It's amazing how much unnecessary gatekeeping goes on among employers, but they all moan that they can't find anybody. Now that I think about it, I'm surprised I was able to get my part time sporting goods job so easily.

Planted my first row of Yukon Golds last night, gonna do another row tonight. Grew several hundred pounds last year, hope to double it this year. Slowly building up my annual yield to where produce is a viable income stream. And, I just love growing things and I've always been good at root...

Gonna be putting injectors in my old friend the 1970 MF-165 with Perkins AD4.203. Anything special about this job? Should I worry about the numbers stamped on the remanned injectors I got from Yesterday's Tractor?

Weird thing is, I'm stuck in that quandary where I'm "overqualified" for everything I'm interested in and have to dumb down my resume' just to get interviewed. A college degree is poison in a job search unless it's in the field you are trying for - and then it better not be too much of a degree...

I bought a little fold up set of wire jet cleaners for mine, works great. Get it on Fleabay for 10 bux or so.

Are you talking about only commercial lines? The Durango and Silverton was still running when I was there in 2007, don't know if it still is. The D&S was sort of both commercial and tourist since it was a commuter line between those towns.

That's why I stay stocked up on wood and kerosene until middle of July. That way we won't get any snow.

I always dump old 2 stroke fuel in my gas tractor. Figger it gives the valve seats some much needed lubrication if nothing else.

I wonder if Ultra would be good for lubricating door hinges?:thinking:

Rock on! I may go to 32:1 on my next jug of fuel and see how it does. I have two strato Huskies, a saw and a weedeater, and I can see how they would likely benefit from more oil.

I have a 2012 (if I remember correctly) MS261 with non-Mtronic and unlimited carb. Runs and cuts great, but I'm an Echo guy at heart and I'm leaning towards selling it in favor of a CS-501P. Then I could use the same b/c and most other parts as my CS-500P. Looks like it would go for $3-400 on...

I think it would be really kewl if you could get a Duramax in jade green with Detroit Diesel valve cover logos. If I ever own one I may do just that.

Thanks. Wasn't the 466 originally offered as either a gas or diesel engine? I read that somewhere.

Lisle is a stand up company and will send you warranty tools if you just e-mail them.

That's what papaw always used and I don't remember him ever having any problems, or being very particular about ratio. I have an old metal can of it from his garage. It dates to when Stihl specified 40:1. I always have a bunch of synthetic oil in the garage, but if orange bottle was all I had...

How much bigger and heavier is a DT466 than a Cummins or Power Stroke? Has anybody ever put one in a pickup?

I try to buy a little something every time just to say thanks.

How about folks who park at the pump and just go in to use the bathroom?

I still have all my tools from when I was a tech so I don't buy much anymore, unless it's for a specific need or I just want it. Usually I buy used truck brand tools from Fleabay. I bought one of the Carlyle 3/8" flex head ratchets from Napa just because I was curious and it turns out to be a...

That's one helluva cab crush, did you find any body parts in it?
