Yup, mine just hangs over the radiator as well

Add GPS and the brains/sensors of a Roomba and you don't even need to control it. Soon, Maximum Overdrive... cue the AC/DC!

You have a beautiful spot! I imagine it will be very difficult to leave.

An oil sample will tell quite a bit if you have access to such a facility locally. It can determine if it is fuel dilution with a simple closed cup flash test and the additive packages of hydraulic oil is usually quite a bit different than engine oil. Up here it runs $17.00 to do a sample. Most...

Wow, $30 US and Canadian Amazon it's $140

Perhaps they meant 36 cm cutting capacity... the math works

Another vote for the 170. I have three saws, the 170 is the smallest, lightest, easiest to handle (also the go to for 90% of my cutting needs). Love that little saw.

So what do you do if your front pasture has large tire ruts in it? We bought our property with them and would like to patch up those areas. Is running a disk or tiller the best option? How long before the prairie grasses come back?

Wow, what a thread. Beautiful work, that is a really well done restoration. I have a Ford 2N restro you can come give me a hand with next if you're free, haha.

I think he's referring to the API certification label

I service in spring as my equipment sits unused quite a bit in the winter and it goes from +5 down to -45 over the course of the season. The cyclic temperature changes can cause moisture build up in compartments due to condensation so I prefer to start the working season with fresh oil and new...

Good oil and a good choice

Generally if you are going to start at cold temperatures and extended oil changes then synthetic is a good choice, if not a good quality 15W-40 and change a little more often.

I have found Lucas grease to be extra sticky, hard to wash off even with a pressure washer (exactly what you want your grease to do). It is a very good grease.

A good synthetic oil based grease in lithium soap works very well. Some cheaper greases allow the oil to come out of suspension plus it won't flow at lower temperatures, it will extrude, crack off and fall out of the joint.
