Karen has her own tools for woodworking in the basement, the whole basement. I have the mechanic tools in the garage. Never been a question, never will. She kept needing an 11mm wrench, I bought her two for Christmas. She didn't even have to ask why two. She is a keeper!

McBane, Thanks very much for enlightening me. The blower has sat outside for 5 years. No info available from the seller. I think I will hold out for a PTO blower. Thanks again, Bill

3 point mount

I found what looks like a decent deal on a snowblower for my Kubota. The only thing I am unsure of is that it is hydraulic rather than PTO. Does anyone here have experience with the hydraulic snow blowers? Thanks much for any input Bill

Today I tried 3 pieces of threaded rod with nuts and washers through the stud holes. Kept turning one nut at a time and it eventually pulled the sleeve of the hub right out of the inner bearing, leaving the bearing still in the spindle. 1 cotter pin, 3 nuts and about 6 whacks with a hammer...

I am going to invest one more hour in this. If it isn't apart by then I am buying a new spindle. Thanks to all for the suggestions

Thanks to all for the suggestions. So far I have bolts through the stud holes and the only thing that appears to be happening is that the bearing migt be coming apart. I tried heating the thing with all the force the bolts could muster and nothing is happening. I may have to burn the...

I haven't because I don't want to damage the shaft and cv joint. I will give it a shot. I just always worry about the CV joint. Thanl you!

Trying to pull the left front hub out of my 2004 Yukon Denali as ythe bearing is bad. I have done at least 20 of these over the years and always got them apart without too mich trouple. Except for today Got all the bolts off, caliper off, caliper bracket off etc. Trying to get the hub loose...

Back when I worked on a concrete crew we pulled them before the dlab set up and fillede them

I screwed some flat stock to the wall studs and in each bay I have a chain doubled twice and laid in there so I can just grab the hooks and pull out the chain I want. Short chains hang full length. Doesn't take up any floor space and keeps them handy

I'm in Lebanon, where in Norwich are you building the garage? I could drive by and live vicariously through you lol! Seriously, sounds like a nice build and I am happy for you. Bill

Pelican Pines, thank you. I was hesitant with the oxy actetylene but used just a little bit of heat and the fitting turned right off. Thanks!

I have a Snapper model 020397 pressure washer. It's been a great purchase but now that it needs a new hose I can't get the danged thing off the pump! It is threaded, but I can't budge it. I even tried cutting the plastic off to get to the hex fitting and I still can't budge it. Do they glue...

Honda Shadow that needs paint and reassembly, pressure washer that needs new hose and wand, can't get the old one off to save my life. ATV needs carb cleaned. Clean the mess out of the garage
