    pickeling...stuff

    I am in the process of collecting garden veggies for pickeling. Question. I only have a few green bean plants. Can I freeze the beans until I have enough for a whole batch of canning or should I just do a jar or two as I get enough? Also, I seem to remember a quick and easy way of pickeling by...

    Diesel Mech question -Anyone smart???

    Here's the situation. 1973 TD-25C. Turbo starts making some noise, like a knock or loud tap. Sound goes away. Engine starts running like crap (i.e., no power -but idles fine). Shut down the engine, pulled the turbo and sure enough, it needed a rebuild. Not seized, but the bearings were...

I might need to take a...

    Snow Trac Registry

    I haven't noticed if building a Snow Trac registry has ever been successfull. If not, I am willing to assemble a spreadsheet with that information. The idea would be to try to document every known unit whether operational or not, still in existence or not. Interested???

    ST-4 Carburetors

    While getting my ST-4 ready for the playing season, I found that it doesn't want to run very well. I had some issues last year but they would come and go. I am in the process of rebuilding the carb and wondered what is supposed to be on the engine. I have the industrial 1200 cc with a 30/31 PICT...
