    SIG Sauer P320 self discharges

    It was inevitable that legal/liability concerns would start having an impact. My local gun club just emailed all members letting us know the Sig 320 is banned from club property.

    2025 Honda Pilot

    I think you would be pleased with the Pilot. I bought a 2025 Trailsport earlier this year after researching and looking at all the comps. I wanted AWD and some off-road ability as I have 80 acres with rutted roads and trails. Have taken it on a long trip, as well. No issues or complaints with...

    storing a powersports AGM battery

    I have a couple extra powersports AGM batteries for our jetskis and 4wheelers. I like to keep them for the unexpected dead batteries that come up on these machines. I generally intermittently put them on a charger. Would it also help to keep them stored in a refrigerator vs just in my garage on...

    Honda gear oil Dual Pump Fluid II substitute ?

    I'm not aware of any substitute. I bought a new Pilot a few months ago and researched the heck out of it and all the maintenance points. After reading forums, oil company websites, etc. no indication of anyone having or recommending a substitute. If you are going to drain and fill yourself, just...

    2010 Nissan Cube CVT maintenance

    I'm the maintenance man for my daughter's 2010 Cube. She absolutely loves that little car and would probably keep it forever. Frequent spill and fills with Valvoline CVT fluid and occasional screen change and it still functions great. The engine has been problem free

    Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail Initial Impressions

    I have about 7000 mi on them now. No complaints. Still quiet, balanced well, excellent in the wet/rain and minimal wear I can note so far. Time will tell how they age, but I would certainly recommend them. They seem to be getting good reviews at Tirerack, too.

    Best 18 bar / chain combo for 545 Mark ii

    I have 2 545 Mk2s. My opinion, the 18 inch bar with the .325 Xcut chain is about ideal. If you go 3/8, I would do the .050 and yes you will need to change bar and drive sprocket

    I own 3 5 series Husqvarnas. I don't hear anything too unusual in either video

    Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail Initial Impressions

    Your experience has been similar to mine. I have about 6-7k miles on a set on my Commander. So far, well-pleased. Time will tell how they age, but so far are working out well. They replaced a set of Conti All-Terrains, which were excellent and lasted me over 55k miles, compared to prior tires...

    Tires for GMC Canyon

    Seems like a good price for an excellent tire. They are quiet, excellent in the wet and longlasting

    Chainsaw Purchase

    A Husqvarna 435 is fine for the limbing and small trees. For the bigger a minimum Husqvarna would be a 550XP Mk 2, or for Echo, a 620 which is a great, torquey pro saw which can run a 24 in bar if needed

    4runner needs new tires, Cooper tires any good?

    I have the cooper Road and Trail AT on my Jeep Commander now. I have been pleased so far. They replaced Continental ATs that were excellent on-road all-terrains. The Coopers are quiet, have excellent wet traction and are good looking if you want a little more "off road" look than the Michelins

    Well, I guess that is an option!

    Thinking of trying clean up/porting on cheap chainsaw

    So I have getting into chainsaws over the past few years. I have property with a lot of hardwood, and have frequent treefalls from rain, wind, ice and crappy root systems in this Georgia clay. I have muffler modded and tuned all my saws and generally like piddling to try to tweak performance...

    Advice on getting wheel off lawn tractor axle

    Thanks for that thought. I actually did take the key from the other side and put it in the keyway and tapped it, then sprayed in a bunch of penetrating oil. That didn't work, either. Didn't try hanging the transaxle though!

    Advice on getting wheel off lawn tractor axle

    Update on getting the wheel off. Tried a puller with holed drilled through wheel. No go. Tried heat at the hub. No go. Bought angle grinder with cutoff disc and piecemealed the darn wheel after cutting old tire off wheel. The axle was completely, circumferentially rusted where the hub was...

    Advice on getting wheel off lawn tractor axle

    Thanks for the input! Yes, I won't hammer on it anymore. Good point! Looks like I may try heating it or seeing if I can get some type of puller to work.

    Advice on getting wheel off lawn tractor axle

    I bought 2 new rear tires for my old John Deere ( I think it is an LA 110) and the first wheel came off easily after removing dust boot, C-clip and washer. Unfortunately, the other will not budge. Have tried 2 different penetrating oils and have tried hammering with a large dowel to the back of...

    78 XS750 with excessive oil burning and lower compression in center cyl.

    Nice bike! I love the late 70s Yamaha 750s and 1100s. My dad had an XSEleven Special. Maybe if you put the front wheel up on an elevated ramp it would make the cylinders vertical?
