I plugged an ATV tire for my brother in law. Helpful hint is buy the small can of rubber cement and not a tube. Tubes dry up fast, cans will last for years.

I had to "P" BAD! My zipper had taken a BITE out of my SKIVIES, I finally got it FIXED, WHEW!!!
Dad Relieved!

Got up and went to my Brother in laws as he made me a breakfast of sausage, eggs, and toast. We went out to try and find a short that caused a small fire the night before in his 2008 Polaris 700 sportsman. He was having battery drain problems for a year and his alternator light started flashing just before the fire. We pulled the front storage rack off to get access and found the regulator rectifier had a hole burned in the back of it. Polaris wanted 237.00 and we found one one Ebay ( not the cheapest one ) for 55.00. I then went looking through my vintage sheds for old electrical stuff Tom W might like and found some stuff I could also use. Now it's time to relax, cause the wife's shopping ! I did rub elbows with my AA and tried to sort some parts. Retirement suits me well I'd say, PatYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

When I was a kid, I helped my dad put a hard rubber tire on a tricycle wheel! It wouldn't couldn't fit, we boiled it in water and on it went!
Bill try some heat, it may then stretch enough for you to get it on!Comment

Heading out this morning to put a steel roof on a friends mom's chicken coop. Free eggs and the best tasting chicken ever. I have to do what ever it takes to keep that line open, Pats hungry !
Didn't get the above done yesterday, Bob postponed till it till next week, so we talked about cars for 2 hours.
I told him about the VFF site and offered him my roadster parts for a winter put together with friends. Would be a shared car for 4 friends of ours.
I did change the oil in my skid loader and move some dirt around, along with getting the lawn mowed.Last edited by pAAt; 08-23-2017, 08:09 AM.Model A's and of course the famous AA'sComment

Finished the 12 foot ceiling in my garage. Dry wall in the work shop end and I used soffit in the car parking end. Glad that is done, getting to old for that kind of work.Last edited by George Miller; 08-24-2017, 06:46 PM.Comment

Digging on the back 40. My cousin had a party down here last year (DJ) noise and base all week end long ( some young, but legal nudity ). I can't have that below my house, but I thought it might be all right back around the hills some. I had to say no this year, but I'll try to fix him up another location. My cousin is blind and I taught him to drive 4 wheeler. Left, left, right, left, brake, gun it, left, slow down, right, STOP, STOP. !! Very fun dayYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

I repair the gas tank bracket that had two breaks, and one piece missing. I like these old Power Products mowers with no idiot safety switches, no extra tin covers, and not even any valves, except the reed valve to feed the mixture into the crankcase. It doesn't even have a recoil starter to go wrong. I bought this a couple months ago and mowed for 30 minutes, then took the carb and gas tank off to clean them, and fix the tank bracket. This is a great little trimming mower. Just have to be sure to only use mixed gas and oil.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

I wonder if the EPA has outlawed new sales of weed whips, leaf blowers, and chain saws in California, the state where nothing is allowed?Originally posted by BNCHIEF View Post
We have a radio DJ that calls "Minnesota, the state where nothing is allowed", and he's pretty correct on that.
If you go to an RC model airplane show, and smell the exhaust of the planes flying, that sure is a nice smell. It's amazing how those small two stroke engines can hold good compression with no rings on many of the smaller engines. Imagine how close the tolerance between the piston and cylinder has to be, and yet they don't lock up.Comment

Back in the early 50ts When every one in our area was getting a new mower they were mostly all two stroke.Comment

Raced a lot of 2 stroke motorcycles in my day.Comment

I drove my brother's 750 Kawasaki 3 cylinder 2 stoke, and that thing was wild. When I was looking for a motorcycle while I was in the Army, I asked each shop if they had any 4 stroke bikes. The OSSA shop owner asked me what's wrong with a 2 stroke. I told him it was like a chainsaw on wheels and has no low end torque. He told me to take the 250 for a spin in the desert and see what I thought. That sure changed my mind, as it did a wheel stand in second gear when I hardly gave it any throttle. I did buy a Ducati 160 from him though, and that's a great little bike.Originally posted by BNCHIEF View PostComment

Lawn Boy was always a 2 stoke as far as I know, but they were much harder to work on, as I had to fix my uncle's a few times. I don't know if Lawn Boy is still in business.Originally posted by George Miller View PostComment

I just fixed my sandblast cabinet. The plastic water trap bulb split open, so I had to buy a new pressure regulator/water trap for it. This past year or two seems I have spent most of my time fixed things that have just broke. Doesn't leave much time for driving or restoring the Model A.Comment

Sorry missed this comment....what I said above was a somewhat related to, "never put off till tomorrow what you should have done yesterday" which originated from "Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today" some british aristocrat said it. We yanks like to change things a bit now and then. ;)
