As I've gotten older I've realized that there are certain situations where going to the dealership for a real part is necessary. It usually just means doing it once as opposed to doing it again in six months and then finding out the part that should have worked fine also wrecked what was still a good part of the machine.
I have a friend and his father whom are willing to rig up anything. They always have the best of intentions but are stuck thinking that corn picker they shoved in the tree row 15 years ago stil only needs that one chain. They have a few acres but fired their renter so they are going to "farm".
I was talking with them yesterday and his father was talking about a bearing that had gone out on his disk. This would be the same disk that he welded a shattered disk blade on last week (those may not be cheap but I just keep a couple on hand). Well, they still make that roller bearing but it is $200. He found that if he cut 17 pieces of a 7/16 bolt they fit in there. I'm as frugal as the next guy, but sawing 17 pieces of bolt would have just undone me. I believe I would have just replaced the beating grumbling all the way.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
