Hello from the northwoods.

[OldSchoolRepair]

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I am an old school mechanic, diagnose to a specfic failure and repair if possible.
I work on mostly trucks and equipment with some old tractors thrown in for fun.
I have been at it for about 30 years and consider myself pretty well tooled up.
Anything else you woukd like to know please ask.

Thanks!
--Ron

Well.... just a few of the fun things I've seen here so far....

• If you like really well done powdercoat, take a look at https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/custom-powder-coating-leannas-powder-****.502335/ - cudachick does some amazing stuff.
• Want to see an amazing lathe restoration? https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/rebuilding-a-monarch-10ee-lathe.482053/
• How about a really beautiful job of building vices and other manual shop machinery: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/lambco-machinery-10-vice-and-11.526156/
• How about a D7 rescue: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum...r-rescue-have-i-lost-my-freaking-mind.526172/

The thing to remember is that every hour one spends looking at others people's project is an hour you're not working on your own projects

Again, welcome aboard!

Never heard of it, not coming up on a search either.

It's not Northern Maine?
