Aha, time to test the new tool so I hooked it up, he hit the key, and the engine fired right up. OK, good enough for me so I bought a second one and now there's one in each vehicle. At $57 you can't beat it. It can even charge your phone.

I've had good luck with the Noco brand. It will be more than $57, tho.

After 60+ years with a manual calipers I jumped off a cliff and went modern. Brand new digital calipers. Does the standard OD, ID, and depth and in three measurements, mm, inch, and fractions. For $20 on Amazon I figured I wasn't risking much but I've used it a few times now and I'm liking it! Every measurement I've checked has been spot on.

I have had a Makita for prolly 30 years no problems
Only replaced a couple of 357 batteries.

But for precision work I still rely on various mikes of approiate sizes.

I saw this on Amazon the other day and for $30 I decided to give it a go. 3 positions for the chains plus the screw adjustment for fine tuning engine balance and 1,500 lb capacity. Works great with the electric winch I installed last year.

I have the same one on my chain hoist Radio. It makes pulling engines and other heavy stuff a little easier. I got mine at Hazard Freight but your deal was better.

Won a little Smithy 1324 IMX Granite 3n1 machine from auction. Looking forward to picking it up next week and making/modding some parts.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
