    Wheel horse brake adjust

    On my Dad's old C160 Wheel horse tractor (16HP Kohler), the brake won't hold anymore. We can't figure out how the brake works and don't know how to adjust it. It looks like it works internally in the hydrostat somehow. There's no external brake shoe anywhere. We are stumped. The dealers haven't...

    Oversize oil filters

    I think there may even be a better alternative to the FL-400. The FL-400 crosses to Purolator 20195. The 20195 an 25230 are the same size, but the 25230 has the by-pass valve on the threaded end (so if it opens, it can't blow crud from the dirty side of the filter into you motor). I'm currently...

    Yeah, T-Keith, you aren't kidding on the "just ask here", a few replies back. You guys are good, thanks. Sorry, I should have said it was the 3.0 OHV.

    Oversize oil filters

    Does anyone know a good place, online, to look for oversize filters and compare specifications and measurements to factory? By the way, 95 Mercury Sable wagon V6.

    Inverted Emulsions

    Wow, you chemistry guys, answer 1 question and give me 3 more to think about. I'll layoff asking though for thread context. Good stuff guys.

    Inverted Emulsions

    Maybe off topic, but how does an emulsion stay that way? In other words, what keeps a fire resistant hydraulic fluid from separating back into oil and water?

    Where were you on 9-11-01?

    I was in Huntsville, Alabama, a long way from home in Pennsylvania. I was helping a company field technician replace the compressor mounts on a school bus parked outside the maintenance building. My co-worker was under the bus working when he said something like- what was that, a plane crashed...

    really good inside car fragrance

    I just use an unopened bar of soap under the seat. Most have a good scent and last a while. Cheap too, depending. Then, when the scent dies down, use it in the house for washing.

    Pennzoil High Mileage - 10W-30

    The oil consumption on my (2) 91 Corsicas, 2.2L, 150,0000 and 190,000 went from (1)qt every 300-500 mi to about 1500-2000 mi using a 50/50 mix of 10-30 hi-mileage and 15-40 longlife. The only other thing I found to reduce consumption that much was a qt of Lucas oil stabilizer at oil change. Now...

    MOLY how much WEAR does it prevent?

    Molakule, Would you go over what lube products the four ball test is valid for? (FWIW, I thought I read/heard it wasn't valid for motor oils). Thanks.

    Dipstick vs. Owner's Manual

    About a year ago I found a large, rectangular pan (2 ft x 4 ft x 3/4 in. high) at Walmart auto dept. Nice, galvanized. Reasonable price. I like it a lot. They probably still sell them.

    Ampco upper cyl system

    Thanks Vetteman, I was thinking maybe this Ampco setup might be another way of getting a bulk fuel additive (like Fuel power) into the engine without pouring it off into little bottles first, just to get it in the gas tank (and maybe spilling some on the paint in the bargain). Still, the Ampco's...

    Ampco upper cyl system

    Saw this in Hemmings magazine about a year ago. The search on here was empty. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with this? It sounds all right, but it could be just an old snake oil gimmick. Web site www.ampcolubes.com
