Bought CubCadet LT46KW Last summer. Kawasaki Twin. It has the dreaded Tuff Torque K46 sealed transmission. How many hours do I go on the transmission fluid? Uses synthetic multiweight engine oil, like Mobil 1? Not hydraulic fluid? I do know the transmission needs to be removed to change the...

I plugged the leak. It is holding. Been driving for close to 65 years and never plugged a tire before.

Horizontal compressor?

Whirlpool oven control panel stopped working. Not available new. $300 for used. Took it to https://www.fixyourboard.com/ in Austin TX. They take your old one and give you a new one. About $150. Had actual switches. I could feel them click when pressed on. I think they work w/all kinds of panels...

I bought a Whirlpool w/freezer on top last summer. No icemaker, no display panel, rotary controls.

I have opted for plugging the leak for now. I got Slime Delux Tire Plug Kit from Walmart today. Came with their "plug Bond". It is a white substance that is like a thick elmers glue. Use that or rubber cement that came with a tire patch kit? Will try "Tireseal" or "LiquiTube" later if I hear...

Where to buy?

Did that on the wheelbarrow years ago. No regrets.

Briggs & Stratton Tire Sealant. Just heard of it. Is it any good for riding lawnmower tire or just something that will foul things up like Slime does? Preferred method of fixing those flats?

The fan is not working. I checked the relay in the fuse box. It is OK. Ran 12v to the big slot the relay plugs into. Still no fan. Broke my finger so won't work on the car for another month. Will check the rest of the harness to the fan then. Engine runs at normal temperature w/out the fan...

I am home from the trip now. No airflow problems at condenser or cabin. I suspect the ECM. I have OBD Link reader but does not show anything about AC controls. I have had occasional throttle problem. Its not the pedal or the throttle body and its controller. I usually unplugged the harness...

I do not think they will be able to change the Schrader valves without loosing the charge, and then having to recharge the system. Some inner tubes have a cap that doubles as a Schrader valve tool. I have one on each of my bikes so I do not have to carry the tool with me.

Since compressor was replaced, system recharged about 8 years ago, I doubt it is overcharged or this problem would have exhibited itself years ago. Condenser and radiator cleaned last year while doing other things. Will verify fan even though coolant temperature is normal in hot weather. Time to...

I suspect the fan works as I was driving in mid 90F weather with no overheating. Will Hot wire the fan to see if it works as it is cool here. I suspect PCM. Will see if it is throwing a code. when I am done with my visit.

I do not see a "Condenser" fan. There is radiator fan on the back side of radiator. Not on right now as engine is cold and ambient air pressure is 64F. The condenser sits in front of the radiator. Don't see a separate "Condenser" fan. I always monitor the temperature gauge it it indicated normal...
