    Help Diagnosing Sound

    I put the spare tire on, but still made same sound. I took brake caliper off and didn't have to move piston. I was just looking for anything that was sticking or uneven wear - cause that is all I'm cable of, just a weekend mechanic. Could it be the rotor wearing in to the bracket...see pic...

    Spark Plug Help

    I have a ride on Husqvarna and I would like to change the plug. I don't have the manual and other identifying parts are painted over. Does it matter what type of plug I get and if so, how can I get the correct one?

    Off Brand Gas

    Is it worth it to pay a little more for a brand name gas as opposed to "Sav On Gas"? Do the Mobil/Shell etc. add extra additives that would make it worth the extra few cents?

    Cleaned Dishwasher...

    Stainless and no rinse aid. I just feel like by the time you prewash in the sink, then put them in the dishwasher, I could be done with it all and waste of water. My two cents. Again, 2 adults and 4 kids and 4 years later...I guess.
