File it, sand it to a near fit, even if you think you went to far, then slather the business end with resorcinol glue. Work slowly, give the resorcinol five minutes to seep into the hardwood. Spread the resorcinol liberally inside the head of the mall. Likewise coat the wooden wedge(s). Start the head on the handle, slam the butt end down hard vertically on something like an anvil. The resorcinol is slippery and will help you seat the head. Tap the wooden wedge in smartly. If you have any gaps between the handle and the head, place the handle in a vice or stand it upright, and put a dollop of the remaining resorcinol right on top of the wedge and handle to work its way down. Throw the metal wedge in the trash(in my opinion). Let the mall set for a day, maybe two. Patience is a virtue. THEN see if you can bang that head loose. Resorcinol glue used to be more common, a hardware store item. It was then and is now somewhat pricey. Depending where you live, it might not be available anymore, since the advent of tube glues like liquid nails. Nonetheless, it"s on the Internet, RPM Industries Inc. is the parent company. Resorcinol is known as a marine glue. It is a two part mix, comes in two cans, one can has liquid, the other has powder. And, it is the red stuff that is between the plys in plywood. Good luck with your mall. Best Regards, CharlieNJ

Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
