People in the comments side Stihl has a larger dome shaped hub on the bottom. That would work even better. I might try 3D printing one.

2023-08-28 23:59:22 +0000 UTCI have not seen it since I was a kid. I kinda remember liking it, so I probably should not rewatch it. It's hard for it to be worse than 2 with the 12ish year old kid drug dealer.

2023-08-28 23:57:09 +0000 UTCI don't know how you guys do it. It was 100 here for the first time in 11 years. We just are not prepared for it. Most schools do not have AC. None of the buses have AC. Heck I only have one small fan in my shop.

2023-08-28 13:15:30 +0000 UTCI feel your pain on the heat. Here in DFW we're on day 43 of 100+, which is a lot; but nothing on the 69 days in 1980. But, it finally rained some today, first time in 9 weeks.

2023-08-28 03:12:34 +0000 UTCOur farm had several ponds and protocol dictated the bull grass be cut to the waters edge. The preacher and his family liked to fish there and we couldn't have them getting snake bit on our watch. The M John Deere and the sickle mower took care of all the areas where the bank wasn't too steep. Worked good except for the occasional muskrat hole, they always added excitement. Then Dad got a BushWacker. He was as happy as a pig in poop! When he got too old to handle the beast, it was passed down to me but of course I had a better idea. Remember my story of the MF135 and bush hog that submarined when the bank caved in?

2023-08-28 00:18:39 +0000 UTCI think what your strap needs is some half rotten, like it needs to be at least 3-4 different shades of dark yellow/orange, foam from the bottom cushion of a broken down tractor seat. Use some of your finest electrical tape to permanently attach it to your seatbelt strap at either end of the foam and you got yourself shoulder comfort!

2023-08-27 21:39:33 +0000 UTCI recognize that carb, most older Shindaiwa engine's used them in the 80's, actually had one pass through about a month ago on a fire pump, got the engine going but the pump leaked around the impeller shaft. Fun fact that needle is interchangeable with just about any newer shindaiwa carb, just need to bend the float tabs a bit.

2023-08-27 18:07:38 +0000 UTCToo bad the boy is just a LIIITTLE bit to young to run such a device. But maybe your next project you can put wheels on it and the young man can push it around. I'm sure there's no safety issues with that.

I have used Carbusonic Ultrasonic carburettor cleaning solution, really successfully, (https://www.carbusonic.co.uk/) I have no idea if they will ship to the USA or if I can purchase it for you and send it over.
