    The Mule Rides Again

    I keep thinking about this and I would think it is time to do a body divorce from the frame and do it right. I lifted that body off washed and painted everything. That was 18 years ago. I am guilty of being the one that drove that vehicle thru all the bad weather and salt. It seems like we have...

    I have been using the mower. And yes, I like it. It is not a Honda, but it will do the job. The controls are not as comfortable to the hands as the Honda. After 40 years of using the same mower, I guess it will take time to adjust. Next year I am buying a remote mower and putting lawn mowing in...

    I was getting the fuel tank ready to reinstall and used some OD Green nylon strapping as my isolator. I think it holds up better than tat paper and looks good. I used adhesive to hold it down to the tank and the metal straps. I see no problems. I removed the tank and it was wrapped in tar paper...

    I had the pressure washer out the past 2 hours. I am going in and changing my clothing for some painting. I have clothing I wear for painting that don’t matter while I am wearing them. I hope everyone has a pair of clothing like that. Good Luck and Have Fun.

    Blown Head Gasket Recovery (no longer) - Massive Engine Failure (!)

    Balance is my main concern when mixing power plants in vehicles. I had a 1974 Dodge W200 with a 318. I bought a wrecked 1979 Dodge St Regis at the PA State Police auction. The wrecked car had a 360 with 23K on it and ran and drove. It was wrecked hard on the right side. It stole the car at the...
