I have 2 sets of wrenches in my wrench drawer, and enough loose pieces to fill up a separate drawer. I keep those down at the very bottom, to be used whenever I lose a wrench. And all the wrenches in that bottom drawer got rust on them! I think maybe the humidity is much worse the lower you are, I have lockers in my shop as well as the bottom vents are completely rusted while the tops look fine.

 

lawnmower 1. Me 0.

 

That dont look good
I am guessing not an easy fix as in everything needs to come apart to fix it?

sheered the keyway on the blade holder. Trying to get the blade mount off it broke the bolt on the gear puller.

ironically. The new push mower the parents bought didnt last 20 minutes before the engine blew up it a puff of smoke lol

 

Well I'm currently at a stand still as USPS gives my package with carb gasket kit and new power valves a tour of the state. Normally my packages go Greensboro Fayetteville to Swansboro. So far they've went Charlotte, Fayetteville, Wallace... they show of been here last Thursday but now say Tuesday so who knows... meanwhile my carb is setting...

 

took all day. But got the new door in at the new house. Old door fought tooth and nail to get it out. But its in at least. Needs some adjustments. But its in.

 

Looking good Shawn When you're finished trimming , come on up to NY....I have a front door to put in.

 

Larry, remember the days of speed shops on every corner?
Sure miss them and the only one that I knew of around here in F. V. had shut down

Shawn, looks good.
After the trip to NY I could use a some help on a door install

I felt the AC in the pick up not blowing as cold as it should.
Also when I would come to the light it would start blowing warmer.
Put the gauges on and found the low side at 25 PSI, a little low in my book.
I dont remember now what the high side was.

When I went to give it more charge I found the sight glass on the gauge set leaked
I have only used it a hand full of times but guess that all you get from HF gauge set back to
I was able to get the low side up to about 50 PSI.
Think it blows colder but it is also cooler out so time will tell.

I also bought a plastic welder, heat & blower as 1 tool.
I used it to weld my garden tractor side panels together of what parts I have of them.
I still need to do more work to them before I can install them back on the tractor.

I remember you telling me about getting the plastic welder, do you have any before and after pics to share? I've never used one.

 

ty ty.. i gotta do some fine adjustments first... its just in enough to resecure the house because of how long it took to get the old one out... the old one was going to go on rear of the house... but gotta see about that now... cuz i might need to build a new frame for it now... the storm door it looks like ill need to move to the back too since the instructions for the new door says i need a vented storm door to keep the warranty intact...

 

Sorry to say no before and have not taken any after.
I am still working on the panels as they still need tabs made and welded or glued on.
I was thinking of working on them tomorrow but you reminded me of the Four Oak's show.
Also thinking of how I can make the tabs as they were missing when I got the tractor.

Dave is your plastic welder something like this:

I'm not sure what Dave uses, I used the bigger one From harbor freight, it did ok, I honestly used it maybe once or twice in the last 5 years.

 

Something you would buy for a specific job and that would pay for itself, then sit in the cabinet until the next time something comes up.
