    Grounding hook up

    OK guys here is the set up, I have 4 #6 cu wires in a 2 inch pvc line to the barn fed from a 60 amp breaker. With the old sub panel (round fuses) I had no problems with the small motors ( grinder drill press Tire changer hand tools that I use) from low voltage. Just not sure whether to hook up...

    Propane Torch

    Have a permit but in 50 years here have never had a problem. Even if I had my pistol on he hit me from a blind side and I could not have drawn and shot. I now carry all the time in case he is stupid enough to return and the doors are dead bolted. Don't like to live this way. Lakeguy

    Rounded of bolt heads on intake manifold of '97 F-150

    I am not a Ford man but if the bolt goes into an aluminum part it will help to sharply strike on the bolt head. Many times I have only been able to get a steel bolt out of an aluminum part by first beating on the bolt.

    While viewing this post I membered I have a similar if not the same gun hanging on the inside of my gun safe . Sure enough it appears to be the same with a .360 bore and a little of the chrome plating is missing, also the top release is currently frozen. The gun came from my late father-in-laws...

    husqvarna chainsaw nightmare

    Had to install a new piston and jug on a 55 rancher one time and had the same problem. After much head scratching I found the new base gasket was partially covering the carb-fuel pump vacuum port from the crankcase. Opened up the gasket no more problems.

    SeaFoam

    I have used Sea foam to help clean out bad gas and it seems to do some good. Your best fuel in the stand by's is the NO alcohol fuel, it's expensive but well worth the extra cost. You can find the stations that sell it in your state by going to purefuel.org. Lots of times it is available near...

    Repaint metal building siding

    I helped a friend do this one time. He bought a water base paint made for just this purpose and we sprayed it with my airless sprayer.
