    Soldering gland on fuel line

    I still have a handful of lead sticks, and a pot, and spoons, and the ceramic wool gloves as were used in body work. Even the factories used to lead in the panel seams when cars transitioned to all-steel bodies. Some purists wanted lead only in their restoration work, and would pay dearly for...

    Disk Blades

    I remember when low-end replacement discs were around $12 apiece, and the 4-gauge versions were just under $20. They were so cheap and plentiful once they got a little worn they would be replaced, and there was no trouble getting stacks hauled away for 4½¢ a pound. That was after using them...

    stuck valves

    If a valve becomes truly stuck, bigger problems can occur. This one had the rocker removed, which was pretty easy at the time, being in two pieces:

    stuck valves

    If the engine starts and runs until "once the engine warms up it runs ok" the valve(s) are not really stuck, per se, but possibly sticking. Two-cycle oil added to the fuel can help prevent that to some extent, but if they are sticking due to float or carbon accumulation, changing oil on a...

    Deer hunting advice.

    It's not always the person you are interacting with that will bring liability claims. If someone is injured, their attorney, their medical insurance carrier's attorneys, and/or estate attorneys will file actions against the landowner, their insurance, their offspring, their dog, and...

    An old water pump, help please

    Agreed with @560Dennis. That looks pretty good considering it was exposed to water some time ago. I'm thinking it is salvageable.

    An old water pump, help please

    I really get a grin when someone thanks ME for pointing a finger in their direction so that THEY get to do all the work. Almost makes me feel like a politician...

    Soldering gland on fuel line

    ^ Agreed. Harris Stay-Clean is available in small containers and is suitable for steel, copper, and lower bronze alloys for use with silver and nickel bearing solders.

    An old water pump, help please

    It could help to back off the nuts on the packing gland and use a pick to carefully pull out the old packing rings so they can be re-used. Get some oil into the shaft from that end, and that might help ease things a bit. With the packing removed, it would also be safer to heat that area to...

    Wicked saw

    If the brush gets that thick it might be time to call in a napalm delivery. I'll bet that design saw can take the operator for a ride in a hurry.

    Allis Chalmers “B” overhaul

    Might also want to verify float level.

    Getting Decals Made

    1956 - After the Altec merge in 1941, and after the split to JBL.

    Getting Decals Made

    The place mentioned above quoted me $45 for a sheet of waterslide decal prints, regardless of how many of what is printed on the sheet. I needed three-color decals to for restoration of some vintage speakers:

    Trailer wiring

    Yes, but not necessarily in that order. I've done EMT as a protective/support wireway on more than one trailer, and there is just enough zinc on most hardware store variety thinwall to survive a decade or more of snowmobile and boat hauling. Trailer wiring is frequently the best example of...
