    Tire Trouble

    My Dad once told me brake fluid,parts cleaner,any of those petro products shouldn't get near paint,rubber,plastic,pets or skin.If it irritates you skin be aware.Use dish soap for the lube,although your Mom says your allergic to that.

    What can you glean from a terrible picture?

    Well said Brett,we know these rear ends are pretty much bullet proof. If a guy has a non smoker,good runner,he should not be afraid to fire it up for a potential customer. A little elbow grease and parts from our on site people, will make a rewarding project

    1973 128 deck belt question?

    Steering wheel removal

    Looks like that puller was a good solution.When I get ready in the Spring start up,I loosen mine up,in case I have a problem and have to remove steering column. Maybe over kill,but doesn't hurt

    Steering wheel removal

    My Dad always taught me,if you want to remove old or rusty or painted fasteners,you should use some removal solution,thoroughly and a day before.More time means better results.Works for me.
