    Glock 40 caliber, should I keep?

    Interesting. Makes sense, I have been a 9mm/.45 cal guy myself.

    Glock 40 caliber, should I keep?

    I guess I'm out of the loop, probably for the last 10 years. If .40 isn't as popular anymore, what is the new hot ticket on the market?

    Toro Timemaster getting hard to start

    My vote as well. Have a 7 HP Briggs Intek that demonstrated this exact symptom, new coil fixed it and it starts easier than ever.

    Need recommendations for a battery charger

    I've used a 1.5 or 2 amp Schumacher and it works very well. No issues getting even a big truck battery from normal usage levels up to fully topped off within 6 to 10 hours.

    Straight 30 or 15W40 for hard use air cooled small engine?

    Might have to try 15w40 in my 1969 JD 140 H3 garden tractor. The single cylinder Kohler works hard on a 46" deck, and it consumes a bit of oil, from full to low every 5 to 10 hours in the heat of summer. This is with Rotella t4 10w30. Thanks for the info!

    Straight 30 or 15W40 for hard use air cooled small engine?

    That's a good data point. Any weak points on Generac units from your experience?

    Need recommendations for a battery charger

    Love the NOCO10. Nice amps to charge a big battery quickly.

    What causes flat spots in tread of trailer tires

    Is it braked on both axles? Maybe it's locking up when empty and you can't tell. Hard to say though, 800 miles isn't a lot.

    What oil should I use 2016 Mazda 6 Skyactiv 2.5L non turbo?

    Congrats, it's an excellent sedan. Ours has north of 150k, I have used Mazda oil for the first 130k or so, then switched to Costco brand 0w20. The Mazda OEM oil is great stuff, but the Costco price is too good to pass up and it's a great oil. I use it on our 2022 Yukon XL as well, so that's...

    What causes flat spots in tread of trailer tires

    Think there's some confusion in the reply. You're talking about physical wear down on the tread of the tire, correct? Versus flat spotting ... deformation of the wheel from sitting in one spot for a long time. Agreed on the low quality. Had a blowout and near-blowout on two generic trailer...

    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Wow that brings back memories. My first push mower back in 1996 or 1997, but mine had the small back wheels and was rear discharge. That 6.25 HP Tecumseh was revolutionary coming from a 3.5 Briggs flathead. Seems like everyone in the neighborhood had one in the late 90s. Served us well up...

    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Also a JD 318, 1986 with just under 800 hours. And a 1969 JD 140 H3 with untold hours, rebuilt by previous owner. Both are incredible workhorses, I wish I had more grass to cut with them.

    How Old Is Your Lawn Mower(s)?? And How Many Hours Approximately?

    Snapper self propelled from ~2004, put a castor wheel kit on it recently. 7 hp Intek, wild guess is around 250 hours. Used extensively with a 7 year vacation in the middle. Recently picked up a V212 Snapper aluminum deck with a Kawi 5 hp repower. Runs great, plenty of power for bagging or...

    Reuse of former military bases

    What underground lake? I'm currently stationed at Dover, and thankfully a few miles away living off base. A quick Google search pulled up some landfills with toxic chemicals on base, but no large quantities of jet fuel. Curious as to what you're referring to. Thanks!

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    Went to get mower parts and saw this at the dealer. Good thing I don't keep large amounts of cash sitting around.

    Do you usually sharpen or buy new blades?

    My snapper Ninja mulching blades are up to about 50 bucks. I feel your pain.
