    Nothing on a vehicle's wiring harness is soldered from the factory, it's all mechanical connections. Just sayin...

    Run the engine up to temp, get it good and hot, then shut down and break the nuts/studs loose. That's basically the procedure in the Hanes manual for all my trucks, it's worked just fine for me on small engines when I'm worried about rust or heat cycles. I also try to give a nice, firm, square...

    NGK plugs are awesome. When it's OEM. After nearly a decade in the parts house, my wife has "Views", and I am compelled to express them. NGK has no replacement, when it's what the design called for. The exception is small engines, and two strokes, NGK is just superior there, I promise. Fords...

    Cancer is a terrible illness. Pedophilia is grounds for euthanasia. Hence the chipper question. Since I don't own a chipper currently, I guess I'll just have to stick with using my Rottweiler.

    All this chipper talk, that I know nothing about, inspires a question. I've avoided asking it up til now, but inquiring minds are dying to know. What's the proper technique, according to professional chipper operators, to feed pedophiles? Is it a head first thing, or is feet first ok? Also, is...

    Cock the carbide sharpener to the side, putting one carbide flush with the flat part ofbthe blade. The other carbide is then doing all the work.

    Your in a bit of a bind there. How often do you think you'll use the chipper? Corn gas is typically good for a month or so. Also, don't bother with seafoam, just use the stabil. I like seafoam but stabil is a better product for storing fuel.

    Speaking out the side of my neck here... I'd agree that those statements are indeed correct. Saw chain is an under developed technology. From alloy and temper/heat treatment, to overall geometry. I refuse to believe that saw chain is a solved problem. I do believe that our greatest jumps in...

    We're using the wrong wood species, and I don't care, better to try than not. It'll take forever to break down to something bioavailable to plant roots, the chipper will help. It'll also help reduce the fire risk of enormous brush piles, drying in the high desert sun. Here's the unit I really...

    Once a piece of equipment comes to me, it will die in my care. That's been a resolution of mine for years, since selling a truck I should have kept, but that's its own story. My work volume is so low, typically 1 tree at a time, everything usually fits into my truck and trailer, one trip. If...

    Hmm. Ya know, I don't work much around a chipper. Saftey reasons. Most folks in my neck of the woods who've actually run a chipper, have never done so for a climber, thus the "rope in the chipper thing" is a legit concern for me. We're looking at a small "happy homeowner" size unit, maybe 3-4...

    Your hydraulic oil is definitely milky in the photo, change it for sure. I use the O'Reilly stuff in the green bucket, it's a Hyguard equivalent that works in most stuff. As far as security, stash a tracker, there's some nice ones out nowadays. I say that because the best locks only keep...
