    John Deere Seat Split

    I thought possibly the more expensive X350 may be a little better than the box store tractors, but I guess not in the seat department. As a test, the tractor has always been mounted and dis-mounted from the right side in its 52 hour life span. Left edge never touched with my butt cheeek A**...

    Need to Purchase Air Hose End But Where

    Possibly some of you remember these screw on fittings that were on the hand pump you inflated your bike tires with as a kid. I've found it impossible to find these locally at auto stores and even checked at a bicycle repair shop. I get the look like what the hell is that. If anyone has a...

    Filter Changing Without a Mess

    For those that have a horizontal mounted filter that seems to have no good way to change without getting oil everywhere but where it needs to be, in the drain pan, try this method. Loosen the filter until it can just be turned by hand with some effort. Drill a hole in the side of the filter...

    Wheel Size Optional

    It seems as if mower manufacturers can not make mowers that will mow high enough. If it will mow 4" someone wants 5". If it will mow 5" someone wants 6" and so on up the ruler. The mechanical adjustments have their limitations so the solution I see is an option of taller wheels at the time...

    So, Your Air Cooled Engine

    doesn't have a thermostat. So what? Maybe it'll run cooler, and cooler it does if used in the winter. In fact it can run so cool the moisture is never driven off. That's what that thick milk looking goop is on the dip stick and in the DS tube. Good for manufacturers and bad, very bad for...
