    Best SNACKS Eaten by Tree House Members!

    A cool trick with store bought queso is to smoke it, adds a whole nother taste range that really makes it. We would build a little aluminum foil boat, dump the bottle in, then throw it on the grill with some water soaked chips thrown on the coals. Later i starting making it in my Dutch oven and...

    How'd it go today?

    If it's dirt I'll work great, the only thing that slows it down is solid rock. Around here at least hardpan is compressed clay and dirt that's dried out, add some water and force the dirt to move with a few thousand psi and its no longer hardpan. Try it next time, you might be hand digging less...

    How'd it go today?

    Pressure washer and a shop vac, you would be amazed at how well it works :lol: especially for trenching in something narrow, because the hole only has to be wide enough for the shopvac hose so it can suck the spoil away. You'll need other dirt to backfill with tho, unless you wanna wait till it...

    Decluttering

    Any hardware store, it's a painting solvent. We would use it for removing oil before welding.

    Decluttering

    You can, but it seeps so well its surprisingly hard to contain. I had it in a new us made oil can and it leaked out the bottom seam, and it's attempted epoxy repair, need to braze or solder it or something. They do make refillable spray applicators that would probably work, but a chip brush will...

    Decluttering

    50/50 acetone and atf fluid, you'll never buy penetrating oil again, mason jar and a chip brush for applying. A section of brake line with your finger (like a straw) over the end will apply it to tight spots wonderfully too.

    The dreaded stripped threads, Husky 572

    For my deere mower that was how they have you attach a replacement bearing for the blades :lol: They have their place, but i still like to drill a small pilot hole because an actual drill bit cuts better and gives better results. They're often used for sheet metal so they work great for that...

    How'd it go today?

    When faced with stress and the like, i find it's best to focus on what you can change and accept what you can't, then make a list and plan how you're gonna do it all and just go to work on the stuff you can do. The fastest way to work is by calm, measured steps that are planned out, so you can...

    They should have springs on them, the piece that has the zerk on it will move outwards as it's filled. You can't really overfill them, it'll just push grease out or shoot off the cap.

    The dreaded stripped threads, Husky 572

    That's awesome, I've never messed with magnesium, very cool, very dangerous. That's exactly how i like doing them in materials that i can weld, that or braze welding them shut too, works great with cast iron. The al carb for my welder was cracked from the fuel fitting being over tightened, so i...

    They even have auto grease feeders with springs on industrial equipment, and spring loaded oilers. Basically grease is cheap compared to repairing the equipment so it's ideally completely full of grease at all times, including on assembly. Wheel bearings normally don't take that much grease to...

    The dreaded stripped threads, Husky 572

    Glad you've got it going without messing with it, drilling and tapping is never fun. I've surprisingly never done a helicoil on an engine repair, they're used to keep the same size bolt as the original and I've never had that constraint yet, a slightly larger bolt has always been acceptable for...

    I would wait till you have the new caps at least, and hopefully you don't need new bearings or even worse a spindle. You'll need to pull the cotter pin and unscrew the castle nut to get the bearings off, note how it comes apart so you can put it all back. Once you clean them up and get them...

    Get some bearing buddy caps with a zerk, then replace the cap with the bearing buddy ones. Then you dont have to pull it apart to grease it, which is the normal way. Since those haven't been touched in years you might wanna pull them apart, clean them, then repack them.
