    Better intake springs 3hp B&S flathead?

    You will never reach 15 PSI without a big load on the crankshaft. NEVER. It will throw a rod before it reaches any measurable pressure in neutral. Cool project, though. Build a custom chassis dyno for it so you can hold it back and build some boost.

    Horrible fright strikes again!

    Truck accouint for many years, then a Credit account for a big, rolling cabinet. Paid that off when I was 60. I took it all home and quit officially fixing cars.

    Horrible fright strikes again!

    When the guy comes to your workplace with a truck full of top quality tools and I can walk out there and say "I need this" and he puts it on my tab, it's a convenient option. Of course, at $100 a week, every week, most accounts dont pay off until you retire.

    Horrible fright strikes again!

    Hammers, pry bars and tool boxes, wrenches to cut up and weld for custom tools...Hobo Fright, everything else, Snap-On, Matco, maybe Craftsman, but never anything technical from HF.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    Have you checked your condenser lately? I think it sounds like an ignition problem. On the other hand, it could be a muffler issue.

    Horrible fright strikes again!

    Does it say 10 1.25 on it? In my situation, I need to drive past 4 auto parts stores, Lowe's and Tractor Supply to get to Hobo Fright. I hope you didn't wipe out the original threads.

    100 degree (Fahrenheit 🇺🇸🦅) weather problems.

    Hey, Stupid, you have asked the same question in several topics, now. You have recieved all of the answers from the members, you have even gotten the "HIVE MIND" response from an MODERATOR, and yet, you refuse to change your focking belt. Why do you keep asking for advice and then arguing with...

    How are you celebrating Americas 250th birthday?

    Burgers and dogs under the oak trees with the neighbors I barely know, picnic tables and waiting for the fireworks from about a mile down the road. Sunday picking up the trash and finding whose these tables belong to. 250 years is a big deal. Without stating anything political, I want to stay...

    ARC rod copy for GX340/390/predator 420

    Looks good. Where did it come from? We have a 420 on a 73 Wheel Horse "mud kart" that might be fun with more RPM.

    In northern Ohio, we had some 8 ounce glass bottles called Little Kings. OMG we went through some of those and raised some HECK! High school in a college town...there were drugs to be found. We liked the microdots!

    How to Choose the Right NEMA 17 Motor for an Electric Focuser?

    My camera knowledge ended with the Kodak 110 with the little black cartridge. Who remembers flash cubes? Yeah, I might be that guy.

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    I still wonder about some of those late nights in the seventies...empty MD 20/20 bottles in the back seat, Boones Farm bottles on the front floor board, blood on my clothes, car parked in my parents' front yard, (not my car) and waking up at noon. Car owner had his keys, also slept late, and had...

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    We low-life tire lackies prefer cans. Bottles laying around tend to break on the floor. Cans, only!

    How are you celebrating Americas 250th birthday?

    I think the upside down flag is an insult to the country and what it stands for. I know, we all have the right to our own opinions, but as a disabled veteran, I respectfully object to the improper display of the flag I fought for. You do whatever you think is correct, though.

    Can you rent a tire mounting tool?

    I bought a Hobo Fright small tire changer for about 70 bucks last week. It is about 18-20 inches tall and on a steel base about 6x6. I plan to weld it to a removable receiver hitch ball adapter with a 2 inch offset so I csn plug it in and use it, then store it in the tool box when not needed...

    New mini jeep

    SAE diff axle with whatever bearings are needed to adapt to the frame, correct sprocket and a diff swap should be a piece of cake.
