On my Kubota 2380, the FEL arms would interfere with some of the locations that I mow, preventing me from getting as close and requiring more weedeater work.

Managed to wrap up one successful project.

My oldest hand wrenches were moved years ago to my tool bag that I carry in my pickup. I have an Indestro set consisting of 1/4-5/16, 3/8-7/16, 1/2-9/16, 19/32-11/16, and 5/8-3/4 wrenches. I was looking at these today and noticed that the Indestro name is only stamped on the 1/4-5/16 wrench...

The good news is I finally made it out to the shop for some quality time. The bad news is that not every project has a happy ending. Started my quality time with some recycling chores and then turned my attention to a bird feeder I thought I could freshen up and pass on to someone else. This...

Well, the Spitfire engine is really easy to work on. I have replaced a piston lying on my back on a gravel driveway many years ago. Also swapped engines with a friend and I substituting as a hoist. It sounds like you need to do a complete tear down and analysis of the condition and whether it is...

Sorry to hear about your engine issues. If you don't have oil in the filter, I would conclude that either the oil pump is not functioning or one of the in-the-block oil passages is clogged. Do you have an original Spitfire shop repair manual that shows the oil passages? It has been a long time...

I suspect there is a thread on here for home made tools, but I could not find it. I have been working on thinning out possessions and retrieved this from the barn to photograph and place an ad on CL. This is what I made to simplify the stretching of chain link fence I installed about 1400 feet...

I always thought the Meyers Manx buggies looked like immense fun. That one is beautiful. Years ago, one of the car magazines ran an article about what I think I remember as a MM 2 with a coupe body that had a Porsche engine installed. I drooled over that one for a long time.

Whew! I can breath again. Thank you for the clarification.

I don't usually post injury pics on here because I don't want to gross anyone out. But, my most recent "injury" is a bit of a puzzler. Have no idea when it happened or how it happened. Any ideas - other than my heart shrunk and migrated to the wrong part of my body? It looks like I am finally...

Got a metal detector? That low water level looks like a great opportunity.

Looking really good! Elsewhere you mentioned a fuel leak and having a fuel leaking vehicle sitting in your gorgeous garage has me cringing in fear. Did the leak seal itself or is it such a small leak there is no odor of fumes escaping since it was towed home?

Wow! Glad you are OK and were able to get the fire out before half of Oklahoma burned.

Glad to hear they got that infection licked for you. Hope you regain full use of the hand. Do you have PT scheduled? On another note, that reminds me of the roommate I had at the hospital years ago. He had an infection that spread into his testicle. They cut his testicle open and kept it open...

All that blue tape reminds me of Les Nesman!

I suspect that may be a little out of my price range!

I have pretty much quit thinking about recumbent bikes. I have gone on bike rides at least once a week for the past month with absolutely no problems. When I apply the brakes with the new pads, the bike just gradually slows down as it should - even if I only apply the front brake. My confidence...

Keep mine. Then along comes a time when I need a hex key socket instead of just the hex key - a bit of JB weld and a socket the same size as the hex key and some hacksaw and file work and I solve my problem without a trip to the hardware store.

Really sorry to hear about the mishap with the EL CO.

Many years ago, I made the decision that I would never have a maple tree closer to the house than the height of the tree plus a safety margin. The reason is that I have personally observed how many maple trees have fallen on houses. Although that is a beautiful tree now, I would hire a...
