Alot of times it's worth it to buy those old table saws cheap just for the motors on them. I've found old contractor saws on fb marketplace for less than $100 that had Dayton or Baldor motors on them that work perfectly fine, but by themselves new cost hundreds of dollars. I now have spare motors for my table saw, band saw, etc. that would have hurt if I'd have to buy them new. The rest of those old saws just get sold for scrap steel as they really aren't worth much as a saw because most folks want new ones with riving knives or splitters so they don't have to worry about kickback. Now, my personal saw is a vintage Rockwell with no safety features whatsoever, but I have a healthy respect for it and use it properly. If you do decide to take it apart to clean it, I'd recommend getting some new sealed bearings for the arbor as you're going to have it apart anyways.

I have an 2004 artic cat 400 4x4 fis green, its the same engine as the eigar, noisy ,cold natured , and it has the fly wheel issues , I already replaced my fly wheel and stator and pickup. I have lots of water in my gas and im thinking the air vent or gas gage on top is letting water in.

Essentially, I have the exact same problem: I have a bunch of mystery cables, a klein cable tester/toner, but I lack the tone probe. When you cut to the Fender amp, I just about fell outta my chair. GENIUS!!! Amplifiers, I definitely do have!! You better believe I'm gonna be letting my wife know how my guitar and amp addiction is now saving us money! Thank you sir!

Thank you so much for making this video and covering all the areas that will be 'tough' to get through! Too many DIY videos these days where the dissembling process is being demonstrated with parts that were newly assembled for the sake of the video. For the removal of the cartridge - is there any way to do this *without* turning off the cold water valve? I'm in a high rise where the water is extremely hard, and valves are often completely stuck (and forcing them to close shut often results in a a leaking valve we cannot stop). The only way to turn off the water & change the valve is for the building to shut water off to the entire zone (10 floors x 12 units) and drain the water from all the floors down to your unit, and they rarely do these. Just hoping there may be a way to still change out the cartridge (!). Thank you!

Steve, Thank you for your awesome detailed videos. Extremely helpful. Also thank you for your "wire in the cylinder" trick. That was a lifesaver trying to get that fan nut off...🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Also, thank you for explaining about the "Decompression" gear. I didn't even know that had one till you mentioned it. Question, so to get the correct valve adjusted to proper size, you just tighten the 8mm nut on top? Also, there are no valve seals, correct?

WOW, Finally a different youtube video with an old lathe Backgear shaft being removed! It's always little Southbend or Atlas lathes showing the simple little shaft removals, and never the big old lathes with more complicated assemblies... This might be the same as mine that I can't figure out. Thanks man, even though this was from 9 years ago!

To take off the permanent marker off the gages, run your finger on your forehead to collect the oil ,then run the forehead oil on the permanent marker will dissolve it. Then clean up with a cloth. It does work.

PRI is for prime and it lets the gas go freely without vacuum. Reserved or on the gas only flows while the bike is started because of the vacuum.

My assembly looks a lot different than that! Mine is not a row crop and appears to be built in 1973. I can’t get my assemble off the tractor. I think I have all of the bolts out. So I came on here to see some videos about it.
