    String Trimmer Woes

    I have a Makita 4-cycle trimmer with the bump & feed head. ....I bought several extra heads (not expensive) because it is faster to change the head than to stop and install new line. Dirt & grass debris will affect the bump & feed mechanism. ....Before installing a new line, I open the heads...

    I also used 1/4-turn FULL PORT ball valves on a pressure blaster. .....They are inexpensive to replace when worn. If you are the only person using the blaster, common sense keeps you safe. ....If you are having someone else using the blaster, protect yourself from liability by replacing the...

    Repairing Farmall H case - chunk missing

    If you elect to go with an epoxy fix, I suggest drilling small holes or grinding slots into the broken edges of the casting. These will allow the epoxy to key into the casting and provide resistance for the epoxy to break away from the casting. I believe a metal-filled epoxy should be used.
