That's a really old brushcutter. Late 70's, early 80's. At that time they ran 25 to 1 to a minimum of 32 to 1 oil mix. I spent years working on them and as long as it runs, it will do a great job. However, if it begins to suffer carb or ignition issues, it becomes a wall hanger. The old...

Well, the 31st is my birthday so Happy Birthday to me.

I can't add much to what Kevin said as he is 100% right about tools and finding a good mentor. I would advise you to buy the best you can afford it will be cheaper in the long run, at least in my opinion. I spent 20 years in the tool room before I was injured in an automobile crash. The only...

I use a 1975 model Kennedy 278 roll cab with a 1982 model Gerstner Oak (O-62 model) top chest. Prior to the Gerstner I used a Kennedy 526 top chest.

19235 is a knock out pin, it is used to "knock" the valve seat counter bore cutter from the shank it is driven by.

The WTF tool is a bar groove cleaner from Oregon Saw Chain. Just stick the hook end in the chainsaw bar groove and pull. It will snag the built up sap, bar oil and saw dust and pull it out. I used to give the away when ever I sold a new chain saw bar to a customer. Now they have a plastic...

I have a set of boxes for the SAE and another set for the Metric plus a separate box for Specialty tools. And my wife bought me a new old stock Craftsman 41" cabinet a couple of years ago at a Sears repair center store that was closing down for 1/3 of retail price because of a scratch. I use it...

In 1980 I was privileged enough to be in on the ground floor as a new machine shop was set up. Myself and one other machinist got to un-crate the new machines, clean them up and do the initial set up after they were wired by the electrician. I was the first to inspect and run a brand new 1980...

Got mine today. Wife a little confused, it came in a plain brown wrapper. Mailed out on 3/11/2010 according to post mark.

I have 3 of the one on the bottom and have used them for about 5 years. They are fairly sturdy and I have been pleased. One of them holds my saw chain grinder and has made the grinder much more handy than when I mounted it on my bench. One thing I like is the grinder/stand assembly is very easy...

When you catch your wife, who used to turn wrenches in the family business occassionaly, tightening a bolt with tools from the "loaner" box and it disappoints you to see that. Then the next day the Snap on Man stops by work, and you buy her a new 3/8" drive Snap On socket set. That she...

If the nutdriver has serrations like you say, then it is probably a Poulan/Weedeater emissions carb adjusting tool. The Sheet metal assembly is part of an Air vane governor on an old Horizontal shaft Briggs engine. The heavy metal piece with the bolts is a flywheel puller. I can't see the other...

Poulan's are famous for leaks. I've worked on many of them. The best idea came during a Husqvarna (some of the smaller Huskys are actually Poulans) service school I attended. When you are done cutting, let the saw sit on the ground or on a newspaper for about 30 minutes. This lets the pressure...
