My 1982 Case MB4-94 uses old style metal cartridge filters. They were common in the 50s-60s. I've had a few older pieces of equipment use that style too. Have done tractors that is was just like a big cloth "wick". Pretty much the cartridge but with the metal cartridge contain it. Sometimes...

Parts stores don't take used oil here, that must be a local thing. As far as cores, they get sent back. I've seen core charges of $40-50k on equipment components like trans assemblies, finals, engines, etc. Parts stores pay fairly low wages, I don't understand why some folks expect tip of the...

Schucks used to do that, but stopped a while back. They only allowed 5 at a time too and it go on a gift card. I cleaned up the shop side yard one week and wrangled up like 50 batteries, some had been there easily 20 years.

Buy on an account, the discount on batteries is usually quite good. I've seen 30-40% off shelf price. Granted I buy quite a few batteries a year.

Been getting near freezing, stuff is melting. Been in the 50s to low 60s at home. Almost too hot in the sun. Feels like 80*

The inside ices up as well. And gets worse if people get in the truck before it's warmed up. At around -30* and colder I just let the truck stay running. Too many issue with steering lines and pumps otherwise and that's way more expensive than ~$50 of gas a day. The older trucks all had high...

Like $70, just 1 time charge for z tag. If it's older than maybe 10 years. Have 1 that was free with disabled vet plates. The other 5 or 6 are "z" tag. (Lifetime)

Plasma table is pretty cheap these days.. 2-3k for a smaller one. Laser is the new craze.

I'm not going to post p Hotos here as not to get banned, but just google Ainsley Norris. Made me feel gross when I realized she's supposed to be 17. Anyhow, I'm entitled to my opinion that the show isn't good. I bought Paramont and watched it because of oil drilling and some guys at work (i...

Correct. She's 17 in the show, so a kid. Granted 25 is a kid to me too though, I have clothes older than that 🤣 I had looked it up up the 1st episode they hookered her out.. cause... "uhhhhh, what did I just see, isn't she in school?!!?" I felt gross!

There's not much new cars have that I feel as a "need" 1990s was about peak for having fuel injection but not so many whiz bangs it's stupid. I ran a 2025 Chev 2500 a couple weeks at work and the dings, bings, chimes, holy cow! It would even chime to check the back seats for children. Huh? I...

I've owned several trucks that 55-60 mph was it. I had to put a 4k governor spring in a 95 Dodge 3500 to have anything after 65mph.

It's kind of gross/l, borders on pedophile being she's supposed to be high school age. No one i went to high school with acted like strippers at that age. Their parents would have sent them away!

I don't get what people see in it. I expected real life oil field work, not make believe drama and annoying hootchie mamas.

Starter fluid?

I got paramount just for cause everyone talked it up. I made it 5 shows and got a refund.

How could the ground be damaged by small rocks? The dumptruck will leave ruts if that's what your asking. 15 tons is 1 load.

Has nothing to do with "knowing how to drive". 4 driven wheels is better than 2, there's no argument to that fact. We have snow October to May and mud and ruts or moon dust May to October. There's a few weeks a year the roads are fairly decent. Most trucks stay in 4wd most of the year. It's...

Huh?

If it had at least an 8ft flatbed and 4wd, and a reasonable load rating, like 2-3k lbs and ~10k towing, that would handle most 1/2 ton truck duties. I ran a 2wd 1 ton dump truck for years. I put a Detroit locker in it and got very good at throwing on tire chains.
