I can think of about 3 poeple off the top of my head, you, me, and my brother.

Keep your stick on the ice. Professor AvE pays a little homage to Canada's real hero with his change order. Oh, and if the women don't find you handsome, they can at least find you handy.

Yeah, AvE, This Old Tony, Abom79, MrPete22, a few others.

Never got the stick on the ice turn of phrase, but that makes sense.

Anyway, he's (AvE) is a character for sure. Just cracks me up. Then you see him talk to his daughter when she wanders into the shop and he's a totally different guy. So tender and sweet to her.

Carry on.

I like AvE a lot. Chickadee too. There's a lot of stuff you didn't get on the website. He's got a whole forum like this one, and theres a dictionary. As far as the Red Green homage, those Canadians stick together.

Ive got a love-hate with ChuckE2009 and Mechanic Steve.

I'm a lifelong hobbyist woodworker but enjoy all sorts of projects. Recently got more into metal working and have learned alot from youtube. ChuckE has half a million subscribers, so he's doing something right.

OK, getting way off track. Sorry 'bout that. Be sure to take pics as you work on your projects and post them here. We love pics!

ChuckE and Steve work on tractors, they're close enough to the topic.

AvE is a great teacher. The forum should know about him. Matter of fact, the 106 has got a name. Cockford-Ollie, The right tool for the job. She ain't pretty, but you gotta pee with the one you got.

Update on the 106. Tested the coil to find dead short. Went to RK, picked up a gasket and screen for the fuel bowl, oil, plug, and air filter. Swung by NAPA and bought a coil, came home. Found the clutch safety switch to be in good working order. Pushed the pedal down, hit the key, and it cranked right over. Never thought a '69 model would have one of those. Hmmph. Sprayed it with a little carb cleaner, hit key. It started. Odd. Checked coil again, still bad. Checked a known good resistor. It's bad too. Threw meter in the trash. Cleaned out the tank, ran the carb screws in and out the same number of turns. Blew air through the fuel line and filled it with carb cleaner, hit the key. She fired right up and purred like a kitten!!! I put the tank back on, changed the sediment bowl gasket and screen, filled it up, fired it up, and pow! It's down to Pants 'n'at. Clutch works great, it goes, it stops, it squeaks, and the steering is pretty scary, but she's a running, driving machine!!! Changing out the fluids tomorrow, greasing her up, and taking a look at the steering, spindles, and wheel bearings.
