    HRX2174VKA air cleaner box (17220-ZM0-030)

(17220-ZM0-030) It arrived in short order, I think 2 days. So I remove the 2 long bolts that hold it...

    HRX217VKA is like a yard vacuum!

    Yesterday I did my annual spring cleanup here in central MA. I started with the usual light raking to get up some of the snow moss (or whatever it's called, kind of a white spider web looking coating on the lawn) maple helicopters and light thatch. Not much thatch came up, so I picked it up by...
