Sometime back in the late 50’s dad got a Lawn Boy. All I can ever Romberg mixing in the gas was Havoline and I think 20 weight as that was all he would use in his cars.

It's been a long time since using mine. In the past I have used motor oil, spray silicone, but after reading here, have come to the conclusion that bar/chain oil would probably be best. I think it is so thick as to not sling off readily as lighter oils will.

Posts like this remind me of why I baby mine. I probably ran it 10-12 hours during the recent outage here due to heavy, wet snow when some falling tree limbs took out supply line from transformer to neighbors house and in the process tore connection to my house loose on transformer. After...

Back when I worked in a hospital, one of the maintaince guys had a small welding shop at his home. I got a couple of highway axel stubs and wheels for an axel, and he made a cart frame with dump capability for me. That's probably been 25+ years ago and it's still good. floor and sides are...

I really don't know about that. I have not bought that many parts, a couple of rubber grommets that had age rotted , for one of the early leaf blowers . took the 35 year old air filter for my chain saw to the dealer and he said not bad and blew it off , also a couple of other air filters. Always...

As a homeowner, I only buy the lower end commercial products, I started with Stihl, two reasons, the dealer is closest to my house, and the time I went into the dealer that carries Echo, I was ignored. I make sure to use ethanol free gas and the highest grade two cycle oil I can find.

I had a weedeater brand back in the early 80's that got to the point where it vibrated so much it was hurting. I gave it away and got a bicycle handle Stihl which I am still using.

Don't know what your problem is with Stihl, I have a shed full of Stihl tools. A chainsaw and a straight shaft string trimmer(blade capable) both date from the mid 80's and are still going strong. I think the only thing mechanical done was to replace air filters, and a worn bar on the chain saw...

I put Stabil marine in all my gas, at ratio recommended for long term storage. For my 4 cycle engines I also add some 2 cylce outboad motor oil at dilution of 200-250:1. Been doing that for about 18 years and no problem with any engine.

My feelings exactly, and even then I will look for one of the better grade outlets, say like Cracker barrel, or similar where you know what you are getting, sometimes look for local if convenient.

I have a 2003 6.0 purchased new, in spring of 03. Been running Rotella T6 since it was new. I did add a bypass oil filter, oilguard, one of the "ball of twine types" filter. It gets a lot of sludge out. This truck has basically been a large family car, not used heavily. I'm just shy of 190,000...

Same here, I have a GX200 on a pressure washer and a GX 620 on a generator, both steel tanks. I use some stabilizer in fuel and also add two cycle oil (outboard motor type) at a dilution of 250:1, No problems with tanks or engines after about 18-20 years.

I looked today when it was light and discovered that the Honda gx200 has two drain locations and two fill locations. I went ahead and ordered a magnetic drain plug, and another magnetic dipstick for those locations.

Waiting on a drain plug magnet for my Honda EB11000 (GX620) engine. I just learned that it has two drain plugs, and I have had a Fumoto/quick drain valve with extension hose in one side for years for convenience and to keep oil from running all over the place when draining. Will use Rotella T6...

From what I have seen you save quite a bit by mixing your own vs premix. I will only use ethanol free gas for my small equipment , large lawn mower and generator, and until very recently the only place nearby that had ethanol free was a small country store/small engine repair shop about 15-18...

I have been reading over on the powerequipment forum, generator forums and just learned in the last couple of days that the Honda GX620 v twin on my big generator has two drain plugs. Years ago I had installed a fumoto drain valve with a nipple for a drain hose, makes oil change much cleaner as...

Second that. I have a 2006 Scag Wildcat. I opted for the liquid cooled Kawasaki, 26or 27 hp can't remember at the moment. 52" fabricated deck, built like a tank. I think it has 15-18 grease fittings. I mow about 1 1/2 acres during season and mow leaves on a smaller part of it this time of year...

Better check your spelling of Ouachita, From way up north originally, West Monroe, in Ouachita parish, on the banks of the you guessed it, Ouachita river.

Had to send that one to my son, an attorney
