    Just a question

    Just sitting here pondering things this morning. If you had a 3/4 inch hitch pin and a 3/4 inch bolt say grade 5 or grade 8 would the 3/4 inch bolt be as strong as the 3/4 inch hitch pin?

    Magical fix?

    Anybody have a magical fix for making a hydraulic jack quit leaking from this point? Harbor freight Jack not too interested in trying to find parts for it. Probably better off just buying a new Jack. I’ve tried power steering fluid with Stop leak in it but that didn’t work.

    Snake oil, what to use.

    Have a onan performer 16 hp on a welder/generator that sat for will over 2 years. I cleaned the crap gas out of it and ran a bunch of sea foam in it and it still seems to have a miss, and seems to run rich. I know it did not have a miss before it sat for 2 years i‘m thinking maybe gum on the...
