Fire sale score

admin

Scored a like new Hobart Stickmate 235 amp for $30!!  Cleaned up awesome with just a few spots of rust and laid a bead. For $10 more got two pairs of 1" pipe clamps, they look unused too and a massive vice for a drill press. Vice is pretty rusty thou. Also scored a John Deere STX30 for $75. Guy said it wasn't getting spark. Its banged up, hoods busted. About a quart too much oil in it, battery is toast. Fired up with a little starter fluid.

Reply:On the STX30, does the oil smell like it has been contaminated with fuel?  If the Kohler’s fuel pump fails it often allows fuel to enter the crankcase contaminating the oil and making it overfull.  Fuel with 10% Ethanol reacts with the original butyl rubber in these fuel systems.Everlast PowerPro 256, Everlast W300 Cooler, Everlast Cart 250Millermatic 211, Spoolgun 100, Miller HD CartJackson W60 Truesight Digital Auto Darkening, Victor 315 Torch sitting on a Harper 830-86 cart
