Don't sell yourself short, wealth tax is coming.

Adjusted for inflation and IAW the the 1913 Revenue Act, you would pay a flat 1% on your first 88K, and additional 1% from 88K to 440K then an additional 1% up to 1.1Mil. Even the top rate was 7% and you have to make 11Mil for that. Where it is now is disgusting.

I'm kinda the opposite. 5-50 is what is recommended for my 13 GT500, but I run either 5-30 or 0-40 in it. Same thing for my 5.2 supercharged 2V motor.

Tap on the side of the bowl with the plastic end of a screwdriver. What you describe most commonly happens because the float is stuck in the down position

Dude has more money in concrete than the house.

I've got an FL400 on my 28HP Briggs commercial turf engine, my 17HP Kawasaki takes a different size(can't remember which). Just bought a Kohler 14KW backup gen, believe it has the 725cc engine, I need to find the alternative filter for it but honestly, that OEM filter can probably stay on there...

I would be worried about the Moly level if it is 700+ like above. The good news is that it takes a while to saturate the clutch frictions with it, it doesn't do immediate damage. I would drain it.

Yesterday'sTractor might be a decent place to look.

The sweet smell of success.

Some are waaay easier to do than others. Size of the tractor and amount of hydraulics generally being the key. I split my 49 Farmall C and that was super easy. My 68 John Deere 3020 went to the shop, that thing is to heavy for me to be messing with suspending halves of it. You can get hurt bad...

A true dry sump will have the oil dipstick in the oil tank. It will drain back to the sump over time, which is why you have to start it up first and let it idle for a few minutes before you check the oil level. Most will have a 2 sided oil pump, half of the pump moves oil from the sump to the...

Difference is well within statistical deviation.

I don't know this person...but...ummm, the size of the hands would seem to indicate you know something.
