    Not in my " religion" they don't make them like this anymore. A new one is over $7000. I can have this perfect for a lot less.

    Ring job on a kohler engine

    Thanks all. I am not confident opening up the engine and diagnosing all that etc. So I'll look In to a predator or other vertical shaft option. It looks like the 16 hp is no longer and option. There's an 18hp I'll make sure it fits, will that extra hp stress the rest of the machine?

    Leftover 20 50, how can i use it?

    I changed the hydrostatic drive oil 20 50 today and have 2.5 qts leftover. Can I use this for bar/chain oil on my chainsaw? How about mixing it with 5 20 and adding it to my mixed oil batch for my small engine... getting it to say 10 40 ish? I won't use this for its intended use for many years.

    OEM oiled filters vs aftermarket non-oilled filters?

    So even a cheap new filter is better than pushing it with an old filter. If $5 to $8 is too much to ensure from engine failure then maybe you need to rethink... I have a brother that felt that not changing the oil filter on a late model Volvo he bought new was a waste of money as long as he...

    Duromax generator battery rectifier, model 10000e

    So yeah, the battery bit the dust. I can't complain, 7 years that's good life. I did not replace the rectifier, just the battery. All good, beware of advice from someone who can profit from following their advice.
