warnings? Oil does no self combust. The warnings ( such as they are) are as to Oxygen curing oils like treated linseed oil which being exothermic, does generate some heat as it cures. However warnings aside, I've never seen it get hot enough to matter. The youtuber Bourbon Moth Faked a...

once long long ago craftsman was as good as Snap On now is is shit pure shit

In linux open GNU image manipulator open the image in the top drop down menu select image then from the drop down scale image then in the dialog box input a larger number. It's similarly easy in photoshop but I haven't used it in maybe 10 years so I forget. I threw all microsoft and...

No one in the USA thinks that. We all know that we have let manufacturing slip away and our manufacturing is all but non existent. And it is all because of one thing. Just the one thing. Some time in the 70s we started sourcing US military hardware from foreign suppliers. That began the...

It's not investors. And interestingly it is the LAW~!! Th officers and directors of all publicly traded corporations owe a fiduciary duty to the shareholders. The duty is enforceable at law. If they don't hold true to the duty they can be sued in a derivative shareholders action and...

do you know when this happened? when the switch for Stihl specifically occurred?

I can honestly say that the number of times I've started any of my saws any other way than dropping 'em could be counted on my fingers. Well Throwing is more like, I gotta heave my 440 magnum good and hard. never had any problems starting my 036; that saw is a dream. I even toss my little...

Them Thar Stihl Engineers must a' let the kids do the engineerin' on take your five year old to work day.

check the cutter's drive belt & everything else in the drive circuit

I wonder how much extra power it consumes and how much more slowly you have to go to let it do the job?

leaf blower it is then. Thanks guys

I have just a wee bit of trouble lifting my Ferris 48" zero turn with one hand while hosing the underside of the deck off. Do you use a wash port? A power washer? How do you get all the crap out from under AND while I'm at it, do you deal with the grass build up on top of the deck with...

works~!!! Thanks~!! Now I gotta figure out how to prime the hydraulic pump

thanks. the diode allows power to flow only one way to prevent battery drain down then. Hadn't thought of that. I had it connected to the battery terinal before but for reasons I can not explain I was blowing the five amp fuse. I am guessing I had a ground in the wrong place. I'll find out...

Long story short, I replaced a starter solenoid, but I took it apart so long ago that I don't remember how to connect all the wires. So I Was unable to start the engine. BUT I do have a manual and it shows how to connect all but one. Thanks, Manual~!! It's a Briggs 11.5 Engine, model 21R807...

Had a similar issue. Turned out a wire passing through a sheet metal housing had rubbed itself bare and was arcing against the metal shorting and blowing fuses.

thanks I', inquiring for a friend who thinks she wants a gravely. I'd rather she get a ferris but hey~~~~

Whatever you know, your experience, the good, the bad, the ugly? Repairs? Hows it do when you hit rocks? thx

how long have you had it? Is the deck stamped or welded? Can it mow at full speed? How is it on hills?

Any one know a thing about it? Gravely was the Cats meow in the 50s a d 60s and then dropped from sight. Now they are back in the zero turn business with a 4 year warranty. Know anything about 'em?

There's a guy on the interwebs with a video of a rig he made with no welder that holds his angle grinder at the same angle all the time. Look for that. maybe it'll help

Yes~!!! I've done it with flap discs That's a horrid way to go. I hate flap discs. I've done it on my milling machine. Get good result but the tooling is expensive and the vibration from the thin blade material shortens tool life. I've done it with a 10" grinding wheel and water drip cooling...

Thought I'd pass this along. My mower wouldn't start in the spring. IT was blowing fuses The switch was pretty crappy so I replaced it. It was still blowing fuses. The PTO fuse blew once and the Charger circuit fuse blew every time I ran it. And of course, the battery was not being charged. I...

I got these shear bolts from Amazon supposedly they are Honda Spec. The bolt head says 88 JH https://www.amazon.com/10-Sets-product_by-partsforless1350-9221963857458/dp/B01M4FHR2A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516920802&sr=8-1&keywords=honda+shear+bolts they are not identical to the ones I got...

Ferris 1500 nice suspension but I screwed up my lower back ( L1 & 2 pinched nerve) and I'm thinking about a seat conversion. The ZTR puffer looks like a contender. Any one using an air ride? How do you like it? What's the additional seat height do to you? I could easily put in risers...

So I know what type and how much oil. I found the little rubber hose in it's little trap and got it loose but there is one issue. The manual says to do it warm. BUT the bleeding stinkin muffler is blistering hot and I can't reach in from behind to pull the hose down to the rear and down to...

Really? Yah, I saw a set in a Tractor Supply for under $40 and wondered how one sharpens them and how they deal with rocks. Package said they stay sharp longer. Then what? I worked with carbide for decades as a machinist/toolmaker and I know that you can't get a decent edge using those...

The underpowered model http://www.scag.com/OpManuals/SSZ/95SSZOPMAN/95SSZOPMANcomplete.pdf Does any one know where the oil sensor is? The nanual shows it tucked arey insife the declivity by the oil level dip stick port. http://www.kohlerengines.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/52_590_03.pdf Page 4...

I am trying to find the oil sensor. The mower is the older underpowered scag 48" rider with the 18 hp kohler Magnum vertical shaft. I have the manual but the images are so poor that I can't make anything out. Oddly no mention is made of the oil sensor. On the manual for the horizontal shaft...
