Check the OTC catalog. They carry most of that type of thing them or lisle

Nice to see you're keeping the original brakes. It makes for a good learning opportunity for those kids. No vehicle ive ever seen has brakes like a landcruiser and they consequently require you to actually learn something, not just weld on some cheap chevy parts... Glad to see it all taking shape.

Call the dealer? Im not familiar with that system.

Throw in a condenser for good measure. This is never a bad idea. When my dad ran a tractor with points ignition he'd change the points and condenser every few months (he ran it 10 hours a day) It will start and run much better with fresh points and a condenser.

Heat the yoke freeze the joint and install the caps with finger pressure instead of a press or hammer... Then you can go enjoy your day with energy to spare because you work smarter, not harder.

The Wrench is leaving his secure compound in the remote hills of northern California to come have a look at the issue and to help rebuild the shaft. I like to help Albert because he's a chill guy and he's done a great job in my opinion restoring his landcruiser into a practical and functional...

I didn't think id get a garden in this year due to having bought the place in feb. I did end up planting a few things and ive been eating out of it regularly. Im 45 minutes from the grocery store if you speed (I speed) and with the price of fuel being what it is I choose to stay home and garden...

I finished the amp, didn't touch the tuna. When I moved in tried to get ahold of ya and got no response so I stopped until I heard from ya. Also, I was moving. Id like to get the amplifier to you, then proceed with fixing up the tuner. The amplifier is the real gem here, the tuner can be made...

The Amplifier was finished months ago. I sent you a message and never heard back. In that time ive bought a house and moved. So its ready for ya as soon as I find the box its in. I have a friend who is the husband of a deceased audiophile friend who makes regularly scheduled trips to your neck...

I love it. Anyone can b Make an 8' ×8' shed thats technically perfect and doesn't waste any material but this is not going to be anything like that. It shows creativity and heart. Square sheds are for squares man...

Probably so according to this crowd but ive seen multiple old tractors set up that way long before I was born that are still working great. My theory is that the solder creeps up the wire and tins it which in the long run helps prevent corrosion from creeping in under your insulation. Im a belt...

Mmm

He and I have been in conversation via text message throughout the weekend and most of the day today. I think he found the root of his overheating problem but ill let him fill you in on the details...
