It really doesn't pay to put off getting a new battery, if it is older, just get a new one and be done with it. Not worth the extra hassle trying to just get by.

You only need 1 time having one blow up in your face to make a believer out of you. I was trying to jump a friends car , 1 spark and kaboom. 2 guys picked me up and ran me into the kitchen to rinse under water, lucky I didn't get blinded and only lost a set of clothes. I was 17 at the time...

I will definitely start looking harder.

Thank you

Are they still available? I have looked but not found anywhere.

Glad you got results, sometimes you will and sometimes you don't. I can see the amount of hassle with all of it, hope it turns out good.

I remember the Penncraft line and Penny's t-shirts were the best. Back then all the big stores had their own tools, they stood by their guaranties. Places like Western Auto even had Hot patches for tubes and tires that you would light on fire and make it a permanent patch. The old days

What happened to caring about the customer and making sure he is happy? No one seems to give a rat's arse. I always had it pounded in me to do the best job and keep the guy who pays your salary in good mood. Did we not instill that in our next generation? I remember squeaky wheel gets the...

We find the same story for so many companies, employees want more pay And benefits, employer has to get that money from somewhere. Share holders want more profit per share, preferred stock has to get more, money has to come from somewhere. Business has to sell off to make ends meet, or a...

I have seen companies throw brand new products in the dumpster to avoid paying taxes on physical stock on the shelves. Companies can write of everything but labor. Hard to believe people think higher minimum wage will help without thinking whee the employer will get the extra money to pay it...

Everything is the same as the model 5B the recoil part is different . A good match, thanks. Don't know what to do with it, but at least I have more info on it.

I ended up with this old sprayer from a guy who sold produce out of his place for years, but had passed away. It has John Deere name on it , a 18 gal tank and the pump is belt driven by a Briggs 3hp motor, I believe the pump is shot. Also has a recoil hose assembly mounted on the front...

Everyone should come back with a follow up so we can store that away for the next diagnostic event. That way we know if what you were told worked or why it happened. Would be nice anyway.

I tolerated all that crap until the gender thing, now it is out of hand . Have to draw the line somewhere. That stuff wouldn't fly when I was a kid. Kinda got off track, how about those sockets. Nothing is like it used to be.

I can see where you would think too much trouble for what might save. My first was a floorjack and it still works, someone stole the transmission jack adapter so i can't say. Some stuff went sky high when Covid hit like the Nitril gloves, makes them look bad claiming transportation and delivery...
