How many of you guys watch U-Tube Videos to learn how to do things? I have used it for years to figure out how to fix things on my newer cars and home appliances. Repairs that are simple to do but require some knowledge that you just don't have. I added it up and over the past couple of months I have save over $1000 doing repairs I just couldn't do without someone first showing me how. On average I fix my cars for about 25% of taking them into the dealer. This in itself allows me to keep my old cars running longer. Having 10 to 15 year old cars doesn't work out too well if you have to pay someone to do repairs. Here are some examples.
My washing machine was having a problem and it is about 15 years old. Thinking time to just buy a new one but thought why don't I see what is on U-Tube for the machine. Within about 15 minutes I new what was wrong and how to fix it. $10 in parts latter the machine is back in action. The repair took 15 minutes to do. So U-Tube save me the price of a new washing machine or at least put it off for a few years. I fixed my dryer a couple years ago. Similar thing. Cheap fix and easy to do.
I had to replace the rear door locks on my car. I new what was wrong but could not figure out how to get the thing apart. Watched a video and took it apart. I spent about 3 hours fixing the door locks. Figured that save me at least $300 over the dealer.
Did a front wheel hub/bearing on my car. Similar thing saved $200 easy.
I always hear on this sight we are loosing old skills. So make a U-Tube video on how to fix a magneto and the information will be passed on for decades.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
