    Hydrogear 3100 right side slow now

    Gravely ZTHD 60 was fine. I changed the blades by lifting the front with my hoist just enough to get in there, and when I finished it was very slow on the right side in fwd and rev. I had to slow the L side down maybe 20-25% to go straight. I did an air purge but no change. Belt is newish. Exam...

    Jed Clampett's OMC outdrive upside down?

    I saw this recently, looks like my old OMC, except mine was installed a little differently. :unsure: Was this so it could be trailered or something? Mine did tilt, had those funny exposed "fingers" instead of a u-joint.

    ZT60, new in 2019 was working fine. Used my come along attached to the front of the frame to raise the front just enough to where the rear hitch touched the ground to change the blades, all went well.

He didn't know about that but he had a new DVR for free. OK. He failed to mention the NEW ONE ONLY RECORDS 20 HOURS AND ONLY RECORDS 2...

    I'm sure most of you guys do some woodwork too, want to pass this along. Replacing some rotten pine siding and went to open a small pint can of maybe 2 year old Shellac to seal a few knots before priming the wood. Pryed off the lid and it went off like a shotgun. The lid hit my hand so hard it...

    Generator shutdown question

    Most gens say to unload them before shutting down. I'm sure many have run out of gas while fully loaded even with the best intentions. Other than timers, watching the gauge, etc does anyone have a better idea?

    Interesting tube, no need to remove wheel

    https://www.amazon.com/Huffy-Bicycle-Company-Quick-Change/dp/B07GW1HT1C?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 I got an ebike and a flat on the front is no big deal, but a little more involved if it is the rear (hub drive). Mine needed some real tools to remove, not the stuff I would probably have on the...

    Still missing one safety feature

    Either a blinker volume that increases over time and is maybe also tied into ambient sounds or is adjustable (louder only) and/or seat buzzer for turn signals. You know, for the citizens that are becoming forgetful and hard of hearing, or others with the tunes up loud.. Had to remind my Dad all...

    Not the base model-it still has a CVT, but above that there is a 2.0 four and two electric motors, one is spun by the engine as a generator and the other puts power (247 ft lb torque) to the ground. Motor take it up to 20mph and then the engine clutchs in. Maybe the lighter trans makes up for...

    FR730V on zero turn Gravely. About 100 hours on it, never any issues.
