There is enough oil sloshing from engine vibration & the oil slinger inside they do fine. The Amish have been using engines in this manner for years, maybe more years than I have been living. Wait a moment, I don't know if the engines have been around that long.

I tipped my Honda and my oil sensor shut it off.....

Just saying.

'Old Blue' is a runner. Float needle was hangin' up so put a used one in I had in a used up kit.

Now if we can find where the brake fluid went out of the rear resvoir and replace the pregnant top radiator holse we can go mobileing. Cars can turn to crap just sitting.

If it has power brakes the fluid from the rear reservoir can drain into the power booster, eventually causing it to fail. Its possible for the fluid to get into the valve inside the power booster, causing it to get sticky. Overly sensitive brake pedal or a hard pedal can be simptoms. If no power brakes, pull the carpet back from the inside of the firewall and look at the master cylinder rod for fluid running down and under the carpet. There may be a rubber boot covering the back of it where the rod goes into the cylinder, pull that back and look for fluid. In either case, you may need a new master cylinder.

Good Morning everybody. Got off work yesterday and bucked some logs/limbs I got for free from a tree service. This heat and humidity takes it out of me. I was roached after about 1.5-2 hours. Anybody else have this problem? I sweat like a hog---looks like I jumped in a pool with my clothes on.

I have the same problem. I'll soak my clothes in no time. That's why I don't cut in the summertime. I'd rather it be -10 degrees outside. Then its comfortable.

'Old Blue' was just a ten year old vet when I bought him in October of '76. Not much on him we havn't had apart and back together.

Fixed (non floating) four wheel calipers are famous for either leaking fluid or sucking air in (!).

Yep, also famous for rusting internally. That's why there are companies making calipers with stainless steel sleeve inserts in the piston bores.

One of the very first upgrades I did. Local tire shop ran a special.

Yup, they will suck air due to runout. Several times I drove St. Joseph to St. Louis only to find my pedel go to the floor on the off ramp to hwy 40 in St. Charles county.

Morning all! It's nice outside this am but alas, more rain coming around noon time.

Got a chance to work on the land drag some yesterday evening. Plan to post some photos this evening. Lots of drilling!!! Drilling will have eaten up over 3 hours alone by the time I am done. Going through 3/4" thick angle iron: 30 holes which need 3 passes each to make the 5/8" holes needed for mounting the cutting edges. Then there were the other holes most of them through 3/8" thick steel, 36 of them. I am making the height of the cutting edges adjustable & the mount for the top link of the 3 point hitch mount pivots so it can follow the ground contour better. Where is a magnetic drill when I need one! There is definitely one in my future!
