-tools. Their warranty is as good as the competitor’s. I use the tools for a living and I use them hard. I’ve had two batteries fail on me. The replacement was as simple as “Yea, go to the rack and pick up your replacement…”, and then they would...

    Quite impressed

    HF can be hit or miss. I’ve been both amazed and disgusted with some of their stuff. Right now I’m doing carpentry work. A few years ago, I bought a Hercules battery-powered circular saw from them. My co-worker, who is 74 and has been a carpenter for 54 of those years, was really amazed at the...

    Story and a Question

    My first thought was that the algae was growing in that fuel line. Perhaps you could have some new fuel filters on hand. It’s possible you will soon need them.

    Pipe wrench question

    This^. When I was growing up, we had one that was about 3 feet long. We called it a monkey wrench. Now…..anybody want to research how the wrench got to be called “monkey”?

    Oliver 70

    Does this Oliver 70 have any sentimental value to you? If it DOES, proceed with caution and see if you can get it broke loose. If it has no value to you, go ahead and also proceed with trying to get it broke loose, but I would advise you not sink any money into it. It can be a money pit. You can...

    What happened to pickups - part two

    Glad you got what you wanted. A little over a year ago, a high school classmate of mine bought his dream Chevy pickup from Carvana. He had to drive an hour to pick it up, so he took his mechanic buddy along so the mechanic could drive it back. The mechanic immediately knew there were...

    Does anybody still use vertical silo's anymore

    There are a couple of large dairies in my county that used to have Harvestores. A few years ago, I was on one of dairies and a crew was tearing them down. I asked the crew where they were being shipped to and they said they were going north, IIRC, Minnesota or Canada. But the comment about...

    Turkeys

    Far northern Kansas. Pretty thick here. I’ve actually hit one with a pickup and it took off my rear view mirror. They are actually pretty good fliers, but normally don’t want to fly, they’d rather run. I hear them in the trees close by when I take my dog out and see them frequently.

    Anthony's tractor and supplies

    You DID pay with a credit card , didn’t you? I mean, that way you can call your credit card company to recoup your losses. I think I know the answer to that question….

    What happened to pickups??

    My 2009 Ford F150 ( with currently 60K miles) is about as plain as you can get. Regular cab, crank windows, smaller 4.6 engine, no cruise control. My truck was also owned by Uhaul for the first 10K miles. 😎

    Used oil.

    Same here. I have 55 gallon of used oil in a drum currently in my shed. When it starts to get cold, I could advertise it on the local free classified and have 10 people wanting to take it from me. At the very least, I could get some barley pop from the one guy who takes it. 🍻😎

    Substitute for Type A transmission fluid

    As farmersamm posted, you are not actually buying “A” fluid. You might be buying an acceptable substitute that works fine, but it’s not “A”. Here’s how the oil industry works: When a certain type of oil gets a spec antiquated or “put to bed”, production after that can have anything in the...

    Fixing Brakes on a 1974 IH 200 - Fix Original Stuff or Replace with Modern??

    I would also consider it an orphan. But not in a bad way. Orphan, because IH stopped making pickups about 45+ years ago and they built their own engines, but subcontracted a higher concentration than other makers. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. I have a 1960 IH that is waiting for a lot of...

    USA Tools

    I know what you mean. I went to a Menards over the weekend and they had a “Great Neck” screwdriver on sale. It’s one of those tools that has Phillips and flat screwdriver bits that kind of retract into the handle. It’s great in the job site because of the versatility and cheap enough that if it...
