I was about to buy some NBR fuel line (Amazon), and thought I'd check out the reviews. Then I found this video. Only after 9 months, (of mostly sitting) it's already cracking. My normal fuel line I get from Stens in on back order. No telling how long it'll be before it gets in. So I'm...

Well, apparently this Husqvarna has two different ID's on each side of the rim. So only one bearing fits. The inside. The outside of the wheels ID, is about 1 1/4. I can't find .75 X 1.25 bearings anywhere. Everyone and their dog has 1 3/8ths ID. Update. Scratch all that. Those other...

How did the wife take you abusing her helper? I was shocked that this thing picked up so much stuff. I've had to dump dirt bin twice. Of course the bin doesn't hold much more than about 2 hand fulls. But I'm glad to see it's picking up stuff.

Watching the cat & this thing is almost worth the $50.

That's makes me feel slow. I spent 4 hrs on an old Husq yesterday. Engine swap, making one seat and it's brackets fit another (had to drill holes). Looking up gas tank grommets, then realizing I bought extra's and then having to find them. I think I spend more time looking for stuff than I do...

Update, after the first hour. It sweeps just enough for the floor to look like it doesn't need sweeping. If that makes any sense. It looks like it's lost half the time. And the one thing that drives me nuts, is instead of going all the way down the hall, it'll go to one wall, then back to...

Well all that must've taking you all day long. I bet you're tired.

So I got one. It was on sale at walmart for like $50, delivered. It's supposed to sweep and mop. And it maps out the area on it's own. Anyone else have one? So far so good. My phone is attached to it so I can see it's mapping out the place pretty good. I need to find a better place to...

I had someone doxxing me, so I shut my business FB page down. So it's been slow.

So I'm wanting to take a wheel and tire off of one John Deere and put on another. Same size tire. The first one came off fine. The 2nd one I had to break out the air hammer and penetrating oil and work on it for a solid hour to get it off. Only to find out that the wheel ID is 1" on 1. And...

If the spindle is warn, I can probably weld it up and grind it down, til it fits snug. I replaced the bushings for bearings in my little garden trailer. All that squeaking was driving me crazy. No grease fittings, so it was kind of a pain to grease it. Now I may never have to grease it...

Maybe 30 minutes after I posted this, I found these bearing kits. It should be way better than those bushings they call bearings.

Anyone every tried using a real bearing instead of these? I'm not even sure why they call these bearings. Flange Bearing. Model # LGT2654 S# 960450047

I noticed that with Stens 55g drums. And that's before the shipping cost.

So I'm looking for some bar and chain oil, and realized I haven't made a Stens order in a while. But I'm confused about the price on the gallon jugs vs the qt. bottles. Four 1 gallon bottles for $60 or 0.12 cents per oz. $15 per gallon, ain't bad. IF it's decent B&C oil. 12 qt bottles for...

Project Farm is a good YT channel. He really gets scientific with a lot of his tests.

People in California pay $300 for a colon cleansing. For less than $10 at Taco Bell, they'd could get the same results.

At the mechanic shop I used to work at, we'd put all the oily rags in a 55 gallon drum. It would sit there for months without any problems. Sometimes there'd be two full drums just sitting there for several months.

Samsung products have always been good. I think I bought the washing machine (that the ex has now) about 12 years ago. And it's never had a problem. All of my phones since way before them have been Samsung. Except for the one LG I got from WM a few years ago. That thing didn't last hardly a...

I went to some pizza joint one time and they wanted my phone number. I wouldn't give it to them. I was sick of spam calls and knew darn well, they'd be selling it to some other spammers. The guy waiting behind me, said just give them a fake number. I was like, 1, I'm not giving them my number...

I just found out that Samsung has a streaming channel. So I put the app on my ROKU, and guess what? I can't watch it til my new phone number gets changed in their system. LMAO

Right. The TCL TV that just went out, had ROKU built into it. That, and the price, was the reason I bought it. Easy, peasy Japaneasy. Smart TV's allow you access those same streaming channels. But I just don't see the need to have to have a Samsung account. I was thinking about getting...

So like 2 years ago, I bought a cheap 43" TCL TV. I wasn't expecting a miracle with it. But I've never had a TV that didn't last at least 10 years. Well, it goes out on me last night. (LED light strips) So I decided to get a Samsung 55" crystal uhd they had at Walmart. The website said it was...

He did a great job on it too.

Up until this DeWalt bidet, my thoughts on a bidet was "Yeah na." Now it's like

Looks like they also sell stens parts. lol

I bout spit out my drink......

I never thought about this. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=451772790525394

@Hammermechanicman This made me think of you and your woodworking skills. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=390700587169552

Stens oil claims to have zinc. That's what I use.

Good question.

I was in the middle of replacing my power steering hoses. And just about the time I got under the truck to connect those down there, the eclipse was over, the clouds were gone, and the sun was shining right down in my eyes.

Dang. I didn't even think to look for planets.

I bet you're selling them cheap. 😄😄😄

One thing that was extra cool about todays eclipse, was being able to see some of the more brighter stars. During the daytime, that's very rare. You couldn't see them through the glasses though.

We ended up with a long, slim cloud right in the path for a lot of it. But it finally moved out of the way just about the time moon just passed center. So we didn't miss too much.

It darkened when it was looking at the sun. But I still close my eyes at first. I have trust issues. :cool::giggle:

What I see when a customer messes up his wiring and needs me to straighten it out. This is only 2 circles.

My son bought me a welding helmet several years ago. I tried it out a couple of days ago. It took a few hours to recover from my short glance at the sun. Afterwards, I'd close my eyes and still see the sun, if you know what I mean. It's one of those that you can see through clearly, but as...

We're going to be partly cloudy. So it's going to be a hit or miss getting the right location. I think there is going to be less than 4 minutes of total eclipse.

I wouldn't advise that. But hey, if you do, be sure to record your reaction. And the eye doctors reaction when you tell him how you went blind. J/J.. If you got a 13 or better, you're good.

I'm within 50 miles. I may take a trip over there. I got some eclipse glasses, just incase. The weirdo's are coming out in full force. Some of the online video's of these people are off the chain.

Nice work, man.

Not mower related. But still relatable for us. CLIENT – How much will it cost to do this job? CONTRACTOR - $2,800 dollars. CLIENT – That’s too expensive for this job! CONTRACTOR – How much do you think it should cost? CLIENT – $800 max! It’s a simple job! CONTRACTOR – I can’t do the job for so...

Anyone recognize something in this picture?

I've got a few pieces of equipment I might give this a try on.

Well then. You need to step it up, man. Loafing all day won't get you caught up. :p:p:p

I almost posted this on your Gardner thread. But I think these were things Americans were exporting. I'm glad to see we're actually exporting stuff. Although, these may be empties, going to be reloaded.

I'd love to get something like this, and charge them about $500 to put everything back together. And when asked what was wrong, tell them "Oh it just needed a spark plug," or something simple and external. Then snap a quick pic of the look on their face.
