I’ve searched online but can find absolutely nothing about a couple of items my wife obtained from a closed JD dealership. The items were partial payment for a cleaning job she did. The easy part…we have a few yellow-bodied hedge trimmer type tools. I can find close matches online but nothing...

I bought a set of these wheels secondhand for my 5th Generation 4Runner with the intent to put on a set of dedicated snow tires. I bought the tires, then I didn’t realize that the stock lug nuts won’t work. Does anyone know what the specs are of the lug nuts that I need? Can you point me to a...

About 200k miles. Been out of service and sitting outdoors for a couple of years. Hooked up a chain to rear tow eye, have a small tug, and learned the true definition of frame rot:

Samsung top load clothes washer. Spin cycle will not complete. Original post: I suspect I have a clogged drain hose or pump. The unit seems to not have a filter to clean. Since the first post I’ve removed the hose and cleaned it out. There was dirt in it but it wasn’t blocked. The water pump...

I’ve been selling on eBay for a long time. This year, for the first time, I received an IRS form 1099K in the mail. I’m a person who sells things that are excess to my needs, basically using eBay instead of frequent yard sales and to reach a larger collector audience on some items. I do...

I grew up in the music industry and have had lots of social contact with well-known performers throughout my life. In the tradition of somewhat-random-but-nonetheless-interesting BITOG general topics, I thought of seeing which reputable musicians have/had which vehicles. From my personal...

I’ve inherited an older PS 824 snowblower. But I need a gas cap. I can’t seem to locate one online. I believe it has a Tecumseh engine. Any ideas?

I have a friend who is the definition of “miser” and it’s getting worse as we get older. It wasn’t more than something to occasionally kid about when times were 25 years ago, but he continues to live this way. In my opinion he has crossed the line from making wise investments and saving up...

Title says it all. Price is no object. That being said, I do own a pair of $120 handmade alpaca wool socks that are about 3/4” thick and are tough as steel, but that’s not what the scope of my question includes. I have an extremely active lifestyle both in and out of work, and so far no socks...

Or has it come back? Out driving with my wife today and I did a double take when I saw a Willys logo on what (to my untrained eye) appeared to be an ordinary modern Chrysler product Jeep. I thought maybe someone had a decal made as a joke, then my wife said that she saw another one last week on...

I thought this may be an immersion heater of some sort. But searching for such a JD product yields nothing. This item was in storage with a bunch of other JD parts and items. There are no markings except the JD decal and dial. Cord is very heavy duty and the rubber is stamped E-55387 16/3 SJT...

I was given a portable pump as partial trade for something. I’ve never used one before outside of fire department models. I don’t have a use for it and plan to either sell it to a neighbor or give it to a friend it if it doesn’t work. Model is a Red Lion 6RLAG-2ST. I haven’t attempted to start...

Engine is not original to vehicle; we know it's a 350. Carb is going to need a rebuild but model numbers are nearly obliterated. Every known trick has been attempted to expose them, but only a few are visible. We've cleaned, attempted a contrast with paint, taken photos that had tons of light...

Rather urgent request because this vehicle is for sale and we may have people coming to look at it this weekend. I am unable to gather more data or take a look at the vehicle again until tomorrow evening as I am at work at a remote site. I would have to ask my wife to gather any more...

I got a great deal on a new set of Mastercraft Courser LTRs for a K5 Blazer (4WD). These are to replace a set of Goodyear Wranglers that were removed due to age. Has anyone used these in the snow, or do you have an idea how they would do? I am no expert, but know enough about tires to see...

I've liked the 4Runner on paper and in theory for years. Owning one finally fits the needs I have so the wife and I went looking over the weekend. Driving a brand new one, we couldn't get over how stiff the ride was. Vehicle had about 120 miles on it so I'm not sure if the "newness" was a...

I have an iPhone 6, work-issued phone, not personal. I do not live near an Apple Store, the nearest one is at least four hours away in another state. The phone was doing something odd the last three days or so. The battery charge level never dropped below 100%. Whether plugged in and...

I can't seem to locate anything online about this. My neighbor is considering what the dealer tells him is a "Pro Sport" special trim level of Tahoe, MY2011. From the photos he showed me, it looks like a regular Tahoe with chrome-look mirror housings, otherwise stock. He has not seen it in...

I apologize if one of the photos appears upside-down, it does not on the device that I used to take the photo, but it does on the preview of my upload here. Vehicle is a 1985 Chevy K5 Blazer. It is not a daily driver. I bumped up against the coolant overflow tube connector (for lack of a better...

I have never sat in or driven one of these, but have the chance to buy one from an acquaintance at what appears to be a good price based on what I see in my area. I have read reviews online, but most were older from around then the vehicle was produced. I do not need to tow, nor do I drive...
