    I think someone is in trouble...

    From what I have read, the 'Boeing' system does not show the door ever being "removed" as it was only pivoted out of position and was still in contact with the fuselage. The 'Spirit" system would have shown the door as being "removed" with the same actions. So based on that, Boeing will not have...

    Replacing broken Craftsman sockets

    Guess I do not know why a quality tool should not last a lifetime if it is used properly. I got my first set of 1/2' drive Craftsman sockets 60 years ago. They have been to countless SCCA and NHRA tracks, built and rebuilt hundreds of automotive engines & marine diesels; done endless...

    Looking for advice re: purchasing a reliable lawn tractor

    If 13,000 sf is a bit too much to mow with a push mower, I had better get my 72 year old wife a wheelchair. She mows more than that around the farmstead with a push mower every week and has for over 30 years. She finally agreed to a self propelled model a few years ago. She says it keeps her...

    Used oil

    If you are talking about folks with waste oil burners not wanting your used oil you would be mistaken. We have two Clean Burn burners which handle everything we feed them except brake fluid. Hydraulic fluid, conventional/synthetic motor oils and solvents keep the shops toasty warm. The little...

    Help with information on lower drive belt, please?

    "Two techs said there was nothing that can be done; it is because the belt is too tight and will decrease with time." Just a quick side note here. It is my understanding that today's mower drive and deck belts, due to both design and materials, do not "stretch". They will however "wear" causing...
