so cute!!!!!! Former Portlander, now in the midwest USA.

Eric, Another fine FATR! A bid of plumbing advice: Find a plumber that needs some automotive help and trade your skills to replace the absolutely crapola plastic pipes in your shop. Or insist that the landlord get things fixed. I perceived lots of kludge plumbing in your intro. Not that I h...

Awesome is putting it mildly! Much admiration for your thinking process. The last years of carbs were CRAZY. Especially the honda carbs. I think the engineers just added vacuum actuated circuits to make the carbs work so that the cars would pass emissions regulations. And added, and added.......

@Lucas69522 This is a very unknowable question. B&D smartcharger? Meant to charge what? You are asking for a setting to charge for a lawn tractor.....What are the battery specs???? Geese, do some research on your own.

Awesome Dad!!!

Marcus, great tutorial on hand sharpening. For sharpening without power, I think your method makes perfect sense. Personally, I use an electric belt sander followed by a leather strop for my chef knives. The diamond steel or regular steel is used for in kitchen touch-ups.

Don. Thanks again for your instructional vids. . Higher octane rated gasoline does not burn hotter, and will NOT of itself, cause an overheat condition. Basically, octane rating of fuel is an indication of resistance to pre-ignition. In our small engines, octane rating has little meaning. ...

Another shoutout for donyboy73. GREAT videos about repairing and maintaining small engines. And a stand up guy as well.

Thanks for the vid. I bought some sanding and leather belts and polishing compound from Pop's Knife Supplies (awesome service) and tried your method on my belt sander. Incredible fast results for knife edges. Thanks again!!

Excellent vid. Helped me out for my first split chicken on the big green egg. I cooked mine in a pan with rosemary and orange quarters. Cooked up a treat. Thanks again

Where ever you put the FATR, I'll watch it because it is entertaining and I always learn something. Thanks for all your hard work. And the cogent commentary.

Get some rest (you deserve it) and thanks for the info. I had a couple of Audi's and have been inside those driver's doors more times than I care to remember. German electrics and door hardware. You'd think they could do better.

Thanks for the vid. I repaired a husky 51 using your same method of sanding and using a chinese piston. My saw was a garage sale find for ten dollars. I used a dental engine for removing bits of piston from the scratches in the cylinder. My only surprise was the difficulty of using the chines...

I'll chime in and offer my best wishes to you and your wife. I am the primary caregiver for my wife, who deals with MS, that is multiple sclerosis, another of the many autoimmune diseases. Difficult to deal with a disease for which there is no cure and no known cause. Our strategy is decrease ...

I completely agree about engine rebuilding. In a world of robotic manufacturing and high labor costs, the old fashioned "engine overhaul" makes very little financial sense. Generally it is remove and replace, or scrap and replace. This is even true with most cars. Unless one is dealing with a...

Absolutely a great modification. I have a John Deere Sabre mower that is pretty much the same as yours and I agree: I can't figure out how the stupid button to reverse makes it safer.

Awesome rc flying! Most viewers don't know how difficult it is to land on that kind of platform. Well done Brian!

After a crash like that, the thing to do is stand in the middle of a busy intersection, and view the carnage. What is it with the Chinese and standing in the street?

Oxidization? I think you nean oxidation. But thanks for the vid.

Just fyi. Most blade adaptors are made of a weak cast metal and are designed to fail sacrificially to prevent damage to the crank. So this careful method of removal is good. Hammering will lead to a new expensive part

Eric, Although I am disappointed that the podcast will no longer have your input, I can understand. We all are presented with choices and your decision as to how you use your time is indeed yours. I look forward to your other videos. Grace and Peace

Thanks for another great time and money saver video! I just purchased a John Deere lawn tractor with this kind of problem. Actually it is a 20 hp twin Briggs. One cylinder was nonoperational due to the intake valve pushrod being out of position. (Lack of maintenance I believe) Anyway, when a...
