Hi Slomo, I inherited a 1988 8-HP Snapper RER series 6 a few years back and I got it up and running basically for nostalgic purposes, but that is one tough "bulldog" of a mower. It needed new tires, a carburetor and a new blade spindle assembly. Now I only use it a couple of times a year to...

Actual human Quality control is from a bygone era. Now they just leave the factory machinery running with no supervision.

Well Folks, I'm going to forgo the new posting on this oil spitting out of the fuel pump issue. I had to study it for a bit and think about the last thing that was done on the generator. I had pulled the intake and carburetor for a good cleaning and during reassembly, the breather port inside...

Hello R., Has luck would have, my power went out due to a tripped main breaker in the outside main power box this evening and I figured I was good to start up the 15KW Generac and power the house. After running for a couple of minutes to warm it up. it started weeping oil out of the fuel...

This is a lawnmower forum. Take your political views elsewhere folks.

The early (dark brown bag) MRE's were questionable, and a lot of troops developed digestive issues if they had to eat them for very long during deployments. Some of the newer (light tan bag) MRE's are actually pretty decent and the portion sizes are better. I still have not figured out why...

The P38 is a GI tool that never wears out, but you don't keep them sharp. LOL I still carry my P38 on my key ring. We had MREs when I was in the Air Force back in the mid 80's, but it was still handy to have one around. I still get some funny looks from "green civilians" who have never seen...

This is the world we a living in: Society is being fed so much bad information by the current internet world that no one actually can distinguish the truth from fiction. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/debunked-we-will-bury-you-without-firing-a-shot.942/

Hello H., Many areas of the world have raised their children as government dependents with no real-world experience of having to be independent. I know 4th generation welfare families who think that is their way of getting by aka. "Making a living". I grew up in the 60's out in the rural...

Hello H., I agree to a point, but in our "throw it away" economy people don't want to pay for repairs hardly, especially on portable generators. I had a couple of them surrendered by customers this year, so I fixed them up and sold them.

Hello M., A couple of years ago when I decided to hardwire in my Portable 15KW Generac to my house, I had no complaints from my family when it came time to put it to work in the heat of summer or the cold of winter. Before then, I was using a smaller (bare minimum) 6.5KW portable generator to...

Last year, I also quit letting anyone drop off or pick up equipment except the actual owner.

Hello G., This guy just wants to play the victim like much of our society does these days. It will likely be early next year before I hear anything more from the county court. Meanwhile, the machine will just sit, chained to a farm tractor.

With a cutting torch, a stick welder and some heavy scrap metal anything is possible.
