    Trailer coupler broke

    Just keep the sliding coupler cleaned and lubricated. It you've ever had one rust shut, you will know why.

    John Deere M timing question

    Smoke from the "fill stack" as in the oil fill tube? If so, that would likely be combustion blowby. That always happens to some extent under load, but is normally to an extent that is completely unnoticeable, or barely noticeable. More modern engines address crankcase pressure with PCV valves...

    Hydro-sonic cleaner

    This is a little reminiscent of the old toilet paper oil filter cartridges. They seemed economical until toilet paper was rationed, and until particulate counters become commonplace.

    Grease

    One thing I have not seen in quite a while is open gear and wire rope grease. It is high-tack, and has a narrow temperature range, but is excellent in its intended applications. Is that stuff still out in the marketplace?

    Grease

    I find myself defaulting to Polyrex grease (Mobil) when there are no specifications for a given applications. It covers a lot of bases for general purpose, except EP needs. For ball, roller, and sleeve bearings under moderate loads and up to very high roller surface speeds. it excels. Water...

    I am stumped on this one.

    Battery Chargers...

    I have a similar 40/225 from September of '83. I've had to open, clean, and lube the fan before. It's just a small shaded pole motor and has just enough torque to spin a propeller a little, but gets the job done. After 40+ years, it probably deserves a little attention.

    What is it

    Nope. Wrong polarity for that...

    Classic still in use

    The T-Rex on the front bumper is a nice touch - Very telling.

    Milwaukee Sawzalls - corded vs battery

    Going up and down to swap batteries and CO2 canisters is not profitable.

    a good tyre slide hammer

    My pump is air operated, which is never a problem in the shop for the Port-A-Power or anything else. Dragging around a compressor can be a hindrance if a person wants to do field work. Then again, doing tire service (field or otherwise) a compressor is eventually a "must have" to at least...

    a good tyre slide hammer

    I did the same. I am contemplating getting one of the newer battery powered hydraulic pumps since I also have Port-A-Power cylinders and pullers, so that makes it a bit more justifiable. The Enerpac, Milwaukee, and Greenlee versions are at or above $6K, but the Rain Forest types are closer to...

    Milwaukee Sawzalls - corded vs battery

    When your 18V NiMH flashlight saw lasts this long, come back to discuss it: http://www.wwdsltd.com/files/MilwaukeeSawZall.jpg This one still runs like it was 1967.

    RACOONS IN THE BARN

    No doubt about it - You need a bigger cat.

    Allis Chalmers B oil pressure gauge

    If it is resolution that concerns you, a 30 PSI gauge with a 270° sweep will provide better resolution than a 20 PSI gauge with 90° sweep.
