Got an old Emglo wheelbarrow Compressor with GX 200 Honda that I use the **** out of. It recently started leaking air back through the Compressor when the engine is stopped, and the idle control hunts between hi and low idle when it hits max pressure. It pumps up fast and doesn't burn oil, so...

Seems like whenever I need to use the gas axe, it's always miserable hot and still. I wear glasses and no matter what, goggles always fog up, or I get an eye full of sweat...usually when cutting a bearing race off a shaft, or something requiring precision. Looking for reccomendations for a good...

Went to a neighbors farm sale this morning. He kept most of his tools but got a few bargains. 10 tubes Lucas Red N Tacky grease for $5, 2.5 gallon unopened jug of Rotella 15-40 for $10, 2 new tires for my baler for $5 each. Watched a nice old Craftsman 3/8 deep socket set go for $5. Of course...

Several years ago, my 3 year old son ran off with a special $28 jam nut while I was working on my swather. Had to have one, had to order it and lost 2 days good haying weather. Few days later, wife tells me washing machine is making a clunking sound. Found the damn thing in his pants pocket!

Seen several different kinds of these at local implement dealers recently. Anybody use one? How well do they work? Seen a couple different styles...the Lock N Lube, with a small lever, and another style with a sliding sleeve.

Back in mid 90's I worked for an farm equipment dealer that sold Bobcat. Salesman traded for a dead 371 that had been setting outside for years. I got orders to "just get it running" and nothing else. Got the Kohler brought back to life....and at this point, I need to explain that I'm 6'7" and...

Cute little machine. Almost got killed on a 371 about 20 years ago.

One of the best general purpose puller sets ever.

How's it sound? Used to tractor pull with a guy who'd turbo'ed an 830 Deere. Damn turbo only whistled on the power strokes. Funny as hell to hear, but never ran well.

I did new valves, rings, bearings, and .020 over pistons for around $300-350. Considering I only gave $100 for the whole thing, I had room to spend a bit. Sad part was that it had just been overhauled before I got it. Previous owner let it sit outside and water got in and ate up valves and...

Also, there seems to be some attempt to bring the brand back, but the made in China **** bearing this once-proud name is nothing but an insult to the original.

Bought 3 pair of Diamond water pump pliers, a Diamond fence pliers, a Dimalloy 8" & 10" adjustable wrench, and a pair of Klein lineman pliers on an estate sale last night. $12 for all. LOVE Diamond stuff!

I've got a Lincwelder 225. Mine has an adapter that bolts on the rotor. Standard crank, I believe. I overhauled my Onan several years back. It was pricey, but not that bad. What's wrong with yours?

Love Diablo thick metal blades for my Recip saws!

Used to work with this clown that had every good set Mac made, but didn't have **** for real, working tools. Most of those had been sold off to buy booze.

Several years ago I was sitting at a stoplight, while a local plumbing company truck made a turn around the corner. Utility box door flies open, big drawer FULL of pipe fittings slides out and detaches itself. Flies out in the intersection showering pipe fittings everywhere! Laughed my *** off...

I'd have to agree. That Kubota is 21.5:1 compression ratio. They like to crack heads in stock form. That said, I love what you're doing.

Thanks for all the ideas guys! Please keep them coming.

This is giving me lots of inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
