    Turbocharging a lawn mower

    I'm curious if you can make it work. I personally don't think it will work, and I also think a $75 turbo kit means it will be incredibly poor quality. It seems just buying a more powerful engine that fits your mower's bolt pattern would be the most effective solution. For example, a Harbor...

    Just what you non tax payers have done now.

    I think most Republicans would agree that everyone should be required to pay their legally owed taxes. What is worrisome is that the IRS will become (or already is) "weaponized" like the current DOJ, FBI, etc...to target political enemies of the current administration. They worry that while...

    Weed Eating Secrets Please.

    @tgzzzz, I must commend you for swinging a trimmer at your age...that's great. I would warn you on your Stihl Kombi...there are three major drawbacks in my opinion, for using this as a trimmer. One is weight of the unit, one is the trimmer attachment itself, and one is the 4-Mix engine...

    How many hours do machines really last?

    How long will these mowers last? Pretty much depends upon how well you take care of it. Having a more costly, better made mower should mean it lasts longer, but those need good maintenance too. Keep in mind that heavier-duty transmissions and higher power motors are needed for heavier chassis...

    How many hours do machines really last?

    Your statement makes no sense. There are plenty of videos from Wright mowers talking about the 2" receiver hitch on the back of their ZXL and ZXT zero turn mowers. In the video, Wright clearly says they are rated to pull 500lbs but they have tested them to pull much more. Each hydro manufacturer...

    Great ethanol warning

    I think buying ethanol free gas is a giant waste of money. I've never done it, ever. My equipment sits all winter (nearly 6 months) in an unheated shop. I don't use fuel stabilizer. I don't user battery tenders. I've honestly only cleaned one carb. My oldest piece of equipment is 15 years old...

    Engine who makes my engine

    Seems like a lot of effort to fix up what amounts to a poor quality generator in the first place. I'm not sure a different camshaft is needed to change lift and duration, considering there are many gasoline automobiles which are converted to LPG without swapping cams. Running propane also means...
