    Milwaukee Drill

    Good tool. Itll probably run once you get a cord on it. They will hurt you if youre not careful, Ive got scars to prove it. You can get a right andgle kit for it, which depending on how you place the chuck on it, will reduce or increase the rpms. That makes it very useful for plumbing or...

    glow plug on 1962 Super Dexta

    Its not a glow plug. Its a heater in the intake manifold. Mine is wired to a button on the bottom right of the instrument panel. You push it in for 30 seconds or so, then crank the engine. You shouldnt need it unless its less than 40 degrees F. It helps some, but its not as good as real glow plugs.

    Good lineman pliers

    The vast majority of electricians dont call them linesmans pliers, they call them Kleins. Nuf said.

    Any plumbers here?

    Thats 3 inch line and 3 inch stack.

    Any plumbers here?

    Code allows up to 3 water closets on a 3 stack for residential plumbing. Just cut in the new 3 line into your existing stack.

    Emergency generator(regular or inverter)?

    The original question has been answered, and Im not sure if the emergency generator youre ordering is a standby or so called whole house generator, but if it isnt, you should strongly consider that option. Unless Im mistaken, you are 70+ and the standby generator will work whether youre able...

    is this a deep well Pump ?

    Its a shallow well jet pump, might be convertible to deep well, but I would strongly recommend leaving it on the shelf. A submersible pump is more efficient, requires only one pipe and most importantly, never needs to be primed. Usually are 240 volt, but you may find one that is 120 volt if you...

    JD L, LA Engine

    L and LA models have a two cylinder vertical cylinder flathead in them. Not a Hercules. I had an LA 40 some years ago. If I remember correctly I put a Ford 8n carb on it and it worked fine. That might not help you if youre trying to do an accurate restoration, but if you just want it to run, you...

    JD 2240 good bad ugly?

    2240 is 50 HP at the PTO. Engine HP is 60. Ive had mine for 4 years. Very handy tractor, not as nice as the 2155 on the farm I co-own with my brothers, that one is easier to shift and has independent PTO rather than the dual clutch my 2240 has. Mine does have the hi-lo, which I like, although I...

    Briggs and Stratton Vanguard in Simplicity Conquest

    Well, most of the reason for the non ethanol gas and stabil is because I keep a fair amount of gas around for my generator and it doesnt get much use, so I like to be able to count on gas that might be a year old. I cycle the oldest gas through the small engines. It works for me. I dont think...

    Briggs and Stratton Vanguard in Simplicity Conquest

    Yes, I believe I can get the part numbers on partstree. I use ethanol free gas and stabil on all my small engine equipment, so maybe the needle valve will be ok. Ill see what I can do just buying the parts I need. Carb actually doesnt look bad at all on the inside but oring on bowl is shot and...

    Briggs and Stratton Vanguard in Simplicity Conquest

    I have a 16 hp Vanguard vertical shaft in a 2003 Simplicity Conquest that has carburetor issues. On line research shows that the carb is NLA and the rebuild kit at Partstree is about $155 plus shipping and doesnt include the float or shutoff solenoid. Yikes! Anybody know any alternatives?

    1958 Fordson Dextra diesel

    Yes it could be that simple. My Super Dexta was that way when I bought it 30 years ago. Dextas have a long clutch throw in dual clutch mode and you have to lift your foot pretty high. Its understandable that it might be set up that way on a farm with multiple tractors and having tractors...

    Lawn mower

    You might try pulling the tin off the motor, Ive had some weird things happen due to rodents building nests and compromising the cooling. Might be just enough cooling with no load for it not to overheat, but not enough cooling under load.

    Rotodiesel swap out to Roosa Master or rebuild?

    Maybe theres some kind of premium on rebuilding 1530 Rotodiesel pumps, I dont know, but I had the Rotodiesel pump in my 2240 rebuilt last summer for less than $500. Shop was in Harrisonburg, Va.
