    Turkeys

    Between tough winters and hunting wild turkeys were pretty much extinct in Mich in the early 1900's . We imported them from neighboring states especially Pennsylvania in the 50's. See them all the time in SE Michigan and 'the thumb'. Michigan State Univ has a good article on their recovery if...

    Anti-freeze

    I never buy 'pre-mixed'. Whatever the correct antifreeze indicated for your application getting the correct ratio to give at least 50:50 important especially in northern climates. You drain the old, flush w fresh water and / or your preferred 'cooling system cleaner' running and circulating...

    Replacement funnel strainers

    There are mesh to micron conversion charts on google. Just don't get it too fine or you'll be waiting for the fuel to flow the thru funnel. Copper or brass sounds like a good idea too - easier to shape than SS

    Replacement funnel strainers

    I have a lock in funnel as well. When my screen filter disappeared had to cut out a replacement and shape to fit the funnel. You're looking for 100 - 200 gauge mesh (US measurement) which is adequate for initial particulate filtering that may have found it's way into a fuel can. Or you could...

    NEED HELP, NEW PROJECT (NOT A TRACTOR) - 110 year old Barn Find Studebaker

    Interesting design of the era due to the limits of casting large metal components. They must have used a ring compressor from below while assembling. Fortunately, you've got plenty of other things to keep you busy on the Stude while giving the solvents an opportunity to free up the rings. Good...

    NEED HELP, NEW PROJECT (NOT A TRACTOR) - 110 year old Barn Find Studebaker

    my .02... You are fortunate that at a glance the bottom of the engine looks ok, intact and no chunks of metal found laying in the pan. Would be helpful if you had additional individuals that are intimately familiar with these vintage engines give guidance on how to proceed with disassembly /...

    Building Doors for Shop Loft Storage Area

    Suggest keep the doors as lightweight as possible. You're going to need to be able to lift and hook them - maybe standing on a ladder. 'Mouse trap' doors like this are the most dangerous. Consider a pulley / counterweight system rather than lifting and hooking

    Coincidently, there is a 1916 Studebaker ED-6 on p. 67 of the July, 2026 Hemmings which sold at Bonhams, Scottsdale, Az auction recently. Looks like yours but shinier.

    back pack sprayers

    Had good luck with Jacto high end backpack sprayers. Prefer manual pump handle style without a pump and batteries. Determine how much weight you want to carry deciding on 3 gal vs 5 gal. The good news - they get lighter the more you spray
