    Any issues pulling a 400-500lb roller with my zero turn?

    I dont think I would want to risk a $5000+ zero turn to do something it was not designed to do. I would rent or borrow a garden tractor. It couldnt cost more than even a minor repair to the zero turn.

    Payment type for IRS personal return

    Plenty of people cant afford the charges for not keeping min balances in checking accts or working for a business that will do direct deposit. If you ever worked in the city in poorer areas, paycheck cashing stores are a very big business. And as far as I know there are no laws on the books...

    What does a chirpy rear diff sound like?

    Are you sure its the Diff. On a rough road or in turns I would say maybe you need Friction modifier but on smooth roads I would be checking the brake shields to be sure they were not rubbing.

    Would you vacation in Europe this year?

    Yes I would but just like here avoid talking politics and religion and learn a few words of the language. It goes a long way to say I am trying vs talking louder in english thinking it will help them understand.

    Solution to sulfur-bacteria in well water?

    I guess it depends on the level of bacteria but I had this problem when I moved into my house that had set for 2 years unoccupied. I bleached my well. 2 gal of household bleach diluted in a 5 gallon bucket and poured down the sides of the casing. Let it sit for 2 hours then ran the water at all...

    Engine auto start/stop feature ending soon.

    It was a silly mandatory option considering virtually every car with it also has remote start. So all the gas you save by stopping at a stop sign you burn up in your driveway.

    Car in storage; when to change oil?

    You wont get much condensation in the engine from just sitting unless your storing it outside under a waterproof tarp but not open to air in a garage. The best thing you can do is either change it before storage or make your last trip a LONG one to get the engine hot and keep it there long...

    Top end clatter noise

    Do you have a mechanics stethoscope, You might be able to isolate exactly where the tap is. It sounds like valves but it could be chain tension. Does it go away when warm or get worse. In this motor the tap seems to be in perfect sync with the exhaust note not rattling.

    Car stalling coming to a stop

    This may be a crap shoot but it does not cost anything to try. My 2012 Ford Fiesta was acting the same way but it would happen at stop lights every once in a while and only after it was at operating temp. It was a dirty throttle body.
