Maybe South Americans would, like in some 3rd world hot place. North Americans would probably run a euro spec 0/5w30/40

and that jug is like 70 bucks unless I misunderstood the exchange rate

35% total tip? nope and I'm SURE the tip amounts are based on the "all taxes and fees included" price.

Your era Vanguard was made in Japan by either Daihatsu or Mitsubishi. They are made in the US now. They are good engines, likely to outlive you so long as you stay on top of the air filter maintenance.

I have the M18 version of that for airing back up after beach cruising. a single 5 Ah battery will take four 33x12.50 tires from 15 to 50psi each but there won't be much juice left in it and it ain't fast either.

You mean like how Dr. Zahi Hawass swears the Egyptians built the pyramids?

Looks like you have one hydrogear pump and one Parker pump? Based on what you put above for part numbers, the pumps should be Parker. Maybe one parker was replaced but that would be very unusual as the rarely fail. I have a 2000 model Wright Stander that has Parker pumps and it has 1700 hours on...

Get a soil test done, if that is even soil.

Yeah, that is correct in a nutshell. A divorced pump/motor design will typically have a single larger fluid res and a single hydraulic filter, whereas the ZT3400/4400 combined units hold all of their fluid internally and have a spin on filter on each unit (they will have very small expansion...

I think the decks are not the same. Ferris had the ICD deck back then that has the sloped nose on the front and IDT the simplicity deck is like that.

Time to trade that thing in with that Iron level.

They don't produce power without a load. I'm sure the NEC will work out the details of the hookup, maybe an auto transfer like backup generators have?

Mine is a 2014 and has 265(ish) hours on it. I cut 11 acres with it at a property that we only go to every other weekend, have owned it since new. It is a 61" deck as well. They cut grass so fast that the hours don't rack up on them in a residential use scenario. Mine has only ever been used to...

So you have divorced pumps and wheel motors, looks like hydro-gear motors with Parker pumps...which is a good combo.

The body and deck look nearly identical to my 2014 Ferris. You have the Vangaurd engine with an oil cooler, just run a euro 0-40, 10-30, 10-40 etc. it doesn't need a straight weight oil. I would change the oil and filter on the hydro drives, your probably have ZT3400s like me, be sure you get...
