My 06 explorer transmission almost 100k is slipping and bucking when downshifting... SOMETIMES. Makes me wonder if I need to change the transmission fluid and check the screen/filter 🤔. Will this help? The old fluid is probably at 35000 miles. I want to get as many miles as I can. What sort of...

Okay sounds like a plan. I might overhaul it this winter.

Its a command, it has lots of power. I changed the plug at beginning of the season. The old plug didn't look oil fowled. No external leaks.

Yes it does.

My kohler engine in my kubota lawn tractor is burning oil. It's 20 yrs old this summer. Bought it new i run it about 6 or 7 hours a month. Just this season the burning started. It uses about 4 ozs per month, should I be concerned? Is the an oil equivalent to high mileage oil for small engines?

I'd go with the supertech h m 10/30. Thats good oil! Almost all the store brands are the same product per product. I just bought a gallon of kmart synthetic on clearance, made by Warren,

I have a fantastic portable 10 kw generator. Works and is very reliable for 7 yrs now. If I had it to do over again I would get a properly sized stand by like a kohler or briggs 17 to 20 kw. With the auto switching so it would be more convenient. Setting up the portable in the rain somehow seems...

Any store brand synthetic 10/30 or 10/40. (Exceeds any small engine requirement) And change according to hours suggested in the manual. Half the hours for dirty, dusty conditions. My 15 hp kohler is 50 hours standard and 25 hours dirty/dusty.

So I may be the dope in the room but, I have a Chinese Honda clone on a 10 kw generator. For 7 years now. I put StaBil in the gas. Run it as needed 3 to 4 times a yr. Drain the gas every year on May 15, change the oil on the same day and it stars up in seconds every time, in cold weather or hot...

Okay, I've never heard that as routine procedure. I too have a 22 yr old mower that is on its 5th battery never changing rectifier. I have not checked the old battery for a short. I'll do that. Thanks

After 7 years my battery went bad. One online supplier reccomended replacing the rectifier when changing the battery. I've never heard such a thing? It's $39, should I be concerned , what do you think?

I was ready for a new one so, I was still curious if I killed it or it just died a natural death. It was running great, then I heard the sound of crunching metal internally and it abruptly quit. Pulling the rope, there was zero resistance and I could pull it all the way out.

Okay so I have a leaf blower that calls for 40 to 1 ratio. I have 2 other tools that require 50 to 1. I have fuel mixed at 50 to 1. The leaf blower imploded today on 50 to 1. was the 50:1 not enough oil for the 40:1 leaf blower? I threw it out and bought a 50:1 leaf blower. Did I ruin the 40:1...

So its been about a month since I bought the echo. I finally had a a tree surgeon take down 2 big trees. I'm cutting them up for firewood. Now I know the homelite was okay. This echo almost made me cry it was so powerful. It started out of the box on the first pull... get me some tissues. This...

I'm sorry, I just had a moment of levity percolate up, I won't do it again... I still haven't found the hole saw. Not click bait... just humor. I can be an a$$ sometimes but I'm mostly harmless.

Ohh and some pesto pasta. Any help?

Anyone see my 1 1/4 inch hole saw. I just had it i need to make a bird house. Ahhh I'll make some meetballs.

Will you approach or exceed 100hrs? I start my honda clone every month for 1/2 hour, last year I ran about 15 hrs for power failure. Thats 21 hrs plus or minus 5 hrs per year. Oil should be replaced every 12 month. So yeah, buy the most expensive synthetic you can buy. ... just kidding, I...

I don't care what the manual says. Thats for people who turn in their car every 3 or 4 years. My 3 cars have 150k plus miles. I change every 30 k. Cheaper than a new transmission. Not just my opinion... FACT!
