    Wreck!!!!

    I remember when they first came out. I was parked next to one at the grocery store and we were both leaving at the same time. The owner told me that it was a great car and my crew cab one tone would be like this in the future. If all you need is transportation and live in the big city they might...

    Getting a Car Painted (no body work) is EXPENSIVE. Why?

    If it doesn't need to be fancy drive it the way it is. I got out of the body and paint business 25 years ago and $4,000 wouldn't paint a car that old back then and do it right. Materials are through the roof. Abrasives, solvents, and decent paint are pricey. Shops have to make $150.00 to $200.00...

    Problems with customers your opinions

    Cash is king. I have been buying hay from the same guy for years. Still cash. I don't even ask if he will take a check or put hay out on the arm (credit). Works well for us both. He always has what I need and never let's me run out. I can speak for all I want and he will have it. When spring...

    a little OT (catalytic converter)

    Generally the hydrocarbons will be high during an emissions test if you are required to get one done and it is failing. the other thing is if you take it out and give it a good run, pull over and use a IR thermometer and take a temp just ahead of the cat and one behind it, the one behind it...

    Stolen Tractor

    Steve, your story reminds me of a similar story that happen to me about seven years ago. We had a heck of a snow storm. Roads closed, drifts up to your chest and so on. I drove my tractor to the dairy to do the evening milking and feeding so I could clear the alleys, pre-milk and post-milk areas...

    Maybe a deal

    Don't sound too bad for project tractors. I love the "running when parked" part. Didn't they all run last time they were parked? Greg

    Small pickups

    The Ford Ranger and Chevy S10 were pretty decent little pickups. Not much power, but for a runaround vehicle to pull behind your motor home they should do fine. Can you flat tow them with a manual trans? Don't know. Seems most of the later transmissions like the front input shat turning, but I...

    The one you was glad to get rid of!!!

    1999 Ford Explorer. Constantly in the shop when it was under warranty for one electrical thing after another, oil leaks, timing chains made it all the way to 40K and needed replaced, trans gave up at about 75K, engine lost oil pressure at 100K and ate itself, timing chains started to rattle in...

    Found an old M&W Gear Company booklet and decals.

    That's really cool. Back in the day when companies really showed you they appreciated your business. Greg F.

    Kohler Command 26 HP

    This thing has bent push rods from the day I bought it new. Did it during delivery from the dealer. He loaded it back up and brought it back the next day. After that while it was under warranty I would take them a bent one and they would give me a new one. I remember asking them one day if this...

    Kohler Command 26 HP

    I have Googled the push rod thing a few times. Seems to be pretty common. I quit letting it bother me when it bends one. I keep a couple of spares and just change them out when it happens. Takes about five minutes. No valve noise and runs good right up to when it bends one. Anyway, the carb...

    Kohler Command 26 HP

    I have an older Deere garden tractor with a Kohler Command V twin 26 HP engine. A couple of years ago it needed the carburetor redone and I had the worst time finding a kit for it. I finally found parts and had to buy three different kits to rebuild it as each kit only took care a small part of...

    Rebuilding a 410E Automatic. Something I can do????

    They are not all that complicated. Please don't reuse the old converter. It's worth the money to start fresh. A small amount of metal in it or too much wear in the clutch will have you taking it out to do again at least change the converter because it will still shutter on lockup if it has too...
