    New used mower added to the fleet

    I was on the hunt for a cheap used mower to give to our daughter - shes out of town and has a couple mowers that really aren't ideal.. a Walmart cheapy that doesn't run and a fancy self propelled Lawn Boy that needs some TLC and probably a different owner 😂 I went to the local OPE dealer and...

    Spark plug recommendation for aluminum headed big block ford

    I have a customer that has a 514 Ford with aluminum heads and mild cam/compression. The builder originally used an Autolite AR3934 plug which looks super cold. Carb tuning issues aside, I'm not convinced that he needs a super cold plug.. I'm thinking something similar in heat to an AC 43.. how...

    115 grn vs 124grn for plinking?

    Hi guys, I'm getting ready to order some more ammo as I'm wanting to get back into shooting a bit more regularly.. My carry ammo HST 124 +P - and I've been buying NATO spec ammo as it closely approximates the recoil and ballistics of the HST, but was wondering if it was really worth the cost and...

    Hard primer or light strike?

    Hi guys, I went shooting today and among the guns I took was my Sig P365. I wanted to run some of my plinking ammo to further validate some additions that I performed a while ago (X slide and Holosun RMR). All was well with the few Blazer brass 115grn that I had and the 100 rounds of Magtech...

    Can someone tell me if I can connect a USB-C to HDMI cable to connect to a TV?

    I have THIS Chromebook and am curious if I can do video playback on my TV with it. I looked briefly and didn't see an answer, so I thought it'd be a good idea to ask before buying the cable

    Fleck softener issues - hoping someone has some input

    I've got a Fleck 5600 softener with the most basic timer available that I installed after having a new well drilled (approx 3yrs ago). The water from the well is awesome, just slightly hard. In fact, you can drink it straight out of the ground. Due to my own idiocy, we had some issues with it...

    Aftermarket coolant for 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport?

    Hey guys - I have a sales rep looking for the correct coolant for his Outlander Sport. I don't think there's dealer near, so aftermarket would be great if a compatible formulation is out there. Does anyone know if such a formulation exists?

    Carnage photo of years of ethanol use (sarcasm)

    Was doing fall maintenance the other day and noticed a fuel leak coming from the shut off solenoid on my 700hr Deere L110 (17.5HP Kohler Command single) and decided that I'd better fix it. Not too bad after years and years of indiscriminate fuel use (mostly E10) just parking it in the garage...

    Sad day today - got rid of my favorite mower

    Well today I sent my favorite garden tractor down the road.. It was a similar mower to one my childhood neighbor had and I'd always wanted one. A few years ago this one fell into my lap - it had a Kohler M18 as opposed to Briggs Vanguard like my neighbor, but it still was an opposed twin with...

    Economics of running a small window AC unit

    Hey all, I'd like your input on running a small window air - we have central air, but the issue is that at night the better half likes it cold to sleep. I swear we could hang meat in the place at night :ROFLMAO: It's usually around 64 degrees.. Well, I go to bed later than her, so I'm bundled up...

    Customer states A/C not working well

    Just finished up with a project and thought you'd all get a chuckle.. A farmer customer of mine has a 2015 F250/6.2 - he was dissatisfied with the AC performance. Didn't care about what it took to fix it, just make it work. He said it didn't blow out the vents very well and that it wasn't as...

    Ford 6R80/Dorman 926-149 Lead Frame Connector

    Hi guys - was wondering if anyone has any actual experience with the Dorman part? Yes, I know, Dorman... A select few of their parts are as good or better than OE. But in this case the OE part is on "Galactic Back order" according to the local parts guy and I have a customer in need of a trans...

    CVT question - 2013 Soob Outback

    Hey guys, I think that I already know the answer but I've got a gal with the above mentioned Soob that is getting jerky on uphill starts and some flat ground starts.. It's acting like it's not returning to it's starting ratio right away. Every now and again when you put it park, it'll have (what...

    Better lightening protection for a well pump?

    Well we came back from out of state this weekend and were greeted with an out of order well pump.. of course I didn't find out until I had my hair full of shampoo and the shower petered out 😂 Evidently we had a strong storm move through with lots of rain and lightening. It ended up knocking out...

    Any reason not to use this PSF?

    Hey guys, found some of this stuff in my stash and it just so happens that I want to exchange fluid in our "new" 09 Caravan.. Is it fit for use or should I use my Amsoil ATF? If not then I should be able to use it in my Buick without issue.

    Question for the Lawn Boy folks

    Hey guys, our daughter has a lawn boy that she knew little about... Ended up dumping motor oil in the gas because it says to mix oil 😂 (at least she tried). Now it smokes really bad and basically died and won't restart. Since she's out town, I'm going to gather up some stuff to get that one and...

    Best way to clean a nasty headliner?

    Hey guys - we inherited a minivan that truly needs serious attention... My standards are lower than most but this thing is gross - it sat and the mice moved in.. Fortunately my wife and I have dealt with all of it but the headliner. It's out and in need of some TLC as well, but a little reading...

    Why do mower filters have a bigger absolute micron rating?

    At least with Wix, the correct filter for my mower engine is the 57035 which has an absolute micron rating of 32, however the 51348 is 21 micron absolute and costs almost half as much! Both filters have virtually identical bypass, flow and burst spes. I'm assuming that Wix designed or patterned...

    Thoughts on Kohler 7000 series engines

    Just curious about their 7000 series - I'm familiar with their magnum and command lines but not the 7000. I've heard plenty bad about their courage and wondered if the 7000 was an evolution of that. Looked up some sales literature and they claim it's derived from the command pro? Is this an...
