Yep. Stratification is key.
Yes! I’ve followed your posts for a long time, man. You definitely get “it.” Can we clone you?
He sent that seal in blind with no remedy for the step. yep, that’s it. You’re correct… it will prolapse, rip, or lose the spring.
Don’t watch that guy unless you’re interested in what not to do.
There’s a step on the crankshaft on the pto side. The tape/sleeve covers it temporarily. You slide the seal over everything, send it in, then...

The flywheel side seal is pretty easy. Remove the key, grease/oil the seal lips and shaft, and put the optional sealant on the OD of the seal (I...
Yep, normal. Some new bearings do that. Looks good! As long as the case was hot and the bearings aren’t crooked, you’re good to go. Gently tap...

The transgenic (GMO) trees will work. The approval process is progressing slowly… but it’s still progressing. Yes to finding parent trees,...
Genetically modified… but they’re hoping to get parent trees established now so that pollination will occur with the GMO chestnut. Hybrids...

I sometimes match them up based on the ipl. Sometimes I don’t…
No worries. They should just be degrees of “hardness.”
