    Green coolant good for 5 years now?

    Went ahead and got some green coolant for the boat and got that changed. Ended up having to drag the boat out of the garage over to the water hose after realizing it probably wasnt a good idea to let the anti freeze stay on the belts that it drained onto. Oh well..... could have done the tractor...

    What goes bad first in a rear differential?

    I'm at 247,000 on my 11.5aam rear end. This one has actually been maintained, so come rebuild time, do you always have to do a full rebuild or can you just put a couple new bearings in it and save a bunch of money? It's not giving me any issues. Makes me wonder how much longer I have before it...

    drum brakes adjusted, now one side hotter?

    Same thing happened on my newer 3rd generation dodge. Spent 250 bucks on new rotors and later find that people were throwing it back together with seized calipers. They needed new caliper boots. It didn't matter how much grease you placed on the slide pins. New boots and they moved easily with...

    drum brakes adjusted, now one side hotter?

    Yeah. I noticed that. If I stick it in neutral and back the truck up, you feel it get hung up in spots where the shoes make more contact.and it stops the truck. Are you saying tbe drums aren't typically perfectly round and this is normal?

    can u get a reliable used car for under $3k anymore?

    Isn't $3k the new $600? It wasn't but 15 years ago you could go buy a 20 year old econobox for that kind of money that still ran.

    Green coolant good for 5 years now?

    They still use green as factory fill. Both my polaris rzr and my Kubota tractor have basic green coolant. Same with my 350 drop in crate engine. Nobody is going to spend $20/gal when they can spend $10

    Does it really make financial sense to buy used over new?

    The skirt covering the wheels makes it an official house. I am offended 😭

    Wheel motor leaking on gravely mower.

    Gravely model 991088 Changed the fluid and filter about a month ago. Yesterday changed the belt for the blade and noticed it was pretty wet around the shaft side of the wheel motor. Doesnt seem like it's enough to leak on the ground yet though. Didn't notice anything unusual in the fluid a...
