    Got a wood chipper

    I have tons of yard waste from my trees and bushes and high weeds. I use to burn this but the last three years have been making piles of the stuff on my collapsing pond bank. I've been lucky as the ash trees are all dying and the local tree services will gladly dump their chips usually as...

    Lowering antenna tower

    I have a 50 ft tripod with 3 ft base antenna tower I want to lower, paint and then put a new antenna on. Currently does not have one. Last time back in the day I could lower it but had trouble raising it. What I have is a 120v 1000 lb hoist. The problem is the angle I was using as it was too...

    Gubios

    My Gen Coupe has these Guibos or rubber flex disc as a driveshaft coupling. One on each end.. The rear seems to go first. This is the latest one under discussion about vibration when they let up on the gas. Worst I've ever seen. Usually you get some cracks that are hard to see. They have...

    Highway tax refunds

    As the gas taxes go up and the gas i use for the OPE becomes more as I drive less, I looked into getting a state tax refund on the gas I use. Seems all I have to do in Illinois is keep track of what I buy and how it's used. Pretty simple as the mower gas I always fill up separate from the...

    Vapor cannister reloading

    I'm thinking my vapor cannister is fouled from being too old, nearing 200k miles. I get a rich mix after I refill with fuel. It takes a few minutes to clear before it starts running better. Just changed the purge valve which is the usual suspect and it did fix the flooded start condition...

    Oil cooler and Gauges on JD Z320m

    I took the gauges and oil cooler off the old JD F510 and transferred over to the new JD Z320m mower. It has a v twin Kawasaki 21.5 hp FR651V. Last summer I was consistently getting oil temps around 250F after a hour and a half mow in 80-90F temps. This was measured via the fill tube...

    0w20 in a JD F510 with Kawasaki PA540V 17 hp ?

    My F510 has been retired to trailer hauling mostly anymore. And used a lot under 50F. It never really gets warmed up though as it's mostly start and go, then turn off. I do let it run for the first 15 minutes or so when it's cold out. But it's always been a slow cranker when cold. I use to...

    OE alternators

    I've never had as good of performance from any rebuild or 'new' alternators. They work but not as good as OE. So I bought a used OE one with 66k miles for my Genesis Coupe off eBay.. Mine currently has +135k miles and works like a charm. I think I'll but a new brush pack in.

    Hyundai Smart Key "Not Detected"

    Recently my Genies Coupe Smart Key quit working. Good battery at 3.3v. But would do nothing and I had to use the fob holder to start the car. It seems to be a fairly common issue as the cars get older and the parts swapping then starts wit antennas and receivers. Turns out mine and others...

    Adding a gas level gauge

    Anyone done this? I pine for my old JD F510 low fuel level light. Hate running out of gas a quarter mile away. So they make universal sender units with gauges. Look pretty simple to install and under $40US. Here's an example...

    Battery disconnect switch

    Who's got experience with a good one. I've had two different kinds and they will give intermittent service after a year or so. The battery is in the trunk so i would like a disconnect under the hood. First two were the Harbor Freight jobs, the one I have now a different design. Should just go...

    Rejuvenating old hoses

    I've had really good luck rejuvenating old hardened hoses that are exposed to oil. PCV hoses and such. Gaskets and any other synthetic rubber parts that have been hardened over time from engine use. As long as they are not compromised with cracks. I soak in lacquer thinner for a while until...

    It finally died JD F510

    My trusty bought new in 1999 JD F510 finally bit the dust. Seems it lost compression and there is some sort of Automatic Decompression Valve located in the crankcase area. Worked it too hard last year moving all the rip rap and shredded tree wood I had. Still ran good up to that point but it...

    Greenworks warranty

    Beware as they only warrant what is bought from Greenworks. No warranty on items sold by a 3rd party I was told today. And to file a warranty claim the only way is over the phone. I was on hold over 4 hours today on two calls. My item was the 8" pole chain saw. Motor burnt up. Had it about two...
