A friend asked if I could look at his 12 ga 1100; said it won't load from the magazine (he said you have to dump the shell into the chamber and then close the bolt) and most times won't eject......

Installing a battery cut-off on my friends 'rod. He also wanted to keep the stereo and under-lighting live while being able to turn off the rest of the circuits. With a cut-off switch installed, once the ground circuit is connected to the battery ground post, the entire elec system is...

Just picked it up yesterday from my LGS; no box/manual and an idiot-mark but otherwise like new.......

Working on a friends 'rod.....GM 350. He's had it three years and has about 2k miles on it. Original, unknown oil is in it as well as the filter doesn't look like its been changed since rebuild. I'm partial to Rotella T6 for most everthing I have except the Farmall (Rotella 30) and Ingersoll...

Just picked it up today.....like brand spanking new 1973 Winchester 94 .30-30 Win. Taking it out back as soon as I get it home!

After two full seasons, the AC compressor I got from a junk yard stopped working. Brought it home this weekend (75 mile trip) so I could check it out.....turns out it was just the AC clutch relay....a $13 repair. No leaks, cools great, uber cheap.....you've gotta love those junk yard compressors!

Some of you may have seen my thread from last week that my mom suffered a stroke and will not be going home. She had previously made her wishes known and divided up certain things....my sister getting the house and me getting her car....a 2010 Honda Accord, 25k miles. My sister asked if I would...

We await the passing of my 79 year old mom. Friday night my mom was out walking with my sister and her dog. The dog went behind mom and the leash caught her behind her knees causing them to buckle and she went down....not a hard fall and it appeared she just suffered a minor scrape on her knee...

Just got one (er, ah....for the grandkids I mean!). Fun little bike for what it is. Starts easily, brake is fair, spare parts seem readily available. I like it since I can reach the far corners of our property in mere minutes and my wife likes it so much she placed an order for another one. Any...

My dad is thinking of selling his K10 short bed. No ac, 305, auto trans, probably 125k miles and in very good shape (repainted about five years ago). He's thinking $3k without replacing the tires or $4k with new tires (the current tires were installed in 1995....good tread but dry-rotted badly)...

A friend asked if I could look it over and get it running so his daughter can EBay it. It had real old (judging by the shellac smell) fuel in it and the jets were gummed up....cleaned them and it fired up and ran well. It looks like a pretty nice saw but the internet says otherwise. What are...

Due to a freak storm this week, we had to rely on our generator for several days. We have a Scorpion YTX14 AGM battery in it that is six years old. It started the gen several times during refueling/oil checks and then, poof, complete failure and it's only measuring 0.41 vdc. I'm thinking the...

Well....no lions or tigers but we've certainly got more than our share of groundhogs this year. I prefer to just let them do their thing but this year they are determined to live under our house and garage....four yesterday and nine today lost their lives. It's a shame since they have over ten...

Hottest day of the year so far....walked in and inside temp around 85. Started checking the condensor unit and the unit was way overheated and thermal breaker clicking away. Disassembled and found a mouse had bit into one of the capacitor wires and electrocuted himself. Fried him hairless and I...

We live relatively close to a regional airport. Aircraft coming and going is to be expected and air traffic is generally light to medium heavy. Of course, my property is in line with the two runways. Last year it started and this year ramped up considerably.....flight schools. We have noticed...

What a shame. I thought he was pretty talented in Who Framed Roger Rabbit....it must be very difficult to maintain a different accent through hours and hours of film-making.

First cut of the season with our new-to-us last season GTX-18. I cut around three acres today and noticed a peculiar odor....was trying to identify it and then the engine just cut off....no dash lights, no crank...just dead. Walked back to the garage and got a volt meter and when checked, the...

to me, it is the sound of a generator humming away in the middle of the night. As a lot of York Pa and surrounding counties experienced yesterday, the ice storm caused a lot of us to lose power. Met-Ed says it may be several days before power is restored to a lot of customers. We live in a very...

I thought some of you might be interested in seeing one of these....mobile lounges are used at airports to load/off-load aircraft passengers if there are no gates avaiable or if the aircraft is too high for normal loading bridges. We own two 1972 models, each with a 6V53 DD as prime power and a...

The line sprung a leak where it follows the frame rail. Further up the line towards the front, the line looks good and no rust. Can I use a union/coupler to splice a new section of line rather than replacing the entire line? Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
