    Husqvarna carburetor

    Or just yank it off, tear it down for a clean. If it needs a rebuild, order an OE kit for it. Had issues with my 30+ year old hand me down Husqvarna string trimmer. Bought an actual Walbro carb kit and did a proper cleaning. Biggest thing was cleaning the idle and low speed discharge holes...

    What are you eating right now?

    Ribeyes tonight. Started on the Traeger, reverse seared on the gas grill. We like a little bbq sauce on them to finish. Just cant go wrong.

    2024 6.7 Cummins - Looking for an oil recommended

    Couldn't say for sure how the new style engines run on a 30 weight, whether the new lifters prefer 30 or 40. My 2017 has lived on a steady diet of 30 weight since 24,000km. Its at 160 now. Ran a couple used oil analysis and nothing exciting was happening. If it was me, I would find a nice...

    Diff oil seal for front CV axles on 3/4 ton Chevys

    I did the front driver side diff seal on my Trailblazer in about 2013 at 130,000km. I think the seal was made in Brazil as well. Fast forward, 270,000km and its seaping again.

    What are you doing right now?

    Shot up some gophers in the morning. Then watched my 15 year old daughter ride some horses. Some folks hauled in their penning horses and she put some rides on. My 14 year old had her jumping horse out for a burn as well. Then off to set my mole traps. Cleaned up my quad, greased it up...

    What are you eating right now?

    No pics of everything but did my brined ribs and ribeyes. The ribs were fantastic as usual but I must say that the steaks were amazing. Just a basic marinade in soy sauce over night, 410F on the Traeger until rare. Then rest. They were juicey and fall apart. I did homemade pizza the other...

    1997 Silverado trans fluid change advice

    I had snagged an old 1993 1500, 5.7 with the 4L60E. I believe about 370,000km of hard use. Fluid was dark, very dark but did not smell burnt. It had a 3-4 shift flare, a shutter when in lockup under light load under 2000rpm and it slipped bad when trying to pass on the highway and not in...

    What are you working on today?

    Cleaning up. New staff took out the glass on the bi-directional a week ago. Three days later the skid steer met the same fate. This week I will have a glass shop come out and measure up new glass as I do not have time to locate some from a wrecking yard for a 39 year old tractor. A new...

    What are you eating right now?

    Seeing as it was my day off and the weather was great. Made some ribs. There are also some chicken breast and steak filets on the grill as we speak. Man so I love ribs. Did a simple sea salt, pepper and onion powder brine over night. Then some Traeger chicken rub while on the grill. Then...

    Mahle KC63/1D diesel fuel secondary filter for MB

    Not that I have much of anything to compare, so this is very subjective. Aeeing as that's the secondary, I would say there is quite a bit of material in there. What are the specs for the primary?

    What are you eating right now?

    Cooked these up for the kids the other day. Best on the Traeger but in the interest of expedience, cast iron on the gas grill, still really good. The little town where I work out of has this little grocery store with a butcher shop. They make these smokies, amongst other amazing things, in...
