Got my attention when you posted carburetor repair and then right below was a big fire.
What we did in our shop today!
So, What Did You DO In Your Shop Today??
OK, for me mowing and gardening season is over,,, I get to spend some QUALITY time in the shop.
Those projects that have been nagging me were left on the back burner because the weather was so nice.
My propane heaters are set up,,, I am ready to start some projects.
A couple weeks ago, I needed to drill some larger holes, so I finally ran power to the drill press.

Today, I ran power to the Jet 9x16 saw,, IT IS ALIVE!! :thumbup1gif:

So,,, what did you do in the shop,,, Today,,, ? :dunno:

When I first saw the post, I had the same exact thought. Fire!Got my attention when you posted carburetor repair and then right below was a big fire.
Well not exactly inside the shop tonight.
more like outside beside the shop.
Had to make some repairs to the batwing, as well as some basic anise service needs to it as well.
Broke a belt in the rear deck Sunday afternoon, which really the problem started a couple weeks ago when I got a tree root jammed in the rear deck and smoked the heck out of that belt. I was really sort of surprised I got 1 and 3/4 mowing out it while waiting in AHW to ship me some new belts. Went ahead and bought all 3, but the other two I plan to keep on hand since the other belts still look like new. And yes I did get my my free Hreen parts shipping using the TTWT coupon code.
Found a nut backed off and the rear deck was only lifting with the left chain. Fixed that too.
Also had a busted grease fitting on a blade spender that took about 45 min to get it out of there and replace it. It had been in the too due list for a while. All good now.

That reminds me of an old Monty Wards (Gilson) lawn tractor I had years ago. It was always a bear to start. One day my new wife (27 years ago) asks if she can pull it out of the shed to get to some yard tools and I said "If you can start it, you can move it." She hops on, pushes the throttle full on and it fires right up. She backs the throttle off a bit and pulls the little tractor out of the shed with me standing there slack jawed.
I never admitted that I didn't know how to choke the darn thing.4881 - 4900 of 4913 Posts
