Generator starting issues.
Injector cleaner fuel additive added to the mower tank (also tillers and other not regularly used small engine equipment) at about twice the recommended concentration for autos seems to work well for me without the disassembly of the carburetor. I do it last use of season and first use of... -

Coal heat
Maurice-- Great idea since home heating and farm use are the only two exemptions I am aware of granted by EPA for burning coal without the additions of scrubbers for coal ash and sulfur compound removal. The problems - - the coal burning by-products will rust out your shiny metal shop roof in... -

Actually if I remember correctly from my tour of the foundry during school, the freeze out plug holes are the sprue holes where the inside sand casting form is attached and held in place to the outside casting form during casting and yes the sand from the...- k9mills

Blurry Question.
Guido..... After your answer was posted, I happened to be in the shop and scratched around until I found the box with the meters in it. I have two dual range volt meters, 1 volt/ammeter and one single range volt meter; all look essentially like the blurry picture. In the days before REA... -

Evilbolwevl, In the same type carburetor in three different tractors in the last year, I have found leaking floats (sometimes called sunken floats). In two of the three, I removed the floats from the arm and soldered on good floats canabalized from old carbs to solve the problem. FOR SAFETY DO...- k9mills

Shop Attic blow in insulation
Rick, Cellulose is much more corrosive to things like truss plates and connectors. Should you have a leak, heaven forbid, 8" of cellulose turns in to an inch or so of paper mache'. Fiberglas or mineral wool is much more forgiving. If your ceiling is anything like porous, put down a layer of...- k9mills

Blurry Question.
Guido The meter pictured is a prewar B+ as in tube type radio battery checker. The old battery radios (20's and 30's) before the days of REA, (Rural Electrification Administration) required two batteries one, the A battery of 1.5 to 3 volts powered the tube filaments while the B+ battery... -

Staining wood
Savage used beech, birch and maple for the stocks of their lower priced line. I suspect that you are dealing with a maple stock. Minwax is probably the most versatile stain out there however, it will not yield uniform results on gun stocks because it is a particulate suspended in an oil base... -

Do you remember the Jeepers Creeper?
My dad was a mecanic for the local farmall dealer in the late 40's through the early 60's. I inherited his creeper and I still roll around under my 51 super A. The steel wheels are so worn that they are knife edged. Last Saturday, I rolled over my work light drop cord and cut the wire almost... -

OT-Stabilizing stream bank
PaMike There are several approaches to stream bank stabilization. First and perhaps easiest is to dump rip-rap stone (6" - 8" stones) and work them into a dense cover for the exposed earth bank followed by a layer of 2"- 3" crushed stone to fill between the larger rip-rap stones. Another...- k9mills

Removing a broken bit in drill chuck
Best way from experience is to use a dremel tool with an abrasive cutter. Slice down each side of the outer casing, split with a chisel and the chuck fingers will fall out with a little persuasion. All else fails, after the outer housing is removed, cut through the chuck finger housing. Once... -

I have antifreeze coming out of my carburetor drain
Been a while since I've been into a late 8N, however, the carburetor if I remember correctly has two chambers; one is the fuel bowl, the other the air intake passageway. On earlier MS carburetors, on the intake side was provided about a 1/16" hole in the bottom for overflow drainage when the...- k9mills

I have antifreeze coming out of my carburetor drain
If the carburetor is a Marvel Schebler, i.e. the only one that I know of that has a drain hole in the bottom near the intake side; which was generally used on early flathead fords; 9N or 2N. This usually means that either you have a blown head gasket or a cracked head or block with antifreeze...- k9mills
