TSC JobSmart sandblaster replacement tips
I have a cheap siphon feed abrasive blaster from TSC, which uses a conical steel tip. Although the tip is removable, it seems that nobody, including TSC carries replacement tips. TSC does carry ceramic tip that fit other sandblasters, but they won't work in my tool. When my tip wore out, I... -
Sabotage?!
Two weeks ago I loaded up my 2017 Silverado 2500HD Duramax with tools and headed out to Colobraska to help my sister with an eviction. She was renting her property and commercial building to a body repairman/shade-tree mechanic, but he wasn't paying rent, refused to get insurance and had turned...- MarkB_MI

Clipped head framing nails
I have a Porter-Cable framing nailer (FC350A) that takes 34 degree clipped head nails. When I went to buy some more nails, I found that neither Lowe's nor HD stock the clipped-head nails any more. I can find nails for my gun online, but it seems the 3 inch galvanized ring-shank nails I like to... -
Pressure brake bleeder
I'm in the market for a pressure brake bleeder. Y'all have any recommendations? I'm talking about the devices that pressurize the master cylinder reservoir, NOT the vacuum bleeders that suck fluid out the calipers. A pressure bleeder seems to be the best solution for one-person brake... -
Row crop leveling box update
Back in December I posted about how I need to replace the leveling box assembly on my row crop four cylinder 4000. It looked like the best solution might be to use the leveling box for a three-banger, since these are roughly the same length as the four-cylinder row crop. I kind of left y'all... -
Sextant
I've always wanted to own a sextant. Not because I actually need one; I just thought it would be a cool thing to have. Last week that thought came back when I decided our Florida condo really needs a sextant hanging on the wall. So I started shopping, and it turns out you can buy all sorts of... -
62 year old tractor saves the day
Yesterday I noticed some flashing lights next door and went to investigate. A flat-bed wrecker was trying to retrieve a stuck Amazon electric delivery van and wasn't having much luck. The neighbor's driveway has ponds on either side, and apparently the front end of the van slid off the...- MarkB_MI

Row crop leveling box
Shouldn't it be possible to make the leveling box link shorter than the fixed link on the other side? My fixed link is about 29 inches from pin to pin, but I can only shorten my leveling box link to about 30. Once I screw it in that far the screw just spins without getting any shorter. Also... -
TPMS battery life
It's been my experience that the TPMS batteries in newer GM vehicles have shorter life than older ones. The TPMS sensors in our 2012 GMC Acadia were working perfectly fine this past spring when I had them replaced along with the tires. I figured they must have been nearing their end-of-life...- MarkB_MI

Name brand brake parts
There was a post the other day about ill-fitting brake pads. I think the pads in question were AZ house brand. Yesterday I did a quickie brake job on our 2012 Acadia (pads and rotors, but not calipers) and had a quite different experience. I used Akebono brake pads. I've heard that Akebono... -
String trimmers with solid shafts
My 30 year-old Stihl FS 85 is toast, and I'm shopping today for a replacement. The FS85 has a solid drive shaft, and it's my understanding that most of the mid-range trimmers use a flexible shaft even though the shaft is straight. Stihl specifically states that the FS91R has a solid shaft, but... -
Gelled fuel
It was 0F yesterday morning at our place. I had plugged in the block heater on my Chevy Duramax the night before and it started right up. I headed into town and made it about five miles when my truck lost power. I managed to pull into a parking lot and called my wife. We went to the auto...- MarkB_MI

Wonky hydroboost update
A couple of months ago I posted about problems I was having with a reman hydroboost I had installed in my Silverado 2500 HD. I was losing boost at random times, which was a bit disconcerting. Well, I replaced the reman booster with a brand-new AC Delco unit and my problems completely...- MarkB_MI

Quiet shop vacuum
I've been meaning to buy another shop vac for a while, since it seems like every time I need to use the vac it's always at a different house than where I'm working. Plus, it's getting hard to find filters for my 30 year-old Craftsman. So I checked out the offerings at Lowes and HD, and I ended... -
Wonky hydroboost
A couple weeks ago the brake booster on my 2017 Chevy 2500 Duramax started leaking, so I replaced it. A new AC Delco booster is over 500 bucks, so I opted for a reman unit from O'Reilly for $210. Since replacing the booster, my brakes MOSTLY work OK, except when they don't. Every so often...- MarkB_MI

FM radio earmuff update
A month ago I posted a question, asking if there is a better FM radio earmuff than my mediocre 3M WorkTunes. It seems there isn't, which is unfortunate because you'd think there would be a market for a high-end noise-cancelling ear protector with FM radio reception. But several folks... -
FM radio earmuffs
Does anyone make a decent set of hearing protectors with a built-in radio? I have a couple pairs of 3M WorkTune earmuffs and they aren't all that great. They're acceptable with most of my outdoor power equipment, but are almost useless with my ZTR mower. As soon as I engage the mower deck... -
Munn Tractor closed
While getting parts at a local store, I overheard someone say Tri-County Tractor had bought Munn Tractor in Auburn Hills, MI. Apparently this happened over a year ago, but it's been awhile since I'd been to Munn. My closest CNH dealer is now in Sandusky, MI, a one and a half hour drive... -
No individual tools at HF
I needed to cut the box end of a 22 mm wrench to make a flare nut wrench, and I didn't feel like wrecking my Craftsman wrench. So I stopped off at Harbor Freight (The Store I Love to Hate), to pick up a cheap wrench. What I found was a very large display of all kinds of end wrench SETS, but NO... -
Editing Preview
Hello Chris, I've noticed that when you preview your post, it becomes read-only. I'm not sure if that's a bug or a feature; on most sites if you hit preview you're presented with both the preview and a second text box that you can edit. Thanks for all your work keeping the old site alive and...- MarkB_MI
