    Big Whoops! I added chain saw oil instead of 2-stroke to make up my gallon of 50:1 mix!

    I would drop it off at a waste disposal site- it's only one gallon. Or, if someone has a burn pile, use it for that.

    Was the new foam fire-resistant, too? That's the material that kills people faster than anything, not the cover fabric. I have a friend who owns an upholstery shop (he has done a lot of aircraft seats & interiors, too)- they recover tractor seats all the time and in fact, we know some people...

    Can't fix broken gas. Good thing it was only a gallon.

    Blue Marker Dye which can be safely and effectively used with RoundUp ?

    How can you prevent a super concentrate from affecting the new turf if it rains after application? Is the lawn flat? If it is, why not use a weed & feed/pre-emergent, let that do its job and overseed, to let the new grass crowd the weeds out?

    I have to wonder if the people who buy these are proud of the fact that it has the brand name of the mower. I don't understand that thinking.

    That's not 'fair trade', that's price fixing- fair trade is for developing countries, so they can receive better price for their products. Did you mean 'free trade'? That was outlawed a long time ago. Setting prices can be done- MAP is Minimum Advertised price but if the dealer wants to sell...

    Well Mowing season is just about done here

    Does the drive shaft have an intermediate bearing? Could that be the source of the rattle?

    Why does the plug need to be Cub Cadet brand? That would be similar to buying headlights or wiper blades with Chevrolet on them- the company that sells products don't make the parts, so generic is going to be cheaper and a better alternative may be available.

    But they could at least look for the best price! I guess that consider that gouge equal to the local price because their time it so effing valuable, eh? I mean, driving a long distance vs online is fine but not if it involves grabbing the handles to assume the position. BOHICA! And these are...

    Why would anyone buy from them when everyone has this plug for much less?

    Well Mowing season is just about done here

    I have one area in the back yard that goes dormant, so I watered it a few times this week and will cut the whole lawn after it grows a bit more- waiting for more leaves to fall. We need rain- it's not growing fast, so I hope the snow waits until I get the leaves off- we're not supposed to see...

    I put a starter kill in my '83 Cutlass after it was stolen (and recovered about 20 minutes later, when the guy kicked the metal collar onto the asphalt as he got out of the car at an intersection where a bunch of cops were handling another call). That worked great at car washes and they always...

    Well Mowing season is just about done here

    My friend who worked in V8 Powertrain Development at the GM Desert Proving Ground until about 2002 drives a 1995 Chevy Silverado- he could easily buy new vehicles but why, so he can be stylish and trendy? Not that type and because he has a 2400 square foot garage with a lift IN the floor with...
