Hi Rivet, well said about the analog meter, my Chief used to go to Radio shack and purchase all the returned faulty meters, bring them on-board, use them for training, repair and sell to the crew for little to nothing. If your 12 volt battery drops below 12 volts it either needs charging or is...

WoW, who put up **** for brains !!!!!!

Here's my home-made grass shut for my little JD LT133 trim mower. It works super, Ray

Sir, tell us where you are and maybe someone will be close enough to come assist..Ray

Mark, this rug has been beat many times, I think I can say we all fight this issue and many of us have tried it all. I use (EZ-Slide Graphite Aerosol) on my Toro push mower with good results, stays on push mower pretty good but a big machine will push it off rather quickly, I only trim and cut...
