I've noticed that all of us have been trying to help Lanse with his tractor.All of us have been offering suggestions reguarding the questions that he has ask.The answers and advice that he has received has been good.But i would like to make an observation and then make a suggestion that i feel will help Lanse a lot on his project.Since Lanse is a young fellow (around 14 or 15 i think)all this information may be a bit overwhelming.I know that when he asks a question he sometimes gets many different answers to it.And the answers are all good answers but,he may be getting more on him than he needs.All of us have good intentions but,too many answers may not be the correct answer.I personally think that an experienced person to work with him on his project wouldd help him more than anything.You know sort of a mentor.But since he may not have that option i'd like to make a suggestion that i feel would help.I'd like to challenge anyone who wants to help Lanse to come up the name to a publication that illustrates the procedures for overhauling an engine.Maybe a Haynes or Chilton manual or something along those lines.Any book showing the basic procedures will help him.From his posts i can tell that he seems mechanically inclined and i think if he had a book with the illustrations and instuction it would really help him.Lanse is doing a good job so far and i would like to help him as i'm sure everyone would.So come on guys lets rack our brains and come up with something for him.If i can find something i'll mail it to him free of charge.I just want to see him get his tractor going sucessfully.A book like this will show him the steps and the correct tools to repair his engine.It won't mean that he won't need advice from any of us,just that he could be a little more sure of what he is doing without someone to show him.I know that i have learned from manuals and books over the years and without them it would have been hard and very much more expensive to learn.So come on everyone just post a title and where to purchase it and maybe we can help him even more.I remember when i was a kid.And Lanse ,keep up the good work.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. 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
