    Government thinking ahead...

    "Biden Sends Electric Chainsaws To People (in the mountains) Without Power" Cat electric chainsaws. I'm sure they will work for 1 hour before they can throw them away. Also, I'm sure being the weekend one time logger saw is great for cutting wood 15hrs a day(if they had power).

    Any chemistry majors out there?

    I am trying to fill my (small) wagon wheels with foam. 3 tires are fine. 1 is giving me trouble. I have used 3 cans of foam (where 1.5 fills the other wheels) but the tire is still soft. The only hardened foam is some that oozed out the holes. Some "goo" comes out as I spray more in the tire...

    Where to get wagon wheels?

    I have wagons with 10" innertube wheels. They keep loosing air after only 6 months. I tried different stores- harbor, northern toll, tractor supply, and flat tire sealer with little luck. I have checked and found nothing to puncture the innertube with no luck. As many wheels as I have solid...

    Stihl Hedge trimmer ignition

    I came accross a HS56 but it is missing the pull cord assembly. Before I buy the missing parts, I want to test if it runs so I am using a drill to crank to see if the ignition works.

    Does 'Project Farm' live by me???

    If you have seen some of his experiments you know what I am talking about. I just found a mower with a Briggs Quantum engine. It ran bad. Taking a wiff of the tank, I noticed the owner used paint thinner as gas. Dumped it and added gas and it runs fine.

    I have a quantum mower motor where 2 bolts that held it to the mower deck broke off in the engine sump. I never had to extract this so for anyone who did - is it a pain to remove(I assume heat it up wiht a torch and whack the bolt) so is it worth the trouble?? TIA.

    I'm looking for some labels- the ones on the front "4HP" and "TOUGH" decals to finish off my paint job. I don't see any of these on the internet so i am going to inquire with a local printer. If i find it much cheaper to order some quantity of them, is anyone out there interested in joining me?
