Parts Cleaner Sovent
Limonene-D. It's been around for quite a while. It is slightly acidic, contains natural solvent oils and usually some alcohols and hydrocarbons. -
anyone else have this problem
So far, this one only prunes the lower limbs from the blue spruce, white- and Norway pines around my perimeter. I find sticks all over the turf area, and splinters in his droppings. At least I know the pine is edible.- Watthour

anyone else have this problem
It's not only labs, although they seem to have a propensity for thievery. How about this one? Standing on a short ladder one day, holding up a piece of siding with the left hand and forearm, feeding a nail to that hand with the other, then reaching down to get the hammer out of the loop on...- Watthour

Auction find
I also have a K&E, a Precision plastic, and a basswood/brass. I had to dig them out and couldn't find my round one (too easy to hide), but I did find my first electronic version. Amazingly, it still functions with a fresh 9V in it. I can still do up to cubes on the K scale, but would have... -
Parts Cleaner Sovent
I've had one of those low-buck parts washers for about 20+ years. I've found that diesel fuel is actually pretty good for cleaning off routine grime that a hot water wash doesn't get. I've also dosed it on occasion with a touch of acetone, lacquer thinner, mineral spirits, ethanol, and other... -
Heavy rust primer goop
I use that regularly on raw castings coming from the foundry. They sit for months before machining to allow them to stabilize. It's less expensive and more effective than thermal normalizing, Wheel-A-Brator, or other methods of stress relief. It machines off easily and protects well in the... -

Our farm’s new horse
That looks like a decent pick. The "plus" I think I see is that the rubber looks reasonable, and they may have been off recently. Reasonable corrosion that will be a nice off-season maintenance project, and intact cab. Hopefully that works out for you in the Connertucky Zone.- Watthour

Ring Test on a grinding wheel.
...Except on a form grinder. Or a Blanchard grinder. Or a Hertlein grinder. Or... You get the point. Every "rule" has exceptions. A more correct statement would be to avoid using the sides of wheels on general pedestal or bench grinders, NOT designed for that. -

Another sugaring season done, or almost.
I have no experience with tapping maples, but I appreciate those of you who do. Maple syrup is one of my favorite things, and I just can't take flavored corn syrup. Most of what I get is from Wisconsin, so I hope I'm supporting some of your efforts. Keep it up!- Watthour

502 BBC heads question ?
A simpler alternative is a Deere D engine - 501 CID with only two bores. Similarly, there were a couple of head variations for that one, too. What sort of induction are you using? -
John Deere M timing question
It is defined as a cut-out relay on factory diagrams. Regulation, or the closest thing to it, is crudely controlled by a resistor mounted to the ignition switch with both high and low settings for charging control. I normally keep mine on high unless the tractor has run for an extended period...- Watthour

Plastic tool box disintegrating
As long as we a playing taps, here's another option. The red is metric, because that's how it is. The Plano boxes are not quite large enough to hold my larger pipe taps, so they are in wood boxes. I went this way to allow them to fit into tool chest drawers for easier access. I also...
