Charles, I am about 2 hours north east of oneonta.Im by the eastern tip or oneida lake. I put on a alt. from a 91 ford ranger I had in my garage. It was a very close fit.

Hi stan, I have never really looked at the fouled champion plugs. When they foul they become hedge parts. Hedge parts are when they mess up you take them out and throw them in the hedge row in behind the house. I think a JD M would be better for a garden rather than a allis. But just my two cents. T...

We named him Carl after his grandpa and me. I really tried for Logan but she wouldnt go for it. Now on to business. I pulled the final drive off again(which takes a total of 30 minutes).
