Gents, some of you may remember my first attempt, this is version II from the lessons learned. I added metal up rights an a water pipe for the cross member to create a proper support. Next I lopped off the front corners of the top so that it would clear obstacles easier(square just wasn't...

Gentlemen, I got tired of strong backing the front end of my machine when I needed the front tires off the floor for storage. All it took was a bolt to construct an easy to use home made lift. I simply put a PVC cap on the top the bolt to prevent metal on metal contact. Of course the rear end...

Gentlemen, who else has tried Mcquire's Hybird Ceramic wax? I used this today on my wife's 2019 Highlander. I have no idea how long it will last yet but I can say this, it is the best cleaner wax I have every spread on a car. After a really good wash, using white cloth pads to apply, it...

Curious what model anyone has tired of the small quite Air Compressor? I recently got a 2gallon Husky. Initial review is very favorable, time will tell how it holds up. Normal use is tire inflation and small cleaning jobs like the vacuum cleaner filter. It certainly is quite, much preferred...

Gentlemen, after searching the web, I just built it myself. 2x4s for upright and cross member. the shade frame is old umbrella frame, hinges and bracket came from a couple old gate openers. I reinforced all the pivot point with steel & pop rivits. One can remove a couple bolts and it will...

Anyone else using a "Grass Flap"? I've had some form of shoot blocker on my riding mower for years (one should see the rube goldberg set up on my Cub Cadet) and I knew when I got a ZTR it would be difficult to use a hand operated one. I have many plants and other things in my yard that I didn't...

Gentlemen, I just got around to completing this project. My original intent was to simply raise the air filter up a foot, it ended up moving up 21". I'll attach 4 photo's to show the progress. Photo 1 shows the basic structure/frame with the air tube (2" radiator hose) and mounting plate made...

I would ask, it one was to simply extended the air intake hose 1' straight up and then re attached the stock filter. This would get it above much of the stuff that it is currently being picked up. Anything it might come in contact with would certainly hit the driver first. Would one think this...
