Any job worth the effort to do is worth the effort to do it right. I sand and paint oil pans and valve covers on occasion. Still have a goal of a smooth uniform finish. Proper prep is 99% of completing a signature job. Good enough don't cut it. I see lots of good enough work. Going the extra...

Yes you should have it full enough to touch it with the first digit of the checking finger. Leaking transfer case is common. Replace both seals front and rear and try that. I had barbed wire wrapped in my driveshafts a few times. Last time I smelled the gear oil before I knew I was wrapped up...

Maybe I just attach it to the truck and still have 5 new Goodyear MTR 31/10.50 x 15 tires all mounted on wheels. You keep the OEM one for a souvenir. If it fits it ships.

Where should I start? I came home from work last night with all good intentions. I did a multitude of projects and made great headway. Finished and few and will not start anymore projects was the goal. The Wife called and had a flat tire on the Honda Scooter. Off to get that and begin the...

Paint or coat them. Do make sure to sure a wax and grease remover on everything you paint. The oils in your skin can make fish eyes and pock marks in fresh paint. use known clean white rags to thoroughly dry all items washed with the wax and grease remover. I use PPG DX330 and DX440 as a...

Check that 30 AMP fuse is it blowing or melting from a loose resistance connection? I have seen that same 30 AMP near melted in half and still holding current. If you are blowing the fuse and it is seated tightly in the fuse box you have other issues that need corrected. I am here to help...

Check the 30 amp fuse about 1/2 way up on the right side of the fuse box. Is it semi melted and loose? That can be the issue. I split the contention at the bulkhead and add 2 inline sealed fuse holders. One will serve the lighting system and the other is the brake lights. Put a circuit breaker...

Last night I did some rearranging in the center barn bay where Little Red was resting since 1995. I need to make room to set the rear fiberglass roof top inside. I want to keep it inside out of the weather so I have no moisture trapped when I go to assemble it. I had them rear glass gaskets run...

Secret Message from the Rust Gods. There are writing on frames, engine blocks and inside sheet metal that are just there and were marked during assembly. That number may be a component code of the cab soft trim that was damaged and noted for the next QA to replace or repair. The World may Never...

This is the last picture of the M1009 Decade/BIAB1 leaving the assembly point. It was sent to a better life in Germany. It saw hard use and abuse here in the USA. I wish the new owner Good Luck and ask that he enjoy it forever. I done my best. I am just a hobbyist not a professional. I always...

No it is a genuine Honda attachment for the Honda 4514 tractor. The dealer had it and was missing a few of the parts/fasteners. Mainly the counter weight so I built that back bumper attachment and attached it the bagger bars. As everything I did no major modifications to do the attachment and...

I still like a tire frying car. I had many ex police cars in my life. The old Plymouth Gran Fury 440 with a 727 transmission and a Dana 60 rear axle. With the transmission shift linkage locked out you could only go into drive. It was virtually bullet proof. Of all the cars I had the older 70's...

I looked at the pictures. I would also pull the transfer case drain plug and check the fluid level. If you have an over fill condition in the transfer case it could be the transmission rear seal leaking the transmission fluid into the transfer case. If you drain the over filled condition and...

National Coatings and Supplies - RUSFRE I have been using this companies products for 40 years. Great old school stuff that works and won't fail. It looks great when applied and does not transfer when dry. Remains dry and tack free. Good Luck.

I would say definitely a rear driveshaft U Joint. Easy jack the rear axle up and support it. Put the transmission in neutral and check for slop and play. Look closely you should see millings and rust in the U joint area. Take the drive shaft off and check. Easy fix. But fix it before it is the...

He built me a HD truck transmission. Another one of them deals where the rear tires were always bald. I am Guilty. It could fry the 17" Eagles. Wonder where the Son got it from? 1 life, Live it. I had a shop that serviced CVPI's and they were not allowed to plug or patch police departments...

Yesterday I decided I had enough firewood to last about 10 years. that was just counting what I had split stacked and under tarp. I have decided to split the big pile and market it. I will never use it and don't want to see it go to waste. I am constantly finding people that want trees cut and...

Are you a seller or a buyer? And what else is there to know about it?

I would not deal with a shop that I don't trust. same as people that I send parts to and trust them to pay me. That is not happening anymore from this end. I have a man that rebuilds my transmissions and differentials. 1 catch I do the R & R. He does not want vehicles at his business only the...

Today was a long day. I made great progress on the floor and managed to get all the plastic and CARC cleaned off. I even went back to the passemngers side and cleaned the edges better. I need to get the Line X sprayed in and then I will be able to lay down the new floor boards. I have a new saw...
