    When I was younger, I could lift this entire rack of sockets out of the box and load it in the truck. Not anymore!
  7. On December eighteenth celebrate National Re-Gifting Day. Passing along the fun surprises we can't use — it's recycling with a sprinkle of unexpected joy. There are plenty of different holidays out in the world that we all know about, from Christmas to Saint Patrick’s Day. But there are some that we don’t know much about, or don’t know at all. National Re-Gifting Day is one of those lesser known holidays, unless we work in an office. So, for those of us who don’t know what it is about, let’s dive right into the history of this holiday and see how it came to be!

    Exhaust popping in cold weather

    Only case where I may use 10% ethanol fuel is in my generator, as she burns a lot of fuel. If we lose power for 2 days I'll go through at least 10 gallons, so usually I throw in normal fuel as I know it'll get burned through quickly. If any gas remains in the tank by the time the power comes back, I'll typically drain it and throw it in the vehicle. @Alrashid2 I do the same with the generator. I have construction type generator, noisy as all heck but it starts first a second pole every time. Any kind of storm that would knock you out from one to two days that’s a lot of ethanol, free gas. I usually turn valve off and run it out of fuel.

    Spindle seal ?

    Working on a mower deck for my 1970 Commando V8 that I got at the big show a couple years ago, it's a deck from a 1969 Commando V8 ( model 5 7361 ) it's basically the same deck as mine but in much better condition. Question I have is when disassembling the spindles each one had what looks like the remains of a fiber type seal Looking at the diagram for the mower deck I don't see where any are called out, did these and other mower deck spindles use a seal from factory?

    A new idea well at least for me anyway.

    Richard I have had this this at least 25 years or more slowly using it up. Probably can’t even find that kind of wire anymore.

    socket holders

    Nicely done. We have a set that lives in the toolbox. Most of those are on "rails." Some are still in the plastic hinged boxes they came in. The mobile set is a 3/8" drive impact set on a magnetic dish tray holder. That lives occasionally on the outer wall of the tool box but usually is just setting with whatever job is going on. Those are by far the most commonly used set.

    I was thinking it’s some sort of points adjustment wrench.

    Ready for snow?

    I was hoping I didn't have to put a plow on one of the 's this winter but no such luck. It's started to warm up on & off around here enough to turn the nice base I had built up with the snowblower into slop & the snow on the garage roof to start sliding off. It's supposed to be even warmer tomorrow & rain all day so I spent yesterday switching the ag tires out for a set of 9.5" turfs with chains on one of the C-81's. Dug out the brand new 48" plow I bought from a guy about five years ago, it came with his when he bought it from the dealer & never put it on. So today after work I got her out to see how she liked moving slop without wheel weights... She didn't, after two stabs at the roof pile she was back in the shop getting the the weights put on. (in my mind this was an experiment,not laziness). Round Two... Success! It's amazing what 8 hp, gears & traction will do...

    After you grind the back of the screws off work the screws back and ford as you remove them. Out a little, then back in, repeat, repeat.

    My tool box is pretty well organized, but my sockets? Well that is another story! 😂

    record keeping

    This is what I started years ago when I realized that there is no way I remember when I last serviced all these tractors. Tractors with oil filters I write the hours, date on the filter plus write it down, but most of them don’t have engine oil filters so I use this journal. Just now I brought it in the house to take a few pictures and saw this oil stain on many of the pages. I’m not sure how this happened and I’m a little bummed 🙁 I didn’t take pictures of all the pages, just a few so you get the idea.

    You cant tell me what to do!
  23. For years I've just had my sockets in drawers assorted by driver size. In many cases, I have three or more sockets of the same size and point making it difficult to find the size I need. I know a person can purchase holders but I wanted something that fit my drawers and needs. These socket sets seldom, if ever, leave the shop as I have other smaller sets I carry in the pickup. I used scraps of wood and the pictures show what I came up with. I can add more pins for additional sockets as needed. The spares I wired into "necklaces" and hung them on screws out of the way. I've got a couple of lifetimes of sockets. In a few weeks, I'll bring the 520H into the shop for it's annual going over and hopefully I won't have to dig among the sockets scattered in drawers.

    Spark plug wrench with feeler gauge. Probably from a military vehicle, possibly two-wheeled, German manufacturer would be my best guess.
