I love gremlins, but agree they are ugly cars. I file them in the so ugly it's cool category. A buddy of mine has one that just sits in storage I've been trying to buy off him for years now. Bright orange with fat tires and even has hideous orange plaid seats. 304 that he blew up last year with...

Might as well get used to the idea of owning a "beemer". BMW has gotten their fingers into several automotive brands and many just don't realize it. Prime example, the new Toyota Supra is actually a BMW. Now that MOPAR is owned by the French, the hemi hit the chopping block and is being replaced...

Honestly I'm not sure you'll need the hp. I don't running my tiller and doing dirt work. You can always slightly reduce speeds on steep hills but it has never been an issue. There's also several members on here that use a lx2610 with a blower. I would consider lift capacity though. I did as...

Well normal hybrids are much more complicated than gen sets. For instance with my truck you would run a pair of e-axles where the motor would be one complete unit. Which would entirely eliminate the driveline. Using a small diesel like out of a sub 25hp tractor would also eliminate the ignition...

Good to know. I had no idea. My area is nuclear. One of the few left, it was scheduled to be decommissioned but the state refuses to foot the bill for its replacement and there isn't really a solid reliable option for an alternative in the area. On a side note, the way of the near future, I...

The main problem with EV is the same problem as the last "fuel wars" when the automobile was first taking off. They are less convenient and we don't have the infrastructure. Back then we didn't have the infrastructure for gas either but it is much easier to transport a liquid than electricity...

I can chime in on this. I had a 12ft trailer with that type of flooring. By the time I got it, it was nearly 30 years old. Owned by a neighbor, then my dad, then me so I know the entire history of it. I only sold it because it was too small and I regret it every day. Best trailer I ever had and...

Are all of your products made in house? No outsourcing from other shops or rebranded products? I'm looking at your pallet forks, and the price seems a little too godlod to be true.

On driving lights, doesn't matter. If someone is distracted while driving, just because you add a few lights I don't think it would make any significant difference. For example, in my younger days I was more of an adrenaline junkie than a cruiser when it came to motorcycles and rode one of those...

^This Ford renamed the 9n to the 2n for tax evasion during ww2. They also changed paint color to solid gray and went to steel wheels to conserve rubber for the war effort. They also went to hand crank start for the same reason. Least thats what I've read. Other than that the only real...

Its also possible for a crack in the cylinder head thats opening up at temperature allowing charged air to bleed into the cooling system. Just spitballing here.

Yeah side railings are pointless imho. I've had a few trailers with them and at the end of the day any benefit they could offer can be achieved with stake pockets, a couple 2x4s and 2x6s. My latest trailer acquisition being a home build has them for tie off points. I plan on cutting them off and...

The direction it falls is dependent on how its cut. If you were to cut it straight I'd say it would likely fall south perhaps slightly west judging by what looks to be the majority of mass. Assuming that it doesn't pivot on itself. The key is to control the drop. You can remove limbs to bias...

I'll be the devils advocate here. So long as length isn't an issue I think you'd do just fine with that trailer. By length I mean how it results in weight distribution. Having the backhoe might make a short trailer off balance. However I would as others have said upgrade axles for better brakes...

Oil heaters don't really help with engine starting. They save wear and tear once its running as the oil will be thinner and help warm critical wear points. However, because it is just sitting in the pan and not circulating unless the engine is running it doesn't do much. Coolant heaters on the...

Second vote for g5s. They are tanks. I have a set on my zero turn. Work well and very durable. I mow over small branches, rocks, and other things better suited to a brush hog alot, just grind out the dents and sharpen once a year. Be warned they are VERY heavy blades and will have a tendency to...

Never have, never will. I started off in the automotive industry working for a gm dealer. Couldn't stomach the way they operated so I bailed out. Since then I perform my own repairs on everything. Even my own home. I've watched as people get screwed over even by reputable shops. Seen friends...

I don't see why you couldn't swap an electric motor. So long as it is the same rpm. Might even be able to use less hp since it would have so much more tq under load.

Not sure about wheels for sure, but pomps probably sells both.

I have a set of the sylvania leds in my old dakota. Due to the design of the square housings having no top or bottom reflectors they work great with a sharp cut off line that keeps other drivers from going blind. They are brighter, but unlike some if the no name brands they were clockable and...
