    File from the farrier

    I have serious hobby problems too, my garage is so full of projects, hobbies it will be easier to build another one instead of cleaning/making room in the current one.

    File from the farrier

    Just made these, I enjoy making knives and other things from railroad spikes to give as gifts, these are steak hooks, for turning your steak on the grill, left and right hand ones. My work is still a bit crude.

    How long did your battery last?

    My tractor is approaching 4 years old, I store it in a barn with no electricity so no trickle charger. This winter it turned over weaker than normal. I charged the battery and this spring it seems ok, for now. It’s possibly on borrowed time.

    Diesel cars in Europe

    We have a 1999 Mercedes E300, 6cylinder inline turbo diesel, 283k miles and still going. Engine and transmission have never had a serious issue. I bought it with 116k miles on it, best car I’ve ever owned as far as reliability. It is harder to get parts for it, I have to order them, even oil...

    Electric grease gun

    Went Dewalt due to ties to that platform, loKNlube was a great addition to it. Works great.

    Spreading 23 ton crushed stone

    Looks great, do you own the roller? I’m backfilling/leveling an area on my property, a roller like that would be handy.

    Fire extinguisher.

    Check the nozzles periodically, around here the mud daubers love to use them/plug them up.

    Polaris work

    I had similar results on headers I wrapped years ago, the wrap caused the headers to rust out.

    M4 071D won't restart when hot

    Probably things already being checked by you and the dealer, I’d start with battery, cables, grounds. I’d check if voltage is going to starter while attempting to start, faulty ignition switch is a possibility. Starter cold also be your problem.

    M4 071D won't restart when hot

    It may help if you give a bit more info on exactly what it’s doing.” It will not start back up” can be interpreted in different ways. when it fails to start will it do anything, will the starter turn the engine over, etc.
