The Helicoil suggestion for my Moco worked. Mowed about twenty acres so far with no problem. That Helicoil kit ain't cheap though, cost me about $60 at NAPA. But I do have 5 more inserts, so hopefully something else will strip out, HaHa. Now can you suggest a way for me to stack all those bales in the barn without getting all sweaty? ;^)
 
For the future, there is another product that is identical (100% interchangeable actually) with Helicoils. They go by the brand name of Recoil and are about $20-$30/kit cheaper. They are available through Fastenal or a number of places on the web.
 
I asked at fastenal, and the girl said they didn't have it. It was on their website, I guess they didn't stock it, which doesn't seem logical for a place specializing in fasteners. There's a NAPA warehouse about 25 minutes away from me, and they had it in stock.
 
My experience with Fastenal has been so/so. Our local store has about every size SAE and metric in stock on the shelf....however, that about the only thing they have in stock. I did find the recoil kits on fastenal's website, but it took some looking.
poke here for Fastenal Recoil kits
 
Glad you got it to work okay. I saw the Recoil brand ones too at Fastenal but they used a different drill size and tap so I figured would have to buy another expensive kit too or their refills of inserts weren't compatible with Helicoil? Already have several Helicoil brand ones. I usually get refill inserts from wttool.com for Helicoil brand. Mcmaster.com has several other kinds of inserts too. Worse thing about any of them I found is sometimes the little insert tool breaks or wears out and you get to file it to fit inserts right again. On the bales you have to hire more help or build a taller barn a stack loader fits in lol.
 
Glad it worked out for you. As to this new question, that's a lot tougher. . . I used to think I had the answer, by getting my three kids together on the appointed day- but that hasn't worked for several years, not that they have families of their own.
 
Correction- that should have been "now" that they have families of their own. Which brings up another question- is there a way to edit one's own posts, after they have been posted?
