I recently acquired a cub cadet zero turn with a Kawasaki fr691v. It has lived its whole life outside. It’s a 2012 model. It had been sitting for three years because it stopped moving according to the previous owner. Turns out the transmission belt was bad. After replacing the belt i drove it...

Factory service manual for my mower calls for this grease but i am a little confused. I have lithium based grease in my grease gun but everything i read online for lithium greases say they are a lithium soap grease. Is the service manual calling for a lithium soap grease with no soap? I know its...

I purchased two stens 120-738 oil filters to replace the hydrogear 52114 filters on my zero turn mower. I was surprised when i took the filters out of the package that they rattled. I thought that was weird as i have never had a filter rattle before. Upon closer inspection the filtering media...

I have a small jd riding mower with the 38in deck. The spring that keeps belt tension on the deck is getting thin in one spot where it hooks around from years of use. Would it be ok to put a spot of weld on the spring to build it back up. Considering I’m not welding on the actual portion that...

I havent been on bitog in a few months. I usually view it on my phone. I just hopped back in and was surprised to see ads constantly popping up on the bottom of the page and large ads as you scroll up and down through the topics. This site used to be so nice without all the popups. Now its...

Im working on a buddies 72 corvette wiper motor. The wiper motor works but it does not go back into the park position. Also there is this resistor on a part where some of the wires connect for changing the speed and I do not know where the resistor tail goes. It kind of just hangs out in the...

I am replacing the a/c compressor on my 1984 w123. I am at the stage of installing the new compressor. I have figured out i need the green sealing ring on the discharge size and the gold sealing ring on the suction side. The issue I am having is matching up my hose block to the hose blocks...

We have a large okuma lathe at my job. It has two turrets in it. We are having an issue with the sensor that allows the turret to index around. The sensor is the type where when you bring a piece of metal close it activates. It has 3 wires. Power, ground, signal. It gets 24v on the power wire...

I have a 40 year old alternator i am rebuilding. It has a capacitor on the back that says 2.2uf. I tried measuring it with my harbor freight dvom and it just reads 0.000. I tried a different dvom and it reads 210nf which would be .21uf. I want to be sure im checking it properly.

I have an r134a gauge set with the quick connect fittings that then screw down to open the ports. I am looking to recharge an older vehicle with r12 with the r12 ports. Everything i search for regarding hooking my gauge set up to r12 ports just shows the r12 to r134a retrofit adapters. I want to...

I went to the junkyard looking for a new battery for my truck. It’s supposed to take a group 59 battery. They didn’t have any so today i took out my battery to see what alternatives could fit. I measured the battery tray to see its dimensions. I thought it was weird when the battery tray only...

I was shopping around for rebuilt front calipers for my car. While they cost a little more than some of the cheaper options the napa adaptive one calipers looked good. They tout all the great stuff done such as making sure all the threads are good plus they are the only off the shelf caliper i...

Im doing a cheap refresh on my sbc 350. I am inspecting the cam and lifters that were in the engine to see if they could be reused. I know the lifters are supposed to have a crown and when you touch the two faces of two lifters together you should see light around the edges and they should rock...

I feel like this is pretty straightforward but i cannot seem to figure it out. I have a rectangle that is 330mm wide and i have metal rods that are 2.5mm in diameter. I want to lay the bars across so it looks like a grill grate or oven rack. I want to lay the 2.5mm bars evenly so there is an 8mm...

I am tired of the poor crimp spade terminals, Ring terminals etc. Either the terminals themselves are made from thin material or the generic crimping tools just kind of crush the terminals and make a poor crimp. I like the way that the deutsch connectors work with the hollow tube that the...

I have an older u1 battery for my riding mower. Its been sitting for a while and was reading 11.6v which is dead dead but should mean that the plates are still viable. I put it on the trickle charger for a few days and it reached full capacity. I took the charger off and let it sit for a few...

I have an early 2000s gas pressure washer with a bs flat head engine. Before it got cold out i tipped the unit forward to drain the pump and pulled it over a few times to clear out any water. Well i moved it out of the way the other day and couldn’t resist pulling the starter rope. To my...

Going to look at a 2004 honda civic today. Vin is JHMES95624S017800. You can pm me if you dont want to list it here. Thanks.

I bent my knuckle/spindle assembly on my press trying to remove a ball joint. I was able to unbend the knuckle using the press. Just pressure and no heat. I was wondering if this is an acceptable repair or if this is a no no and the knuckle should be replaced? One pic is with it bent and the...

Went to replace the lower ball joint on my car. I put it in the press and the joint didn’t budge but the whole spindle assembly bent instead. When i get a used assembly in i want to remove the old ball joint easily so as not to damage the new assembly. What are some good ways to relax the ball...
