Got the chicken tractor up and running. Had to hurry up and get the functional part done for winter, still gotta finish up some trim. I just move it around to a new spot every couple days with the tractor. Free range confinement. They should start producing eggs pretty soon. The 5gallon bucket...

Chinese starter!??!???!!!! Slowly I turned Step by step Inch by inch....

Squeak is vibration. So anti-rattle springs are important, as well as caliper lube. As mentioned earlier, deglaze the rotor surface, and deglaze pad surfaces if they've been used. Grind a 45 degree bevel on the leading edge of the pads. (Some pads are manufactured this way) Upon assembly, take...

Had to look again. I thought it said Norton.

Easier starts because of hotter spark available. Smoother at high rpm because there is no point float or bounce. (Transistor replaced the spring) Makes good sense. When EI burns out, you're dead in the water. When points burn out, or condenser shorts, you're "just as" dead in the water. Either...

Elusive. Currently settling for pork.

Me and the dog walked out to change the SD card. Still looking for that buck.

4 rainbows

Coffee at the dining table this morning.

Ahhh, but that's only an opinion....

Ya, sometimes you just might get lucky using "Mechanic-inna-Can". It's worth 6 bucks to wish the motor didn't have to come out. Ya payz yer money, and ya takes yer chances.
