To my mind, it's amazing that those wobble joints can stay together at all due to the amazingly fast rate they run!

All the talk about drive on grease zerks caused me to order 10 in 3/16" and ten in 1/4". $1 each! Didn't fine an assortment box, but even if I did, it would be cost prohibitive!!

Hate those too! Expensive to buy an assortment box of them too.

Yes Doug, those 1st couple pics is magna-matic like in my model 14. I removed the coil and portion of metal that passed through it. There was room behind flywheel for a frame mounted type 6v motorcycle coil to sit atop the legs so I drilled and tapped the legs to mount the coil. The coil had...

Finally bought a tire bead blaster, or as I'd aptly call a tire "cannon", as it goes off like a shotgun! Even has some recoil! Been thinking of getting one for years and should have years ago, but having trouble getting a new tire to seat a few weeks ago, I finally ordered one. I got a 2.3...

The Tombstone we had many years ago was 110V only, plus DC output only.

Gonna be too nice to actually get dirty!

Had a coil in a model 14 briggs go bad, so I removed it's coil leaving the induction legs in place. Drilled holes in top of legs where oe coil sat, then bolted a motorcycle coil in it's place. Worked like a charm! I still have that engine, but not fired it in 30+ years.

It's an aluminum block.

I still have an old briggs 5hp with water pump from waaay back. Points ignition that lost spark. Always heard to use the new pointless coils required flywheel magnetism change. But I took a pointless coil off a 3 1/2hp push mower, ground the legs to closely match the curvature of the 5hp...

Have a blast buddy!

I think ALL forms of welding.

Oh yes, I sure do enjoy it. Always worry in the back of my mind that one day I'll need a pace maker and won't be able to weld.

Most of my welding these days may not be over 5 minutes. Back when we dairy farmed we had many days of a year with welding 4-6 hours or more fabbing or modifying equipment.

Hurts just to walk again today. Guess I'd best call for Dr appointment tomorrow.

Hate to have to, but have to call off a spring plow day due to health issues. My diabetes Dr put me on a 3rd med and it's been draining my energy, plus sciatica pain in my back and leg. I am hoping the soybeans are harvested early like this past fall so we can still plow this year. That...

Liking the orange!

As to the heater, what do you mean by "indirect fire"? And I too find more issues with FedEx deliveries.

I've not bought any tools from them, but have bought some little remote control toys for grandson Hunter's. Not overly impressed with their low reliability.

I had gas capable wire welders for years but no gas. A few years ago I finally bought s bottle, and I'll never go back to flux core. Welds are lots nicer and maybe stronger. I say maybe as I've never had a failed weld. May break close to weld, but never the weld itself. With gas there's...
