It really doesn't pay to put off getting a new battery, if it is older, just get a new one and be done with it. Not worth the extra hassle trying to just get by.

You only need 1 time having one blow up in your face to make a believer out of you. I was trying to jump a friends car , 1 spark and kaboom. 2 guys picked me up and ran me into the kitchen to rinse under water, lucky I didn't get blinded and only lost a set of clothes. I was 17 at the time...

I will definitely start looking harder.

Thank you

Are they still available? I have looked but not found anywhere.

Glad you got results, sometimes you will and sometimes you don't. I can see the amount of hassle with all of it, hope it turns out good.

I remember the Penncraft line and Penny's t-shirts were the best. Back then all the big stores had their own tools, they stood by their guaranties. Places like Western Auto even had Hot patches for tubes and tires that you would light on fire and make it a permanent patch. The old days

What happened to caring about the customer and making sure he is happy? No one seems to give a rat's arse. I always had it pounded in me to do the best job and keep the guy who pays your salary in good mood. Did we not instill that in our next generation? I remember squeaky wheel gets the...

We find the same story for so many companies, employees want more pay And benefits, employer has to get that money from somewhere. Share holders want more profit per share, preferred stock has to get more, money has to come from somewhere. Business has to sell off to make ends meet, or a...

I have seen companies throw brand new products in the dumpster to avoid paying taxes on physical stock on the shelves. Companies can write of everything but labor. Hard to believe people think higher minimum wage will help without thinking whee the employer will get the extra money to pay it...

Everything is the same as the model 5B the recoil part is different . A good match, thanks. Don't know what to do with it, but at least I have more info on it.

I ended up with this old sprayer from a guy who sold produce out of his place for years, but had passed away. It has John Deere name on it , a 18 gal tank and the pump is belt driven by a Briggs 3hp motor, I believe the pump is shot. Also has a recoil hose assembly mounted on the front...

Everyone should come back with a follow up so we can store that away for the next diagnostic event. That way we know if what you were told worked or why it happened. Would be nice anyway.

I tolerated all that crap until the gender thing, now it is out of hand . Have to draw the line somewhere. That stuff wouldn't fly when I was a kid. Kinda got off track, how about those sockets. Nothing is like it used to be.

I can see where you would think too much trouble for what might save. My first was a floorjack and it still works, someone stole the transmission jack adapter so i can't say. Some stuff went sky high when Covid hit like the Nitril gloves, makes them look bad claiming transportation and delivery...

Oh i have broken a lot of tools, not just from cheater bars. Some for age or cheaply made. I just threw that in for if you do try to cheat it , usually ends up like anything cheated, you lose. Always better to do the right thing, the right way.

I would be careful of Temu they have a habit of loading you up with all kinds of emails. I had a heck of a time cleaning their stuff from my email accounts. Amazon is constantly getting into more fields of stuff, you just have to do like said here, do your research. I was told when Sam died...

What is really sad is what do we do when they go all electric? They are already getting rid of ( or trying to) all the gasoline powered stuff or fossil fuel as they like to say. Even though there is proof that all the car chargers are going to run the grid dry, then what? Many of us here have...

With quality of Craftsman tools these days if you trade in a new tool for what they have now, it's broken traded for junk. Not really worth my time to see how long it will last. Most all of the tool makers are selling out to China , even Pony and S&K. Hard to find any good tools any more. Of...

I wonder if anything can be adapted to work? I have the original, but it was full of water and dirt. Kind of works, guy I got it from swears the carb is just like a Mikuni on motorcycles. I will look up those serial numbers on the unit. Thanks StarTech Sorry about the repeat seems my age...

I went with Property Maintenance for many years and it has kept me busy because people always need something done or fixed and I don't have to have a shop. Put my mechanical, electrical, and plumbing experience to good use. I have done much more plus college, but like was said here, that...

Did this ever get solved? I have a splitter doing the same thing .

Nowadays you had better know more than 1 trade. Service is the only one everybody will need ongoing. Then you find that when you retire, SSI takes Medi Care of the top of whatever you get and COL raises never keep up with inflation. And a lot of people just don't get why raising the minimum...

I would think rent or borrow several different types and see how they well they mow in your actual situation. Then decide what works best for You. Most of us can only guess as we are not working with the same factors you experience in mowing your yard. On steep hills we would add ballast to...

You might contact some of your satisfied customers and see if they would mind you using them as references. Word of mouth goes a long ways

There is something to be said about Instant Karma, ( with some help ) Hee Haw now that was awhile ago. Wasn't he selling cars? Or maybe Yaz chainsaws.

I know you came here to find a cool design and opened a can of worms. It can be a drag, but they are just trying to help. You can look all over the net for designs and different logos, or maybe you have a friend that likes to draw. Maybe try a few and see what sets you off. You can also find...

You have received some of the best information I have ever heard in my 70 years. Pay attention to copyright stuff, it does matter. The tax info is spot on, you will cringe when you see a registered letter from the IRS if you make a mistake and there is no where to hide.Like was said...

You are right, I have been working on several Husqvara walk behind self propelled that wear out the drive bearing that is NLA. Some of these are about 4-5 years old. Had to go sideways with my search, but found the bearings.

Thank you StarTech I appreciate your responding. I have looked at forums, Honda and eBay, but have no luck. The previous owner says it is like a Mikuni. If the carb had not sat with water in it might be able to salvage, but it's pretty bad. I will check the serial # maybe find something I...

I know this is a mower forum but i haven't had much luck elsewhere for a carb for a Honda G400 in a ES3500 generator? Anyone know where to look?

Soapy water best bet. Tube or not, leak will show and you really only need one side off to replace or install a tube. Usually, in my experience, any shop that does motorcycle tires can do a mower wheel.

Actually mine is rear drive. I also have a HU800H and a HD725E front wheel drive electric start. Another hard to get part is the rear door and the frame for the darn bag. The wire frame is on back order with "not available" on it. From what I am seeing most of the self propelled models use...

If you decide to keep it, beware of not being able to get parts. Many of us see the "Discontinued " or " Not available" signs everywhere. I think they are trying to force us to go electric/battery powered. Many places will take your order only to send you an email the next day refunding your...

That bearing can be ordered from amazon and is part #587070202. you won't get the snap rings or circlip so make sure you keep the old ones.

I had the bearing go out on my UH700H rear drive walk behind mower and looked everywhere for the part. Discontinued By Husqvarna, even had a few places take my order only to email me the next day with no part available. Finally found just the bearing at Amazon for about $15.00 part is...
