We had a 14 foot John boat used for ice rescue operations on northern Huron. Had it sprayed with line-x. Worked great to reduce the slippery surfaces, stopped the leaks. Tripled the weight of the boat. Made a perfectly horrible day of training! We also had to enlarge our little gas kicker to 15...

Download a P/T chart. Keep it in your hand when using the gages. After that understand super heat and sub cooling (not so important for cars- but essential to understanding what happens in big systems). I always used a chart I got like 5 of for free in school. Parker (I think) printed them...

Maybe gentle work with a roller and heat gun?

Might check with Auburn Clutch- they rebuild alot of unavailable clutches for weird cars. If anyone knows it would be them.

Clean. Clean everything thing you are working on before you start. Then clean each part as you take it out. Then clean the areas you have now exposed by removing other parts. The simple act of removing dirt and looking to ensure cleanliness will often as not teach you to see the details you...

We get a brand called thickster at work. Sizes seem a bit small, I usually wear a L but in these need an XL. Otherwise they are the best disposable gloves I have come across. Impervious to hydraulic, grease, fuels, and tough as nails.

I have a dp200. Why? Cause I always seemed to need a drill press and came across this old one. Original motor, early with no guard on the belts. It's bearings were all good, motor ran silent, no wobble to the run out, no arc of shame. Ended up my sister bought it for me as a birthday gift...

Welcome from Lafayette!

And for smaller applications my reversable safety wire pliers.

I have redwings- they take a beating. Hold up really well to grease and oil, and the soles wear like iron. Do yourself a favor- budget about $50 for the insoles- makes them as comfortable as house slippers the second you put them on.

Lafayette here- welcome!

That safety guard is spring loaded and colapses as you drill down. Sort of neat. I bought one for one of my previous units just to pass our safety inspections.

Car pics?

Very cool! I have been contemplating a smoker build, but that is way down on my honeydew list.

I got busy with a new job- sort of stopped visiting GJ, but decided after several months I had to check this particular thread. Hope all is well! Can't wait to see a new update.

Welcome aboard! Tons of great folks and information here.... put your credit cards in a block of ice- every time I log on there is something else new I have to have!

Put some bleach water in. Then use either water or air pressure to blow it out. Yes, you probably have some blockage or growth in there. Could be dirt, mold, spiders, critters. Just flush it out and toss bleachh water through. They make all sorts of chemicles to add- plain old bleach takes care...

That is very intriguing. Obviously in a time past the previous owner considered both building his house and has lodge to be very important to his life. I would agree they are probably blank medals- and most likely are undated on the back. You can find lots of examples on ebay. I am a proud...

Wow! Thats is gorgeous work. Always nice to see the old ways are not completely forgotten.

In all honesty- few members of this forum will buy the current brands of craftsman products. I am one of them. That said- asking sears to go back to full US production of even thier entry level equipment would be financial suicide to the company. They would loose the cost competition with big...
