Ok, so mostly because it was easy, I picked up a Troy-bilt 4 cycle trimmer today. I like it ergonomically and everything, but I'm not too impressed with how it runs. You put the choke on 3 for 5 pul
I'm in the same boat. Well, except that I'm the electrician... :-) you're going to have to have two heaters. But if the space you're talking about is insulated, etc. etc. I'd imagine you'd only need
That all jives to me... Prices are very frequently different in the retail stores to online. Sometimes better, but more often worse. But they've always honored the online prices when I've asked. It
I solve this type of problem by finding a place to put the pan where I don't care that there might be a drip. Mark _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://autox
Have kids. Neither of you will have time to do anything any more.* Personally, I'm not as much of a believer in the whole "If you really love me, you'll ignore that I'm screwed up in your eyes" thin
So here's my suggestion (I've only been married for three years. But I'm 37, so I'm working at a disadvantage to some of the other folks responding... :-)... Anyway, instead of making her something
Anyone out there know much about wheel balancers? This is one of the cheapest ones I've found: http://www.americasprideonline.com/wheel-balancer-1016071-3-1.ViewProduct It looks basically like all t
So accuracy shouldn't be affected? I'm not needing to bang out a ton of mountings per day, so if the differences (past capacity) are all in the "easier/faster to use" area like rotating the wheels f
For the truck & the motorcycles, I'd store them in the air, off the tires. Stabil is supposedly good for a year, and the nice thing is that stuff is ready to go if you come back in a few months. I'd
On the F250, its to imply that you're cool. But on the dually F350, they're required by law if I remember correctly. Not sure why. Mark _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mail
You might want the grinder on the lathe too... Sockets are pretty damn hard. My old company manufactured stuff, and had a manual machining room. I used to use it on the off hours to make parts for t
My old shop had the old style ballasts on the lights. They'd flicker for a while when it was cold out (this was in PA winter) and sometimes would take a decent while to turn on at all. Never had any
To the OP on this topic... If the current trans isn't working, why not take it out and take it apart? If it looks like something you can rebuild, then buy the parts and do it. If it doesn't look lik
I don't belive I've ever seen a 20mm socket at all, let alone needed one... I'd keep what you've got and wait until you need another socket for a job. My guess is that you'll be waiting quite a whil
Sounds like a plan. But be sure and post if you run across something that needs a 20mm socket. Mark _______________________________________________ Shop-talk mailing list http://autox.team.net/mailm
Sounds like some version of ice mode... I ran into this a lot with a 2001 z06 in autocross... Brake for a corner one time, they work fine. Next time, the pedal pushes back and braking power is drama
I find ABS to be the most helpful when I'm entering a corner trailbraking, and I want the outside front wheel to be braking at max capacity rather than the inside front wheel. You can't do that with
Spending time when you're not at max acceleration, max braking, or max cornering is rarely the fastest way around the track... With swaybars and all, you don't need to be wanting to brake much befor
There's a MAF cleaner spray, or lots of folks use brake clean. If its really dirty though, this won't work. What you want to do then is take the sensor assembly apart enough that you can get to the
A corded drill is always a good thing to have. Really nice for those situations where your cordless drill batteries are all dead or you're doing some really heavy duty drilling. Of course, a cordles
