OT, but a good place to ask: are there any good sources (online or off) for a "0-60 farm repair primer"?

I feel one of the great holes in my education is as a mechanic, and while I've picked up a bit along the way, I still stumble across things (like making gaskets) that are well-known, just not by me.

Ideally, I'm looking for breadth-not-depth, with an emphasis on practical applications and tips / tricks.

ChuckE2009 on YouTube is a great place to start. https://www.youtube.com/user/ChuckE2009

Fair warning: he does veer into politics from time to time, but while I don’t agree with his political viewpoints, this guy knows his way around a welder.

Maybe try field repair or emergency fix bibles. I always find I’m learning interesting, slick new techniques to solve mechanical problems by survival methods.

You might submit this as an "Ask HN". Though subreddits such as /r/homesteading or /r/permaculture might be more appropriate.
