Not only electrical , it could be wise in some areas to be careful around machinery and equipment . My HVAC man sent this pic to me of a rattle snake in a unit . Why in there ? Most likely looking for mice .

Do different brands of mower blades have the same hardness ?

If you happen to have c clamps that will fit the situation , they are excellent for connecting most lawn tractor batteries . Heavy duty are best but your light weights will usually work . These pictured when re-positioned to vertical make excellent handles for lifting and carrying .

I got me some of that Texas Mesquite wood for smoke flavor and smoked some burgers but i've not been able to find them .

Brand doesn't really matter , but if your lawn tractor has a idler sheave with a bad bearing in many instances the bearing only can be replaced . The ones i've done had a 202 ball bearing or very similar .

Many mowers have a 3 blade deck . Maybe i'm missing how a clamp blade blocker works on the center blade of a 3 blade deck .

Several years back i found a site that dated the year of any Craftsman power tool and the name of the manufacturer but i'm un-able to locate that information now . Thought you knowledgeable guys would possibly be able to help . My eye sight isn't nearly as good as you younger whipper snappers ...

If old gas isn't desirable for a $50.00 mower why would I want to dispose of it by pouring it in a $50,000 dollar pickup truck.

Where does a person find EDIT?

Due to mowing conditions, I do a lot of reverse travel and the mow in reverse safety becomes a nuisance. When safety is NOT a concern at SandburRanch I've found a simple temporary over ride on the X350 for the mow in reverse button. Not disconnecting any wires it can be accomplished from the...

Has anyone developed a convenient way to lube the sleeve bearing that supports the steering shaft near the pinion gear on a X350?

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**...

I'll be absent until e-mail notifications is corrected. You folks have a nice time looking for your subject matter. I don't have enough time remaining in life to put up with the hassle.

It's certain many have different types of equipment ( 4 cycle - 2 cycle ) so gas of the correct nature is important to specific equipment. How do you label your gas cans as 2 or 4 cycle, maybe Stabil if it was added and when was fresh gas put in the container? Do you have a convenient way of...

mine doesn't work. how can i fix it?

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...

Can the screen in the gas tank neck be removed? If so, how is it done?

The X350 John Deere lists a k46 transmission but the D140 spec sheet sold at Lowe's doesn't indicate which transmission it has. Does someone know which transmission the D 140 has or have a link to that information? Thanks

Just thinking, if manufacturers would read some of the forums available to determine what bugs owners / operators the most, how well they could improve their product for so little cost. Riding mowers directed. Example : 1) it just clicks 2) i'm setting on the seat and nothing when i turn the...

I'm having a problem locating a air filter for a Homelite Chainsaw. Anyone have one they would part with or know of another avenue to purchase one ? I've contacted Homelite via phone and struck out. Homelite UT - 10617-A Sr. No. 7F2840120

If brake pads for your old mower become scarce or the economy has you down, they can be made of wood. Oak or Hickory works well.

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...

Something is screwed up. Clicking on edit gets me a new blank sheet rather than my original post I'm attempting to edit.

Looking for advise from anyone presently using an Ultrasonic Cleaner to clean carburetor parts etc., their recommendations and cleaning solutions that work. The last I used one was 40 some years ago while working in a small jewelry manufacture shop during college. All I can recall about it was...

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 there sets my Chevy with plenty of power so why not put it to work. Blades sharpened - deck cleaned. OSHA doesn't need to know everything.
