I prefer white oak personally because it's hard and holds up well. Wallnut is more easily damaged, but if you're going to store it out of the weather it boils down to what makes you the most happy .

I just stumbled across this thread(don't know how I missed it) and I kinda enjoy a little nonsense discussion. I pretty much tune out any ad that doesn't relate to our disease. But I do like hearing the banter back and forth.2cents

It's just that time, I can remember when I was in high school watching the scrapper cutting up CCKWs and Jeeps like they were nothing. I guess I'm just getting old and tired and too sick to think about my old stuff going to make razor blades and cheap crapl from china. Afterthought: My...

I'm surely not a rocket scientist, just a shade tree mechanic but it seems to me that if it needs water or soil contact to break down then in a sealed area it should be just as good or better with the higher lubricity. I can understand in the case of wheel bearings under water fordings might be...

If they send you to the big house let me know and I'll send you a carton of cigerettes. There must have been a more interesting thread going at the time. That's why I following this thread now. Plust I think it's funny. Not that I would mention long legs and bikinis.:roll:

They are hitmen sent by thr mobster to kill the Roy Scjieder charactor for robbing his parish preist. That's why he was hidding in the first place. Go back and watch the beginning again and all will be understood.

I used Kreem from J.C.Whitney & Co. about 20 years ago and it's stood the test of time. I only had one leaking at the bottom seam. After I cleaned the can I put a little in the bottom and pressurized it by wrapping a rag around an air hose till it came out of the seam.. I've also used the...

One thing to note if you decide to use the weld in type of fitting, don't put it on the side or bottom next to the seam of the drum. I've brazed several regular pipe fittings to steel drumms and if you do it next to the seam it will leak, there's a sealer in the rolled joint that will cause it...

I've never heard of alcohol being added to diesel, or even rumors of that. The ethanol is added to gasoline as an oxidizer since MTB has been outlawed due to ground water contamination. The problem with ethanol is mixed with WMO will absorb water from the air and separate sooner or later...

The guys at the yard I picked it up at said it had been sitting there around 4 years untouched. The tank was only about 1/2 full when I got it and the water was full of black algae. I didn't find any leaks in the top of the tank so I have to assume it was condensate.:roll:

Congradulations on your trip through the confusion of license issue.s I enjoyed the trip I took through the same maze here in Missouri a few years ago. I never did get a straight answer no matter who I talked to. The drivers license office was no help from the clerks behind the counter, to...

Just curious what motor it has that required dual stacks? I like that top any idea who made it?

You would need a pressure vessel to build enough vaccum to pull the moisture out. A 55 gallon drum would just suck the sides in and you'd wind with oil in your vaccum pump. The layer you speak of is called the "rag layer". In the chemical industry it is common to use a cone or round bottom...

I was wondering is the simple answer would be for JATonka or Westfolk could make the threaded part of the adapter with the same thread to screw into the engine and the outer part with an NPT thread on the outer to use a remote filter mount?2cents That way simply replacing the threaded part you...

Since it appears the ODIRON kits are no longer available, it's kind of a moot point. Another thought I wonder if either of the spin-on kits could be easily modified with the adapter using the same internal thread and the outer connection made with a NPT thread? The it would be easier to...

I haven't had to change any tires yet on my 5 tons yet, but I have one of the geared OD wrenches when the time comes and a heavy duty 3/4" impact that I changed tires with on my old International dump truck. I will probably get a chance to try it out in the near future because I have an almost...

Well it's not OD or even military however when I painted my Case backhoe I used the same enamal to paint everything just like on the factory paint job. That was about 10 years ago and the engine has held up well. Whenever I work on something I paint whatever it is before installing and it...

Start with scrap price and keep going untill you feel faint.:roll: Maximum what ever you can stand.

Another point to consider: when blowing sand and dust off yourself while cleaning up use lower pressure air gun because you can actually blow contaminents through your skin. I've seen the effects of guys blowing fly ash from a boiler off themselves and blowing the sulfuric acid it contains...

I buy all the gas for my old tractors and small engines in 5 gallon army cans. I add a quart of distilled water or air conditioner condensate in the summer to the can before I fill it with 4.5 gallons of E10. I let it settle with a block under one side to make a low spot to siphon off the...
