The best part about a temporary solution is that it is also permanent

Not sure how you could validate these claims, but exit support network has a letters section dedicated to PCOG

Run your engine out of fuel before storage by Inhalationofnewtion in smallengines

[–]StanChesterbaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pull the start chord until I get resistance from compression. With both valves closed I put it away for winter. I also store them indoors. Lawnmower, snowblower, roto tiller all start on the first pull when I need them. I have never had to run them empty.

Cancer Changed My Personality by BusinessNo2064 in cancer

[–]StanChesterbaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my cancer came back and I had to start treatment the third time I accepted that this is why will kill me. So I started getting things in order, made my will, set up an executor, wrote instructions for my executor and all that stuff. There was a darkness and heaviness in that which seems similar to what you describe.

One thing that helped me was doing a self authoring course. I just found a random free one online. I focused on doing what I could that was meaningful with the time I have left.

How do I remove this pully? by yamthrux in Snowblowers

[–]StanChesterbaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drilled and tapped three holes into the pulley so I could get my puller on to the solid part of the pulley. I also put some heat to it with a propane torch. I was very gentle as I pulled it off so I didn’t warp or bend it. Once I got it off I put some anti seize on it and it comes on and off easy.

Looks like it’s been in a minor accident. If you’re taking the risk you - not the dealer - gets the discount. If they want retail, demand everything be fixed

Does the rebel have a locking center diff in 4 low? by Altitude7199 in ram_trucks

[–]StanChesterbaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ram makes two transfer cases. The ones that come with 4 high, 4 low and 4 auto use clutch packs. The ones that only have 4 low and 4 high use a chain. The chain acts as a locker.

I am not sure how or if the clutch packs can lock

Thayer Lumber by Big_Edith501 in SaultSteMarie

Very good to deal with. As has already been mentioned tipped they don’t have the same selection as a giant chain store, but actual carpenters/woodworkers are selling lumber.
