Young Steve, it's an interesting story. The provenance: Tony: Hi Jessie, what is that contraption in your office? Jessie: Oh, it's a dog crate. It's too small for our dog so I was going to yard sale it. I'm making a poster. Tony: Hm. (carefully measuring its dimensions) Can I buy it...

Pretty sure this link will get you into the right arena. Don't know how you could ever use 100 of these, but if you are new to the game,...maybe! (BTW, please verify your dimensions in the field and on Amazon, as I make no warrants or representations, expressed or implied!!! :ROFLMAO:)...

lol thx Dave. I’ll give you one - the bottom tray is clearly not OEM. It’s actually the bottom of a smaller dog crate/kennel! Fit perfectly.

My daily driver for approx. 27 years has been the Classic G 1000 Greenhead. Over Labor Day and this past weekend, I decided to give her a thorough disassembly, cleaning and a sprucing up. Wife wants to keep it, so no flip. Which means I can cut some corners! I thought I took before pictures...

A few years back my electrician buddy came over on a Saturday and we re-did a lot of my basement electrical. Along the way we removed a refrigerator freezer to the other side of the room, then put it back when we were done. A week or so later the basement smelled horrible, and we couldn't...

Who can tell me length and diameter of the standard Genesis X000 axle? Away from my shop and need to know…. Thx, signed lazy T bones.

Circled in Blue. #38 on Gen 5000 Schematic diagram. Weber CS (AI) said they dont know the name. -> Does anyone in Chicago area have one for sale (Regular or Stainless steel)? Thanks

Whatever you do, do not soak them for an extended period in a metal can. Ask me how I know.

Its hard to look at those painted lids after spending a blistering hot Chicago weekend with a bottle of Spring Green, a package of 0000, and too many straight edge razor blades to count, cleaning up a couple Gen 1000 lids - a greenie and a rare orange. Thinking of using the badges to make one...

RIP legendary Astronaut James Lovell.

It's pretty easy. Measure twice, cut once, flatten tube ends in a heavy vice, cut notches and drill holes for the crossover tube. 15 minutes. Or you can buy them on Etsy for $70+ per pair when this shop gets back from summer break -...

Checking back in on this: An overnight soak w PB Blaster did the trick! Valves turn like "buttah." No further need for a new manifold. Thanks everyone!

Reassuring advice, thanks guys! I’m all over trying this hack before hunting down a new manifold. Although tomorrow’s snowstorm/polar vortex doubleheader may slow me down. Wife won’t let me do this kind of work in the family room lol! Q: Is Gibb’s similar to PB Blaster, WD40 etc.? Penetrant?

Please share!
