latest date is OCT 1 1901. If those dates are righteous. I think there is good chance that it belonged to Wallace Crispin. He was my father's mother's youngest brother who died of Spanish flu in 1918. It doesn't have the cocking lever like a Red Ryder. It breaks like a single barrel shot gun...

My blessed wife of 50 yrs died last April. In her younger days, she was an avid yard sale devotee. I have 8 china cabinets packed with bee-yoot-iful plates and cups. If I can't put them in the dishwasher or microwave, they're useless. Anybody know how to get rid of the stuff. Hopefully sell...

Who would have thought ..

After 6 yrs paying off the 2 Camrys. I now own them outright. The snag is that they're in my deceased wife's name and the insurance lapsed. I have filled out 3 different DMV forms and signed up for 6 month Progressive policies today. Pray for me. I head to the local RMV tomorrow AM in my...

Got the ramps out, and drained the oil. Put the socket on my 1/2 HF with the built in cheater and tried to loosen the OF basket. It is an awkward fit and a hard position to work from. I pulled and the socket broke, tearing the cast gazinta off the stamped socket. The basket socket is from Auto...

It is my understanding that roller bearings come in standard sizes. Inside and outside diameters. Shafts are designed to use a standard size bearing. Right? For example, if a bearing is listed by a dealer as NLA, I can find the bearing by its dimensions regardless of manufacturer? Or maybe in a...

I travelled 130 miles to acquire this 'jewel' listed on Craigs List Free Stuff. It has the orange tank and wheels on an aluminum deck with a capstan drive. The shroud is black with chrome grills. I have a couple F series LBs. This is my first Duraforce. Supposedly, it ran last yr. Quick scan...

it isn't a key fob type remote, It is a smart key with some sort of electronics without which the car won't start. The wireless remote built into the key must have a battery, I opened the case carefully, but chickened out when I didn't see a coin battery. Is this a dlr only thing? I do know a...

It is a 1988 21" F series engine, model 7073. I snagged it off Craigslist free stuff back in '07. A steel deck, nothing fancy. Great trimmer. I used it until the starter spring broke. then parked it' Back in '17, I cleaned up the coil, the carb and governor. I use an old 1/2" drill with a 11'16...

Am I just lucky. Or is it rare? Ive had pinched a bar or 2 and stretched a chain so far I had to remove a link to get it to tighten up, But I've never had one break on me. Mostly the built up sawdust derails the chain. So when I read in the Bar Oil thread about chain breakage, I got to thinking..

Son noticed Marina's '16 Camry sounded "funny'' first AM start. The battery is original,6yrs old. This morning, the voltage was 12 .2V. The start knocked it down to 10.9 V. Being as it is the wife's car, I'm inclined to be proactive. Would you replace this battery ?

Another saga. While I had the stuff together, I decided to rotate the tires on my Camry. I started on the right rear,breaking lugs before raising the car. I couldn't budge the lugs with my Craftsman 1/2 breaker bar and 50yr 13/16 12 point socket. No big deal, there was a brand new lug wrench in...

Get yourself a beverage and something to munch on. 5.5yrs and 60k after buying the barely used SE Camry, I had to fix the results of deferred maintenance. A sticky caliper slide caused the outer pad to wear prematurely and I couldn't hear the the warning. Plus both cars needed the tires rotated...

I have a blocked artery feeding the bottom L of my heart. Inserting a stent failed back in 2019. However, there are smaller vessels till feeding the area. My condition is "optimized" with a daily dose of 4 pills. I tuned up with a cardiac re-hab program. I can walk a 25minute mile/3' slope on a...

Should I tie it to my house ground or a separate ground or just fuhgeddaboutit? Does the job fine without it but..

Caption says pic was taken in 1932. The headlight and fender suggest to me a 37ish La Salle. So does the stylized S on the hub cap.

Old Face full. Re-powered 1/15 with a 212CC Predator engine. Topped off pumpkin when I dug it out of the shed 2wks ago. Friday I aired up the tires, but didn;t start it. Started it Sat PM to clear a path to move gen-set into place. To be ready for the expected power outage. Which never happened...

BIL is trying to keep me from buying another heap. My 2016 Camry has less than 60K miles. Most of its mileage has been a 50mile round trips to my daughter's and medical appointments. I miss having an old truck, but not enough to crawl under it to keep it going. What if I traded in the Camry and...

My 45 yr old Stihl 041 Farmboss is getting old and lazy. It basically works for 5-10 minutes and takes a rest. I tried my brother's cordless saw and it is pretty neat. Can I find a 16" bar e-saw that will run 45 minutes- hr on 2 batteries for ~ $ 200 - ? Also what the heck did I miss on Drews...
