I'll revisit all of this when I get back on my feet to do things. 1 yr healing time for disc replacement, which means I can't cut grass until 8-26. In the meantime, it's pain meds, then physical therapy for 3 months ( I hate P.T. ...painful as a S.O.B. ! ). By then cutting season is over, and...

2- 8hp Briggs push mowers. Old Flathead engines. Spill and fill 10W40 every 3 cuts. Sometimes add a dash Lucas oil stabilizer or STP blue glue because of piston rod raps ( something different from a Briggs engine. They were trash picked anyway,,,still going,,for now )

13' Honda CRV AVD EXL. Installed a " Real" Magnefine" in line filter in 2020. Changed the OEM rock catcher external filter same time. What a bear to get to ! 614,000 mi. Every OCI, I dump 3 qts of Honda DW-1 and clean magnet, add new crush washer. OCI intervals between 3k-4k. Change the...

When other " brand names" are not on sale, I go with Supertech. My mentor told me as a kid " motor oil is motor oil, just depends on the frequency of changing it " All synthetics are made from natural gas anyway. How much difference can their be ?. Ok, for racing purposes their has to be a...

I agree. Oils came from the ground, and back to the ground they go. Dump mine in a drain I installed that ends way in the rear of my yard, near a utility easement that nobody ever goes into. Piping down about 5' on a slope. That's what Grampa told me to do ( not that he's right ) :)

Off topic, may be wasting my money. No matter what engine is in the vehicle, 3k is my max. I use quality oil and filters. The oil comes out NASTY every time. Engines run great though. 128k , 126k , 614k

6-24 / 20 RESA Kohler standby generator / status: overdue / Recent back surgery gonna keep it that way for a few more months, till after physical therapy. Currently in 5W20 synthetic with OE filter. I'll get to it by early fall.

Very happy for you :)....But, what are the odds of that happening ?????....I thought I had bad luck. You took the cake on this one :)

Good idea !!!! This stupid rider uses more spindles than gas. I will look into it. No wonder the greasable ones weren't lasting much longer. The problem lies in the cheap Chinese bearings !!! I will be looking into it. This year I got a reprieve from lawn care. Had back surgery in mid June...

Northeastern Exhausts are the BOMB !!!!!! Unsurpassed quality. A really good small business. Hope they stay around a long time.

No trips anywhere for us 3 dummies. ( wife, 13yr old daughter, myself ). We do what we can for our daughter in the summer, ( camps & what not ). I'm retired from local utility ( 36yrs). Would have stayed, but my pension got capped. No sense working . Pension gets taxed in NY. & federal tax...

All I can say is that karma is a bit-h !!!!!!!! I'm retired, get to just lolly gag around the house, and putz around with stuff. Being that she's younger than me, she still has to get up early and GO TO WORK in her 06' Camry Le. I win. LOL :)

Get rid of the oil ASAP, and see if it happens again. If it does, go see a doctor. You really shouldn't have that much used motor oil layin around not sealed. Motor oil gets diluted with all sorts of things, ( gasoline, hydrocarbons, etc. ) Get rid of it. Not healthy for you, and can be a fire...

Don't get me started. ALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS TOO !!!!!!! ( ECM/ VCM, whatever the stupid dash light said, I deleted it )....And the lower control arms compliance bushings were leaking ( but they were under warranty/ re-call ) RR shock leaking at 10k ( Also under warranty ) Not the point. Who...

Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. You can't win

My wife' early midlife crisis was when we had our 1 and only kid. That was 2013. " I WANT A HONDA PILOT EXL, RED w BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR ! " WAAAAHHHH !!!! So, 48k later, we got it. Brand new. BIGGEST mistake of our lives. Drank gas, hard to park, tranny blew at 70k, lower control arms...

I put 3 Walker California Carb Compliant Cats in my 13' Pilot @ 100k. A lot cheaper than OEM, and they fit like a glove. Being in NY, I can't play games with non-carb complaint Cats........ Personally, I believe that stupid " ECM" system Honda uses to shut down cylinders on the highway to save...

I'm not " flooring" an 03" Toyota Solara / 2AZ-FE 4cyl / auto trans with 128K on the ODO. Who knows what will break @ 4-5k RPM's. I drive her nice & easy. I get high beamed, honked at, flipped off, they go around me.......& meet them all at the next red light. HaHaHa. I do get her up to...

OK, I see it now. They are similiar to Irwin's Vic Grip, But I;m gonna get a pair anyway !!!!!! :) ( Even though I can't close the lid on my tool chest anymore,,,,what's one more tool gonna make a difference to that....LOL )

Yep, That was them, you jogged my memory !!!!!! Thanks:) Great little company. Like you said, sometimes you gotta dig :) I like the fact that their small business USA too ! :)
