    Why do we let China have anything to do with our FOOD and DRUGS?

    But at least someone is getting filthy rich.

    Cop in middle of road for speed trap?

    What stretch? My wife drives to campus from the Boone area every day and has seen more than her share camped out.

    Is there a difference between the Kawasaki FH500V and other similar size Kawi engines?

    Definitely lots of mufflers out there like that one, but this one will require the pipes to go down out of the ports, then immediately back off the back (preferably) as there are no holes or reliefs in the engine mounting deck to accommodate the exhaust. Like this one

    Is there a difference between the Kawasaki FH500V and other similar size Kawi engines?

    Hmmm.. That probably means custom exhaust then eh? They're both supposed to be 90* twins but the port locations are probably different?

    Is there a difference between the Kawasaki FH500V and other similar size Kawi engines?

    Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a used FH500V from a Deere rider to transplant on my zero turn. It'll require a muffler, so I'm on the hunt.. I found a KA-Muffler 43 that is listed to fit FR481V, FR541V, FR600V, FS481V, FS541V, FS600V, FX481V, FX541V, FX600V Series engines, but it (obviously)...

    Looks like my Hummingbirds have vamoosed.

    Ours are all but gone now. One or two stragglers enjoying the peace of otherwise unused feeders. I look for them to be completely gone within a couple of days.

    How quickly can a commercial plane land?

    Why is this? Just too much speed and energy to deal with in 10k feet? If you magically had another 5 or 10k feet under you, would that allow enough room to recover?

    How quickly can a commercial plane land?

    Astro - lets assume worst case - fire is licking up at your backside... Are you going to flump that big bird down where you can and get the heck out (and passengers if applicable, of course) or still shoot for something suitable. Or is what I ask simply so far from the realm of possible things...

    Input on "best" refrigerators on the market wanted

    Looking through one of the liquidators, I see a Cafe' brand - are they part of another group? Chinese made?

    Input on "best" refrigerators on the market wanted

    Hey GON, thanks for the idea on the liquidator - while we aren't quite ready yet, we will definitely be considering one! Browsing this morning showed that there could be considerable savings.

    Thoughts on the Kohler KS540?

    Yeah it's going to be a bit of a gamble. The machine has a weak hydro, junk seat and the fuel tank is bad so they ratchet strapped one to the top of the existing so I'm not sure how they were with maintenance. But it's $300 so...

    Thoughts on the Kohler KS540?

    @MParr - so I'm going to have to eat crow on this one... Before pulling the trigger on a new motor, I did peruse Marketplace and did in fact find that I could replace that mower for less money. A couple had similar hours but none were as small as this one (actually a perk, due to some super...

    DIY Firearms Lube : M1 Grease + M1 Oil ?

    I'm fairly certain that you would have seen it on the School of the American Rifle channel on YouTube. He has been building/repairing and teaching the AR platform for years.

    Input on "best" refrigerators on the market wanted

    I see a few remarks that don't favor the bottom freezer configuration - I'm curious what it is that makes it unappealing? To my lizard brain it would seem that you'd be in the fridge more often, so potentially less stooping over for things that would normally be at the bottom? I like the idea...

    Input on "best" refrigerators on the market wanted

    Hi all, we are currently embroiled in a fairly serious home reno and are looking to replace the appliances in the kitchen. We've been browsing the box stores and found (too) many options. I know refrigerators aren't what they used to be as they simply don't last like our current almost 30 year...

    Kawasaki 35 HP oil

    It's likely not because it's better, it's because they're cheap :ROFLMAO: That's not saying that syn is better for your application or that they're wrong for selecting a conventional or syn blend oil either.. Syns tend to hold up better over long drain intervals and are better for some...

    Thoughts on the Kohler KS540?

    Yeppers - I had overlooked them in my search until you showed me that Honda. My main problem is that there are too many cool ways to spend my money... Vanguards, GX Hondas and Kawasakis... Honestly I want one of each 😂
