Thanks. It was like a Chinese finger puzzle! With spray lube and putting it in vice, it has to have tension to work, pulling rope out away from it locks rope in place. With rope in close to other ropes releases catch letting rope out. Thanks! Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

This should be simple, but I can't figure it out. My Dad had some block and tackles, all made similar to these two. I have a great use for one now, hoisting something about 150# up for storage. They all have a locking mechanism (a cam lock I'd call it) and I get it to hoist and mechanism holds...

I'm no carpenter but can't imagine doing that. Rotted ones should be replaced, and I'd carefully inspect everything else for rot. At the very least I'd cut them about a foot or so below rot and parallel with new 6x6 bolting together with galvanized 3/4" carriage bolts, washers, nuts. A bolt...

Smart people headed South! Twenty inches is painful enough, 20 feet would smother a giraffe. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

On ebay or Amazon you can get brass hose ends, cut the junky aluminum one off. I've never tried a quick connect like for hydraulic or air. I wouldn't use teflon tape. Grease maybe, but I've never had a problem brass to brass. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

I found this in the lake[emoji38], apparently left by a trespassing fisherman. Before and after cleaning, $8 new...but free. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

Garage? Fire? Trapped? No escape window? Watch me make one![emoji38] Security would be a mean dog or simple alarm system until you make bars for windows. The 2x4s should be placed outside on ground below windows, nails sticking up out of them. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

We stopped by to visit my 94 yo Mom, Mother's day, found these down at the lake under water. After cleaning I see initials "JTT" on them. Who would waste their time initialing an $8 pair of needle nose pliers I thought...then I thought who would waste an hour cleaning them up! [emoji38][emoji23]...

Latest example: I have a 60 yo British car no spark. I ordered (quality I thought) points and condenser. A test drive down our road, turn around going back it cuts off. I push it along then up driveway (thankfully almost level [emoji2]). Guess what...no spark, Lucas ignition. I check condenser...

Try Mouser or Digikey. If you know coil voltage, contact ratings, size, etc. you should be able to match a replacement. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

I ordered two curved jaw vice grips yesterday, one USA made, other Germany. One has a wire cutter built in. I have so many old USA made Craftsman tools and over time I discover ones have walked off. (We had different people here in garage years ago...but not now.) I have straight jaw ones, mine...

I have a 2017 John Deere 3038E I'm trying to plumb in a hydraulic top link and spool valve. On back of tractor is power beyond for backhoe (I bought tractor new with lots of attachments). I have very limited hydraulic knowledge. The spool valve I got recently top ports go to cylinder, P port...

Wife collects old railroad date nails, most are rusty. She soaks them in vinegar and they look great. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

Second recommendation for 40v Greenworks. I've (abused) mine for years, works great. I have a Stihl MS291 but use this little battery one all the time. Quiet, light, cuts well especially limbs, small trees. Sent from my SM-S205DL using Tapatalk

I grew up in the country, high school I went to was in a little town which was the was the county seat. Over time the county grew and so did taxes. Now you wouldn't recognize that small town since they have a multi-million dollar administration building. The point is as a kid the county...
