    Used Riding Lawnmower - Which Brand and Model

    You don't say anything about your age but you would enjoy a 42"-48" zero turn. Like was mentioned above, a lower end model with serviceable transmissions would serve you well. Mowing with a zero turn is really worth the extra cost.

    Any logic to changing the oil before storage?

    Change it to remove any corrosive contaminates.

    I drove with 2 litres below the minimum with a diesel car, what now...

    Unless I am looking at it wrong the place the green arrows are indicating would tell me it was slightly over full.

    Have you ever had a fuel issue from a gas station?

    Yes, after Hurricane Camille. Water contaminated fuel.

    Right hydro on zero turn weaker Maybe?

    How are you determining weaker? Does the machine have steering dampers? I have seen mowers with different feeling steering levers and it was the difference in the dampers. When new my mower had slightly different feel between lt. and rt, steering. After 14 years I replaced each damper and have...

    Manufactures Response to States Gasoline Power Equipment Bans

    Some of the bans go too far. A guy who owns property in a rural area with the nearest neighbor 1/4 mile away and a yard too large to mow in one charge should be able to buy any gas powered tool he needs. Geography plays a part. Some areas have banned gas generators. Might work until the...

    Southern Home Indoc

    Welcome to the south. You are probably right that you are going to see many insects. I live in the deep south and use "Ortho Home Defense" to control insects around and in my house. It is available at Ace Hardware. You will just have to get used to "Love Bugs". They swarm twice a year and are a...

    Amsoil zero turn lube

    Is the Amsoil Zero Turn Hydrostatic Transmission Fluid actually better than the manufacturer recommended 20W-50 motor oil or is it just re-labeled Amsoil synthetic 20W-50 motor oil?

    bought used Armada; had makeshift roof rack basket

    Did you not know the whole world is held together with velcro, duct tape and zip ties? If you removed all of them from my car and house they would all fall apart. Seriously, we all probably miss use those things and are just lucky we do not hurt something.

    Didn't buy new car

    I too have been thinking about new vehicles. At my age it would be my last vehicle. I have a 15 year old truck that has been 100% reliable and runs like a top. So far I have not seen anything that really appeals to me. I too balk at all the electronic gizmos.

    IH Cadet - greasable spindles for my 42" mower deck

    I guess I am thick headed bur I fail to see how putting a grease fitting on a spindle that has sealed bearings is supposed to work. I replaced the 14 year old spindle bearings on my mower last year. Only one bearing had a slightly rough feeling when you rotated it. The other three were still...

    Boroscoped the cylinders on my 2014 Acura RLX today

    I do not see anything to get worried about. Remember that the borescope magnifies everything and that can be a bad thing.

    Oil Pump Control Solenoid (Nissan Juke)

    Just ignore it if it is not causing any physical damage. Kind of like the headlight indicator bulb on my Frontier. It simply tells you if the lights are on. If they are on high beam the blue indicator light comes on. The truck will beep at you if you try to leave the lights on when you remove...

    How in the heck do you get in the car to move it from that parking slot?
