I found the low idle RPM. But can't find the WOT RPM spec. This one is running right at 6,900 to 7,000. It sounds like it could run more, safely. But it's got limiters on it. Anyone know what the RPM's are supposed to be at WOT?

Gamers, when the word comes up, makes some think of a pimple faced, overweight 20+ yr old still living with his parents because he's so addicted to video games, he doesn't know how to function in society. But after retirement, it can take on a whole new meaning. I started playing video games...

Wood chipper, sight unseen. Just talking to a friend who lives over an hour away. Discussing this over the phone. He pulled it out of storage and ran it for a while. Said he changed the plug (RJ19LM) removed the tank and cleaned out. Put it back on with fresh gas and fired it up. Said he...

I'm surprised it ran as good as it did. I can't imagine what the valves looked like after running even a short time. I'll give Taryl one thing, he was very thorough about trying to prove it wouldn't work. The ONLY Fuel Additive That ACTUALLY Rejuvenates Stale Fuel! This Stuff REALLY Works!

PERFECT Diagnostic Tool For Any Mechanic (Game-Changer!)

I'm sorry my friend. I really am. But I'm just wondering, why would Australia do this to the good folks down under. P.S. Bert, I'm just poking a little fun, my guy. Nothing personal towards you or Australia.

I'm not going to say. It's probably not allowed. Just google "Why were chainsaws invented."

This happened to me once. Except my incident went way further than just threats. My customer started trying to load the mower. Then tried ripping the battery off it. And a lot of screaming and cussing during all that. And I found out later, that in Texas, a customer doesn't have to pay, even...

I'm having a lot of problems finding some tiny 90 degree wire connectors, in a hurry. No one in towns has these. So I'm gonna have to order them online. First off, I'm not sure how to measure them. I think they're .11" or 2.9mm Something like this would work great. It's going to be...

So I was at the store the other day. Me and this other guy got to chatting (waiting on the butcher). And told me that if you have a meat grinder, it's cheaper and better to ground brisket into hamburger meat, than to buy the hamburger meat already prepared. You know, like in those logs. I...

I'm about fed up with my ISP. Rate increases. Paying for 15mbps and rarely even get 10. I live 8 miles from town. About a year or so ago, they started laying fiber this way. They got about a mile out of town and just stopped. Coming from the other direction, they laid it all the way to...

I get alerts on my facebook when a mower comes up for sale near me. And this year, they've been dirt cheap. A JD L110 just popped up for $200. The seller says it runs fine. And come with an extra set of blades and a spare tire. It looks fine. Also listed. and eXmark ztr. It looks in good...

Pretty cook homemade device for testing and maybe even fixing fouled plugs.

John Deere Laying Off Workers in Midwest US, Opening Plant in Mexico John Deere announced a wave of layoffs on Friday that will affect workers in Illinois and Iowa, while planning to open a facility in Mexico in 2026. In a press release, the company wrote: “We can confirm Deere leadership...

Nevermind. I found it. Video at the bottom. Here's some snips of a conversation I'm having with another fella somewhere else on the internet, I can't figure out what kind of 2 stroke he's got. And how this is mixing the fuel. All i've ever heard off is mixing fuel and oil together, then...

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 A couple of issues here. This engine has the smaller crank because it had the manual PTO. The rider it's on now, once had an electric PTO. Using the crank & deck pulley, the deck belt pulley rubs the drag links when I turn...

So I got the robot vac and it scared the cat off for a couple of days. She she came back, she brought fleas in with her. So I get her a prescription of Bravecto and put it on her neck. That stuff seems to work real well. The only fleas I see on her now are dead ones that have fell off when...

This explains a lot of the business models for todays products. Things we were bringing up in the Taryls shop closing thread. It starts out about light bulbs, but it goes into other products. One thing particularly that really caught my attention, was the companies allowing the government to...

What a shocker. He just added on a huge addition to his shop. Now he's closing it? Here he explains why.

I like the almost automatic chain tensioner on this.

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 It used to have a Kohler twin cylinder on it. But switching to a Briggs from a JD. This is just going to be for pulling a yard trailer. No electric PTO anymore or deck, since the Brigg's has the smaller crank, from a JD...

I just got this in today. Can't wait to try it out. Donny Boy was showing this in one of his video's and recommended it. This is one tool I'll hardly ever use. But man, it looks good in my tool box. Cable Lug Crimping Tool with 170pcs Copper Wire Lugs and 210pcs Heat Shrinkable Tube, Wire...

Donny addresses some really good points that some of us have to deal with. Getting stuck with equipment, and not even getting paid for the diagnosis. After getting burned a few times, and left with junk, I started taking upfront money on all new customers. And a few shady repeat customers.

First Steel Plough This Day In History May 6 1837 US blacksmith John Deere creates the first steel plough in Grand Detour, Illinois In 1837, John Deere, was a typical blacksmith turning out hay forks, horseshoes, and other essentials for life on the prairie. Then one day, a broken steel...

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...

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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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.

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

Makes sense. To skip to the important part, skip to the 2:00 mark

Greentree is saying this product is 8.40in tall and 7.35in wide. I've never seen one that tall, with the big primer hole. I don't have the model number, because the QR code doesn't work. It's only got a serial number 12 0410 54 72598. 140cc 550 EX(I think)

When the bolt dropped, they probably didn't even look down in the carb?

I happened on a box of Stens 2c fuel lines (115-512 True Blue) that I know can't be much more than 2yrs old. Probably 1 yr, now that I think about it. They've been under something else, so I didn't see them. None the less, I opened the box and they're hard already. I'm pretty sure they...

Pretty good episode.

FD501V-CS00 E/No FD501V061146 For some reason, this fan (just below the radiator) had one fin that had dropped down, like it got hot. And was rubbing on the fan shroud. All the others were fine. No drooping at all. So I heated it up and bent it back up, so it wouldn't hit. Question is, is...

For starters, I know they're supposed to be called "O possums." But it's 2024 in the US. I think we can get passed all that. :p So I caught this possum limping around on my back porch a couple of weeks ago. When I say limping, that's exactly what she was doing. Something is wrong with her...

Some pretty good info in this.

This is pretty interesting. Maybe it'll save some folks some money.

FINALLY. A use for those bolts you never use.

RIP Mr. Keith Loved this guys music. In his (and my prime) he had swinging them gals across the dancefloor like superman. His songs had me picking up the guitar and writing again. Toby Keith, country music star, dies at 62. He was suffering from cancer. Country music star Toby Keith has...

I had no idea there was a difference.
