Diesel tractor over revving, why?
Thread Starter: Perry Holbrook
I've got a 23 HP diesel Kioti tractor, 3 years old. As I was operating the backhoe at about 1/2 throttle, the engine suddenly over revved, smoked for less than 10 seconds and then died. I checked all fluids, temps, etc looked over the engine for any obvious problem and all was fine. To my...

Since I’m on a tight budget and needed handles for my new tools, I decided to build my own. At first I was going to make some nice wood handles but then I thought aluminum would look nice. ...

About 5-6 months ago I wanted to turn a piece of Cholla, but there wasn't any solid wood to center on to. It took me about 30 minutes to come up with what I call a "Chuck Plate".

I will try to find my hot knife and post a picture. It works for all of the caulks, glues, and putty I have come across. It even helps with removing silicone.
