Something common but can be a big problem is chlorine tablets for swimming pools. When I was working in the power plant we used HTH chlorine tablets in all of our cooling towers added every Tuesday. We also added about a gallon of slimeacide every Thursday also. One of my co-workers forgot...

Active auction? You're gonna' going to get hollered on.

I went there to the house on the property many times while my boys were going to Rolla. I never did make contact with him, so I suspect he's living somewhere else. I left my contact information taped to his door several times, but the only contact I got was a hand drawn flier in the mail for...

One thing is for sure they can't count on a big public outcry from their previous customers on their side. One cost of poor customer service.

See the peeve thread, There is no such thing as a LEAD pencil, they're graphite. I'm so bad, but I've seen a lot of u-bolts rusted that bad.

On my M51a2 I shortened the shaft as much as I could without cutting under the hood, and raised the column as much as I could in the dash drilling new holes. This gave me just enough room to put my feet on the pedals. When the cushion on the back of my seat disintegrated I didn't replace it...

I've straightened several bent frames and my favorite tool is two trees. I've used two chainblocks pulling from opposite directions to do amazing things even correcting out of square bends with a 10 ton porta-power from Harbor Freight. But then I have a lot of big oak trees in my neck of the...

Well for my 2cents I'm considering putting a couple of 3/4 ton Chevy axles under my M-37 for cost reasons. I have axles from a 3/4 ton 89 Suburban with 4.56 gears would be cheaper than regearing the M-37 axles, give me upgraded brakes and I can use a set of Hummer wheels I have. The only...

I was trying to get a hold of him about 10 or 12 years ago, left messages in his mailbox. The only sign of life I ever got was a hand drawn flyer for the Goer he had parked in front of the house, that came by mail but no phone #. He's been mentioned on the list from time to time but no idea if...

My wife tried this way back over my '68 Camaro. I reminded her that I had it three years before I met her so it had seniority. Almost 41 years later she's still hanging around. If you have a needle scaler and remove the pin part it has the flat hammer you seek. I've used my Ingersol-Rand for...

I dropped my paypal account for just that reason, I'm NOT going to link my bank account to paypal because I've seen too many problems. They told me I had reached the maximum $2ooo limit for using a credit card and I had to link it or close the account. Go figure!

We have copperheads in my neck of the woods mostly and they are nasty. They will lay there until you walk right on them then bite you. The guy that was building my brothers house last year went to get into his skid steer and one was curled up inside it. He came out way faster than he went in...

I have a Fluke 77 but when I got my son a meter I got a Fieldpiece, don't know the model off hand. For what it's worth Fieldpiece company was started a group of engineers that worked for Fluke and went out on their own.

Just to subscribe and say I would be interested in one of those tanks if in reasonable pick-p distance to St. Louis, MO. I'm currently using a tank mounted in the bed just as a get by. Been that way for way more years than I care to admit.:shrugs:

I let my wife take my Camaro to get inspected a few years back and the guy at the inspection station had her afraid to drive it back home because it had "bad' brakes. He tried to high pressure her into letting him do a brake job, too bad for him she called me. After I threatened to crawl up...

Can anyone tell what happened to the truck just before the first explosion? Looked to me like the truck frame broke in two but I really can't tell. I got to watch the tank filling operation that blew up and burned here in St. Louis a few years ago. I don't think they ever figured out how it...

To keep you cooling system clean in the future it's a good idea to add a coolant filter to your truck. I was so impressed on my M51a2 that I've been adding them to all my vehicles and tractors. The filters can be had with supplement additives for diesel engines or without for gas engines. I...

A little graveyard humor: On the up side that cage can now be used for much wider tires after it's field adjustment.:rolleyes: I've never changed a split-ring tire, I'm too big a chicken.

I use the Mobile 1 red synthetic in everything anymore. Haven't had any problems and it available form most automotive sources. Since the major point of greasing parts is to push out the old contaminated grease and replace it with clean I figure soon enough it will all be Mobile 1. As far as...

Cool. I'm olive drab with envy!
