    Need a new PC for home use, its a tool too.

    I've had good experience buying refurbished - direct from Dell or some other reputable provider. Price is good and unlike 'new' PC it isn't loaded with 'extra' programs that somebody thinks you need, will like, will buy etc., I love my laptop but each to their own - maybe OP has some reason to...

    I had a conversation with deepseek AI about pH

    Wo Agreed - but not just simply lost, it's more like infected and now with the potential to spread disinformation. I wonder how it would respond if it was in a position requiring it to "lose face" or to question authority? Oh, wait, that would suggest it was sentient not just a piece of...

    How do you cope ?

    We all grieve differently but NoDakInMN said it well with <best way to honor the memory of a beloved friend is to give the same opportunity to another companion> and if I could put a word in for the older residents of the Animal Shelters & Rescue groups - I know when the time comes I'm not going...

    Exhaust leak at rear exhaust port.

    2x what Harry & Dan say - also search the archives with keyword Thermosteel - you'll find lots and lots of info / caveats on manifold repair at #4 - like don't double up on gaskets and do use brass nuts. See also the 75 hints. Never again in lifetime? YMMV. Probably depends on the extent...

    Toaster Tool

    My toaster is fast and even . . . it will also ensure that you are awake and paying attention - with a burn (thermal or electrical). Sadly no pop-up or auto shut-off.

    Bad starter button?

    Just replaced mine last week - 8N,side,6v - with the 12v unit from this site. Simple job except for the somewhat inaccessible 2nd screw. Disconnect battery - to avoid nasty surprises if you short out the cables! My old one was still functional - just needed occasional percussive encouragement...

    8N Starter Button Malfunction

    Dan - not wishing to hijack the OP’s thread - but I’m looking at replacing button too - so regarding the transmission cover - does it come off, go back on easy? Any gotchas? Don’t want to borrow trouble if I really don’t need to. TIA.

    8n sputters and dies when on a hill

    Could there be an issue with the carb float hanging up when tractor isn't flat & level?

    3 point question

    Agreed - I was maybe too focused on the "pull fallen trees" and visualizing a dragged log snagging on unseen undergrowth and coming to an abrupt unexpected stop - that'll lift the front and test your ability to hit the clutch? Small craft: HMS Wilkieston. TON class inshore minesweeper. Off...

    3 point question

    x2 on the chains. Apologies if teaching granny to suck eggs - but - you mention pulling fallen trees out of woods - to avoid flipping over backwards keep that connection point lowdown and indeed maybe connect to front bumper and pull in reverse.

    Help/How To Guide

    cpratt Thanks for full answer. So, basically it's an answer looking for a question? Agreed - ranking/evaluation is an area where "here there be dragons". I'm familiar w/ Googling a problem and finding an answer on a forum - and that answer is flagged as "best answer" - to which my response is...

    Help/How To Guide

    Also - what is "Reaction Score" ? What's the range? Is 0 good or just average? Can it be -ve?? Does is get re-evaluated periodically? Am I the react-er or react-ee? I'm reminded of a sign at old workplace (and a bygone age) it read "Sxxual harassment will not be tolerated - however it...

    Ah, not exactly. She is HMS Wilkieston. TON class inshore minesweeper. Off Singapore 1969. Happy days for a young Midshipman. :D

    New format

    I think we are talking at cross purposes. I'm talking about the date/time at top left of every post (the date/time of that post) and the #number at top right of every post (the relative number of that post within that thread) - Why are those clickable ? Doesn't seem to serve any purpose that I...

    New format

    Thank you for replies! Found the up arrow - Thanks! Next/previous and reading sequentially - is perhaps driven by the fact that sometimes the thread starter's "subject" line is a little vague . . . and one has to skim through the 1st post to see if thread might be interesting. I'm an...

    New format

    Yep, change is bad but sometimes you just have to "improve the user experience" . .:unsure: . . but two questions - where's the "next/previous topic" links that used to be at top right of a thread, and where's the 'back to top' that used to be in each post (on left by the 'report' link as I...

    Garden hose inline transfer pump

    I have HF 110v pump submerged in rain barrel - hose goes up to the deck - flow is controlled by one of those remote wireless on/off switches - no need to run up/down to spigot / main switch. Uses bluetooth - may not have the range you require.

    CORDLESS DRILL POWER

    my rope start has me pulling up and at a angle - very awkward. Fortunately when it is needed for house power it runs outside under the deck (open on 3 sides, plenty of ventilation!) - I set a pulley block in the beam above it and extended the start rope through the pulley - so now I am pulling...

    Need a new printer/scanner. Suggestions?

    Have an Epson 645 for at least 5+ yrs. print, copy, scan &amp; fax - color, 2 sided print/copy - WiFi. No issues. Uses about $100 of ink cartridges per yr. If I was replacing I'd seriously look at the refillable ink machines rather than cartridge. However - the most important issue to me...
