Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Well I have the blower on , just need to put the belt on . The birds heated waterers are plugged in and covers are on the runs . I farted into the empty propane tank so I would have a backup supply of gas if needed . Other than that , nope NOT ready .

Working bugs of something that has sat for a time can be frustrating . Those twins use a waist spark system . Both plug need to be grounded for spark .

Our Municipality where I am has interactive Sat. maps available to all online that show property lines , terrain lines ect on the Satellite images . I found them to be accurate to with inches of ...

That will be very handy , I know mine is . A large vacuum for dust extraction is a must . I use a homemade separator before the vac and a reusable filter in the vac. Wheels are handy as well , I put Heavy Duty Bench Caster Wheels Side Mounted Retractable Workbench Wheels on mine .
