Re: Paint techneques

Thanks @ras101 , spray painting is still one of those mysterious black magic procedures for me, so it's nice to read some good instructions on it. :cheers: "Black Magic procedures" is about how I feel about painting. I have done some real nice projects, but it takes me forever to get what...

Re: WE need a section dedicated to common questions

The other site has a commentator that directs people to "read before you ask". To me that just turns people off. It can be worded differently and possibly be more effective. Good idea for sure!

Re: Painting procedures

I think we all need refreshers no matter how long we have been "trying".

Re: Shout OUT!

Thanks for establishing this site. It met a need at a very turbulent time created on the other site and has provided some great information for several of us. And has created a special Comradery between the posters!

Re: Woke up again this morning

Don't kick yourself for having the phone turned off. Once she passed it was no longer an emergency. My father-in-law died in September. We were going to go back to the nursing home to be sure everything was set up for his 92nd birthday party the next day. About an hour before we had planned to be th...

Re: Something I didn’t know. !

Diesel oil doesn't work well in an engine that has been slushed up. Bought a 1961 Dodge with slant 6 engine. My dad was dumping Series 3 diesel in everything, new or used.

Yeh! Both of mine have been bound up for years. I usually try to clean them prior to winter and spray silicone grease on them. That seems help till I turn them on!

Re: 4118 major PM

I had the rear axle, front axle, and frame totally apart, plus all the rest. One of these days soon I need to get back at it. I think I have had the tractor for 5 years this month. I removed the hood, fenders, and wheels within a week of getting it home. And I am still not done! LOL!
