I need to adjust the valves on a B. For the life of me I cannot loosen the nut on the screw. I don't want to reef on them to much. Any tips? ------------- Everything is impossible until someone does it! WD45-trip loader 1947 c w/woods belly mower, 1939 B, #3 sickle mower 1944 B, 2 1948 G's. Misc other equipment that my wife calls JUNK! |

Heat with propane torch to 500ºF, apply bees wax candle to threads, near nut. let cool, and tru tightening, then loosening, alternately. repeat, as necessary...
