    Grease Monkey Garage

    At l No kidding! At least the recommended interval is 100k miles. Of course, with my driving requirements that's about 4-5 years.....Meh, as long as they don't break and spit out like past Ferds I'll look at it like is was a '65 283 that needed 8 new plugs about every 20k miles. Course that...

    Grease Monkey Garage

    Might do some research on the spark plugs. I have an '06 F350 with the 5.4, and although I change them often enough to not be a problem, they were known to seize up in the head and break when trying to remove them. The '14 E250 we had at work ejected plugs like a pez dispenser. We sent that one...

    sh!t happens

    Had something similar on a 2 cyl Kohler Courage on a Husq zero turn mower. Luckily blew the head gasket instead of f-bar ing the head. Not sure whether that can happen on a single cylinder or not. Blew my mind as I'd never heard of it before, and couldn't quite wrap my head around why there was...

    Feel better soon! Some nasty flu bugs running around in this area, not sure about the left coast

    Not so pros 4 new and without politics or drama

    Cannot speak for others, but I think the airline tickets for the cows, goats and chickens might be a bit prohibitive!

    About 60* and sunny here today, heading out of work thru the weekend. Hoping to get some wood cut and split for the in-laws with the boy back home for the Holiday, always better to have a younger back around for that. I hope all have a Joyous Christmas, and let's all be careful out there!

    how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

    IF you're feeling squirelly you can do what I did, and rig this up with an electric motor. I bolted it to a length of 2x8, clamp the board to the top of an old Crapsman 10" table saw and use a shorter v-bolt to run the grinder off the saw motor. We've done 100's of pounds of venison burger and...

    Undaunted manufacturing

    Understand, I wasn't necessarily knocking it, I've certainly spent more for less in my life, just never thought I'd see something like that!

    $200 logger boot shootout

    FYI, my experience: Carolina low-heel waterproof loggers were my go to for everyday all-day wear for about 6 years. I'd get a solid year out of them between all-day wear, tromping thru mud and cow poop and firewooding on weekends, etc. Last 2 pairs I had weren't near as good, think they cheaped...

    Great pics! With the fog / low clouds in the first one, kinda looks like the edge of the earth (if it was indeed flat)!

    Nice car! Engine compartment and what we can see of the interior looks about right for the year and mileage. Did it look like the exterior had a previous restoration or is did the paint and chrome look like original? If original that's damn impressive!
