    Looking for something with Kohler engine. Has Briggs and Stratton seriously improved their engines? One neighbor has 21 year old Craftsman rider w/Kohler V twin. Other neighbors have B&S Twins. They run about 3 years and become trouble.

    Grass Bagger

    1/3 rule? I want to bag so I can compost. Grass clippings make great compost for the garden. My neighbor sits on his riding mower and has to go to the gym to keep the weight off. Mowing, bike riding and walking the dog keeps me at ideal weight.

    Good mower for mulching leaves

    I would not consider battery one for more than postage stamp size yard. I used a corded electric one on 300' of cord for years. Quiet. No fumes and heat. Finally had to replace the brushes. I dropped the armature putting a big dent in the commutator so had to junk it. 8 years ago I bought a...

    Grass Bagger

    Do grass baggers made for riding lawnmowers really work? I mow with a walk behind mower that bags the clippings which I compost. I mow close to an acre. Takes about 1 hour several days. That's a lot of stopping and starting to empty the bag, or a lot of raking. How good are those baggers made...

    Anyone remember when airlines had "city ticket offices"?

    Back when you went to the airport and bought you ticket at the counter, I learned to find which airline did no go where I was going and ask for a ticket to where I was going. They would sell me a ticket on the other airline at their lowest price. That was way cheaper than going to the other...

    Bearing Grease

    What's the difference? Automotive wheel bearing grease (The kind I used to pack my TR-4's wheel bearings with) or bicycle bearing grease? Wonder what they used back in the 50's at the factory.

    Classic Road Bikes

    Found a 70's Schwinn World Sport in a thrift store a few years ago. Not top of the line but top of the middle. Made in Taiwan. Enjoyable to use for exercise and sight seeing. I hope these mid century bikes don't get noticed by collectors and wind up hanging on their wall.

    can u get a reliable used car for under $3k anymore?

    I bought a 72 Datsun 1200 coupe in 79 for about $100. Thoroughly clapped out 180,000 + miles. Nursed it for a year then rebuilt engine and front suspension. Had about $1500 in it. People thought I was crazy. It's sitting in the back pasture now. 800,000 miles on it. No car payments and nothing...

    2.0 Liter Fiesta

    That thing was a real pocket rocket. After rebuilding the engine one time. I began ordering re manufactured by Nissan in Japan from the dealer. Not one of those 30,000 mile jobs. Nissan parts guy said that was about the same price as replacing all the valves, guides and springs. About $500+-...

    Maintenance 95 Nissan Pickup

    It's a 95 w/KA24E engine. I've read Nissan improved the tensioners and guides to eliminate the chain problem. I am confident the engine will last another year. Since the maintenance history is unknown I am going to recommend a timing chain replacement in a year or two's time. That should give it...

    2.0 Liter Fiesta

    I get dunned by those Japanese car exporters. While perusing their notices I saw 2.0 liter Fiesta's. I have a 2013 Hatch SE 5 Speed manual. Always thought the 1.6 engine did not have enough bottom end grunt and thought it really needed a 2 liter engine. Our 99 Escort is 200 pounds heavier. Has...

    Broken Recliner

    A reclining office chair? We will have it re upholstered if I can get it fixed. Don't think something like it is made anymore.

    Broken Recliner

    Take a close look at the second picture near the chrome piece where the chair pivots side to side. There are rods that come from either side and were joined in the middle by a welded coupling. The weld broke. Above that is a ratcheting assembly that is out of position. Are Lazyboy or others...
