    Stihl 017 wont stay running

    This may solve the problem I'd bet: http://cgi.ebay.com/STIHL-CHAINSAW-017-PISTON-CYLINDER_W0QQitemZ260357547881QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3c9e84e769&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

    Stihl 017 wont stay running

    American tools

    We can joke among ourselves a little. They are a proud people who do well in life. I don't make insults, so address it to j heitkemper. Still, I don't think they would care one way or another. My wife is the only Chinese import that I don't regret... does that little joke offend you too...

    American tools

    I am getting carried away with rejecting this new wave of Chinese tools. I won"t knowingly buy one anymore. I like the heft and overall quality of American tools. Anyhow, what I need right now is a 20 ton bottle jack. All I have found are made in China (Craftsman, Home Depot and Lowes)...

    Learned a valuable farm economics lesson today

    Looking through some old Scientific American magazines (1880"s) I saw an article that really surprised me - showed what some grocery prices were, such as dozen eggs, milk, etc. and as a percent of a person"s income, prices were MUCH higher back then. In fact, some of that stuff was almost...
