Discount Tire bought Tire Rack, not the other way around,

That would be a no

Bosch is privately owned

What about small businesses that closed years ago because their intellectual property was stolen, proprietary goods were counterfeited and found out they couldn't compete fairly with companies paying $500 a month for labor?

Probably means they don't want to rebuild them anymore because there is so little demand for the rebuilt part making it more trouble than it is worth. Look for it to be dropped from the catalog sometime soon.

The LT46 I bought last week has a Kohler.

Poster Jethro Bob sure did "Cub Cadet is now owned my MTD its now junk with an expensive name."

MTD bought Cub Cadet in 1981. 44 years ago. The OP must mean ever since then.........

I paid $9.50 each for the Kohler filters with free shipping. A Rock Auto Wix for $8.27 would cost quite a bit more considering the RA shipping costs. The B & S you posted are $9 each and the John Deere is $8. Considering how long the oil change interval is on a lawn tractor, I'm not going...

I just bought a 2 pack of genuine Kohler filters for $19 on Amazon. I thought that was a good deal

I just bought a new Cub Cadet with the 22 hp Kohler & ordered a 2 pack of genuine Kohler filters for $19 on Amazon.

Just picked up a new riding mower a week ago. Started up my 15 year old Craftsman (Husqvarna) for the first time since winter and made just a couple passes before the B&S Twin started blowing out copious amounts of dense white smoke (& oil) and misfiring. Just a couple days earlier I spent 2...

Dont need a black light, just a pair of polarized sunglasses. It may not fit properly. The risk of getting a customer complaint is not worth the value gained. Most of the rejects occurred during the set up and getting the process dialed in. Once stable, there really aren't any rejects unless...

Glass Manufacturing process (short version) Be careful what you ask for lol Glass manufacturing is divided between float and fab plants. Float plants make the flat sheet glass out of sand and other raw materials, and can be used for cars, windows, etc. . The float process is amazing as the...

How?, the monogram (logo) would be different. They can't be removed and rebranded. First off that would only apply to aftermarket glass made by the same manufacturer of that same OE glass. Even in that case, once the auto manufacturer insisted on having their own branded monogram, that...

You didn't understand my post. The same plant with the same employees and engineers makes both OE and aftermarket glass for a variety of cars using the same processes. According to their website, Fuyao supplies OEM glass for GM, Ford, Honda, BMW, and Bentley. As far as the part about being the...

What makes you think it is thinner? The float glass is only made in standard specification thicknesses. I suppose it is possible they ran on the lower side of tolerance, but the next batch could be on the other side. By the way, do you know why the OEM glass supplier was selected ? They were...

I worked in QC for Pilkington for 18 years. Only left when 2009 recession hit and they closed the plant I worked at for good. The Fuyao plant near Dayton is first rate IMO, and as you might expect, I am pretty critical of auto glass. I have had Fuyao windshields in a couple cars (one very...

No, there is not another screen and brake fluid will not dissolve plastic. I spend several years working QC for a company that manufactured reservoirs.
