    Thinking about adding drain plugs to K46 hydro.

    I've got about 75 hours on my Husqvarna, equipped with the "Dreaded K46 Transmission".I'm aware that regular oil changes in these units is a,good way to make them more reliable and longer lasting. Then, I find out that some bean counter at Husqvarna decided to,save a few cents per unit by...

    The Aveo saga continues...

    The Aveo was built by Daewoo Motor Company, and GM as a joint venture. Never had an Aveo, but I had a 2002 Daewoo Lanos, bought new. Kept the car for over 100K miles, and besides normal maintainence, the car ran like a top the whole time I owned it. A timing belt went in, along with a water pump...

    A question about Troy Bilt 2410 auger gear lubricant

    I recently got a Troy Bilt 2410 snowblower. 179cc OHV motor. It is in really good shape. I did a complete maintenance on it before the snow came, even touched up the paint. I have a question about the auger gearbox. It's the box with the little rubber plug on top. Is there a way to check the...

    LED headlight for my snowblower.

    Got a pair of these lights off Amazon a few days ago. One is stowed away in the back of my car. The other one wound up being fitted to my snowblower. They were about $25/pair, and run on 4 AA batteries, or 2 18650 rechargable cells. USB charging, and there is a outlet to charge my phone. High...

    Charge Voltage

    I had a little digital voltmeter, so I put it on my Husqvarna tractor. I'm getting almost 17 volts after the engine is running a while. I'm well connected to a switched hot wire and a good ground. Any opinions on if this is too high? I know the meter is accurate. (The picture was taken right...

    Searching for a classic/vintage bike. Help me pick one

    I'd give a lot to get a mid 60s Honda Super Hawk 305. Had a 1973 Yamaha RD350. Shoulda kept that one too. I presently have a 1985 Yamaha Vmax. Bought that one new. I guess I got my antique bike the hard way.. Bought it new and waited.

    Best deal on canned premix fuel?

    Lucky we can get E0 here in NY. I only have one 2-stroke, a Husqvarna chain saw, after getting a 4 cycle trimmer and selling my Harbor Freight generator. I just mixed a healthy shot of oil to half a gallon of E0. Seems to run fine, even after a year of sitting.

    Solid tires on front of an Ariens rear engine rider.

    Anyone have any ideas on how they'd work, or have tried it? I have a chance to pick up an old 8hp machine, but both front tires are dry rotted.. If someone did it, what kind of tires did you use?

    Need Jacks-Returned recalled HF last week.

    I was watching a show on TV where they were lifting an 8 ton lid off a mummy's tomb. The guy was laying under the lid looking into the tomb. It was being held up with jackstands and a strap. Hope they weren't HF jackstands. The Egyptians probably don't have a Harbor Freight store in Cairo, so I...

    Briggs decompression.

    You've heard it before.. low hour Intek single cylinder stops at TDC. Checked battery, valve adjustment - no start. I'd seen a video about removing the air filter and putting my hand over the intake to stop air from getting into the cylinder. No better.. Then I got the idea to turn the engine...
