    What new tools have you got lately?

    Well, they do stack! Have 3 of them now, 2 Airco Bumblee Bees and now this Miller, they are the exact same machines. Know if I run into any others in the 400 dollar - range I'll snag them.

    Anything like mine, if it's leaking out the crack it aint out? Sorry I've no idea, but will want to one day when I get it off cleaned up ,welded and back on. Figure if it's close to the top hole it's full.

    Ladder / Lumber Rack

    Read through this when you first put it up, couldn't really figure out the problem. Figure the width is adjustable and has been hacked? Adjustable is nice at times, permanant is stronger. If you dont need the adjustability could you not replace the cross pieces with solid?

    What new tools have you got lately?

    Unless destroyed ie, crushed, cut or bent, no they are fixable. The brand names are anyway, Victor, Smith Harris. Though parts are becoming hard to find and because of liability not readally avilable to the public consumer.

    Donkey. Dirt track race car build.

    Was unaware they didn't? Prob why I have a sand rail. Once this race car is done, figure we will put the auto trans and rear end we are taking out of it and put in the rail. Tool around our little town, go out in the country and chase coyotes or antalope.

    Blower fan will not blow when heat is switched to defrost.

    I've never seen them connected. Defrost should work fine weather a/c compressor does or does not even exist or not.

    Blower fan will not blow when heat is switched to defrost.

    Your defrost/a/c selector has to be hitting a wire when you slide it over to defrost. Fan speed and what holes blow are not related. Fan is electric selector is vacume. Or, that's all I've ever seen.

    What defined the shape of a SM465 shifter? The rod part

    Yes, have been and are both now 2 and 4 wheel drive, no diffreance. Try to extend the shifter out, make it longer and see if it "fits" better. They just always seemed to short to me, suspect it's for the benefit of the one riding *****?

    What defined the shape of a SM465 shifter? The rod part

    The 5' 9" 150 pound (not sure the weight is correct, but it is close) American male human. What everything was engineered around back then. So, if you ain't 5'9" it ain't "right". Heat it up and bend it to fit you, just has to clear the dash. Personally I extend all mine 6"... I believe, been a...

    Donkey. Dirt track race car build.

    These old cars are stiff. Passanger side jack is an inch higher than drivers side. Week ago drivers side frame was about an inch off its jack. Almost a week later it settled down. Now its time for some weld out. My TIG is mighty rusty but coming around.
