I was given a sealed never opened 5 gallon pail of Mobil Delvac SHC 524. I researched it for possible use in my Scag STHM which has a Sunstrand pump 15-2180 CW and white wheel motors Model HB12110300. I found lots of info but it’s difficult to understand. The recommended fluids are cheap &...

I’m not fond of K&N but now that it is seasoned (used & dirty) its ability to filter contaminates has improved at the expense of reduced air flow. If your vehicle performance has not suffered leave it in. Cleaning it will increase its ability to flow more cfm while allowing more contaminants to...

2002 BMW GS 1150 My son has a 1974 Ducati 750 Sport Not running

1974 Ducati 750GT bought new.

My experience with new or rebuilt is that they are assembled with very little lubricant. I always pull the boot back & fill with brake compatible lubricant to prevent corrosion. This will virtually eliminate stuck calipers. I also remove bleeder & lube that also then blow brake fluid out of...

A dab of Moly grease. Ducati996

If you haven’t repaired your pump yet check the magnets they may be loose in housing. I just repaired mine by re-gluing the magnets in place.

I have an old craftsman SS12 garden tractor with the Tecumseh HH120. This thing is a beast easily towing my log splitter that’s 1000 lbs. I recently had to change the transmission drive belt & thought while I’m here I’ll change the engine oil & grease it. When I finished I recorded the service &...

I’ve read/heard that blades should be blunt not sharp. Here are my thoughts; 1) Is there engineering data to support this opinion? 2) If we sharpen a blade to a sharp edge like a knife it will blunt (round over) rather quickly and resemble the blunt edge which the (experts) prefer. During this...

Everything I buy new gets an early oil change or two depending on how the oil looks when it’s drained. If I can see metallic swirls in oil it gets changed again soon. It’s only new once! 90cummins

30 microns is just over 1/1000 of an inch, .001182 inches to be precise. I wouldn’t want that running around in my oil! I wouldn’t give out proprietary information if sales were good. The truth could hurt the bottom line!! 90cummins

I usually service my brakes yearly meaning I remove calipers & pads, lubricate pins & clean rust buildup on inside & outer rim of rotor and push the caliper pistons back into the calipers. After everything is back together I remove as much fluid from the master cylinder as possible & refill...

I’ve been sharpening my blades for 50+ Years and replace them when they are very worn down or have cracks. I don’t worry about nicks & my grass doesn’t seem to mind either. The edges of a newly sharpened blade will blunt over during use so please explain why they should be sharpened to a blunt...

This is my rust free 1990 Dodge W350 CTD 4X4 with NV4500 transmission & 3.07 gears. 90cummins

I have a 1990 Dodge w350 diesel (irrelevant) that I have been storing in my auto shop on a 4 point lift uncovered during the winter. Every spring when I hose it off it looks like mud!! I gave it a proper detailing this summer by washing then using ironX decontamination product followed by clay...

I always add a fro of oil to threads & taper seat then run them down lightly with impact. I then torque to spec or slightly less because of lubricant & I always make sure the nuts actually move & tighten to spec. Putting a torque wrench on a nut & hearing it click without turning is not...

I bought the same machine a couple years ago and had the same problem. After 3 years I finally found where the very small leak was coming from. After it sat the winter in my conex when I checked it prior to starting the coolant was low and a spot was on the floor. I put mine on an auto lift to...

When I bought my 2016 Volvo XC60 Pennzoil Ultra was the only oil I could find that had the A5/B5 approval. The engine is 2.0 liters and is rated at 300 hp & 300 lb/ft torque being turbo charged and super charged. I changed the oil and embarked on a cross country trip pulling a small v nose...
