    Tell us something we don’t know.

    I wasn't aware that Volvo did that. I had a new 1959 one. Loved it 60 mph 5grab with right hiand, jab, and you were hooked up. No need to hunt around to find the latch.

    Well, Well, Well, Just as I suspected

    That is he dumbest thing I have seen so far trying to deny climate change. "Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain." Per that 1998 was a...

    Stihl MS 311

    I bought the 310 (I don't know what the modification was in the 311) back when they first came out. A very good, reliable saw. It ate literally acres of trees. I actually ran it until I started up grading to commercial grade Stihls. It had almost no compression at that point but still ran...

    That looks like a motorized buckrake. I don't see an operator postion on it though. I stacked hay with a team of horses pushing a buckrake. Can't watch teh film, way too long for my dog of a server, it would take all day to load.

    One of the great movies. I watch it every few years and will still occasionally catch a sight joke I hadn't noticed before. Example the sign outside the church lissting the membership.

    How to lube Husq sprocket tip

    Yes, that is new method, bar and chain oil takes care of any needed on the nose also. I have worn out one nose sprocked since the greaseless thing came in but that bar had eaten years and hundreds, possiblly into the thousands of cords of wood. It didn't owe me anything.

    IIRC they had two headlights in the fenders and 1 bullseye in the middle of the grill that is the one the turned with the wheels. Then came the Edsel that did the same think and people were saying What a great idea Edsel had. Stolen credit.

    Squatter's rights;

    A bit of correction. Land owner not only has to be aware of the adverse use but take active steps to end it. Or also agree to continue the use thereof but under whatever conditions the owner wants. That 'agree to continue' must be renewed periodically, If it lapses for the 15-20 years, the...

    Squatter's rights;

    Squater's rights rest solidly on the principle "knew or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN" that the adverse use was happening. Period of years svaries in states. In mine I think it is 7 years without the original owner doing anything about it. A simple registered letter to the squatter periodically can allow...

    How are we gonna fix this

    My first try would have been a long bolt screwed into one of the holes. If that didn't work I probably would not have thought about suction.

    Another very good reason for NOT burying the tank and contols in a hole in the ground. The is no reason under God's blue sky not to have it in a heated building. My neighbor is an example of extreme stupidiy. He dilled a new well and installed the tank a workings in a shed next to the well...
