    Craftsman vs Stanley

    Stanley bought the trademark from Sears but in the deal, Sears can still use the name. Stanley and Sears make their own products and slap the Craftsman name on them. Safe bet you got this at Ace HW, Menards, or Lowes, etc. then it is a Stanley. As a result, each store gets items from their own...

    Old Bait and Switch happening again...

    The first American version of General Tso's chicken was in NYC. What's the difference where they are running the company from? They are still selling fried chicken and never have been making all of their chicken in Kentucky.

    Looking for Piston Rings Part 36078

    What I did was look around for an engine with a similar piston diam and go with that. I recently got a generator with a chinese motor. Being they don't sell parts for it, I measured the cyl and did what I said. It worked. Same for my 70's FS80. ps. is the motor a HH or HM? I remember a catalog...

    GREENWORKS TOOLS - after 3 1/2 years

    Kind of a tangent but being cali and others are banning gas mowers, what electric mowers do commercial mowers have to pick from? I mean Greenworks mower??? Commercial??? They would probably go through 3 each season.

    Honda hra214 engine swap with hr214

    Snapper Pro S200XT Oil Change Issue

    If money is your issue, you could just make yourself one. I mean a paint can, drill 2 holes - 1 for extraction hose, 1 for vacuum to suck the oil out into the paint can. You can get fancy and get 2 rubber grommets for the holes.

    Tecumseh LV195SE lawn mower engine won't start.

    When it DID run, does the pull cord feel the same or do u find it alot easier to pull now? With the low compression, and if it was harder to pull when it ran, maybe some dirt is holding the valve open a hair lowering the compression?!?!? Take off the cyl head and see if the valves are totally...

    Stihl Mowers

    Well, Stihl had Zenoah originally made their trimmers\blowers\etc to test the waters before making more than just chainsaws. I am not endorsing Stihl, just saying.

    Microsoft stopping support to Windows 10 today

    Just search for "block spyware" and people point out this. I collected these from several docs online. Look up the command, each line is adding a block entry in the firewall.

Also in browsing, don't use Chrome or Edge as they may have hidden spyware. Use Mosaic or Brave and get the extensions to block trackers, spyware, etc. Personally, I use...

    Honda's future in the 21 in. Battery Lawn Mowers

    I am using the results done when they tested the Ford EV pickup towing a trailer. Just look in forums. UPS, Fedex drivers report driving 100's of miles a day. Do you think Amazon doesn't deliver many things every day???

    Honda's future in the 21 in. Battery Lawn Mowers

    I have driven from Fort Worth to Chicago and back in a straight shot several times - 8am - 2am. Just stop for gas and food. No way I could do it with an EV, especially when I towed a trailer on one trip(see Ford EV with trailer made 1 charge last equal to driving 4 gallons of gas before needing...

    Government thinking ahead...

    "Biden Sends Electric Chainsaws To People (in the mountains) Without Power" Cat electric chainsaws. I'm sure they will work for 1 hour before they can throw them away. Also, I'm sure being the weekend one time logger saw is great for cutting wood 15hrs a day(if they had power).

    Any chemistry majors out there?

    It is just that i keep trying replace tubes replace whole wheels, even new tire stem, and they keep going flat in 3 months. I posted this issue before. So that's why I am going foam. So far so good- just one wheel. Being the foam works for this wagon and other stuff I put foam in, my last resort...

    Any chemistry majors out there?

    But it hardened up in every other tire I used the same foam in- including the other 3 tires in this wagon. Also, I used 1/2 a can in another tire and the rest in this one. I also squeezed and released the tire a few times to "breath" so there is fresh air inside. That's why I ask.

    Any chemistry majors out there?

    I am trying to fill my (small) wagon wheels with foam. 3 tires are fine. 1 is giving me trouble. I have used 3 cans of foam (where 1.5 fills the other wheels) but the tire is still soft. The only hardened foam is some that oozed out the holes. Some "goo" comes out as I spray more in the tire...

    Stupid problem with FS 91

    Do you have some space between the trimmer head and the body of the trimmer head? I would get a wide piece of metal 1/16"ish think min and cut a wide 9mm???(measure the thrustplate you have removed) slot on it to catch the flat spot the thrust plate fits. If you don't have any space where the...

    Snapper 21"(P216012) walk behind self-propelled trans leak

    Depends.. is the right rear wheel going to come off easily??? If the wheel is rusted on, u might have some work in front of you. If Yes, then you are past the hard part. The gear box splits in 1/2(watch out for the oil that spills out), slide the right 1/2 of the gear box off the shaft, and pry...

    Are All Snapper Push Mower Bags The Same?

    GOODBYE TO ELECTRIC

    I am not defending batteries. I just pulled a price from when I saw one at the HW store. I am trying to show how battery mowers are more expensive in the long run. I mention I still have\use 1970's/80's gas mowers. That's why I challenge EV people show me a car with the original battery in 20...

    GOODBYE TO ELECTRIC

    I might as well say my car doesn't use any gas just because I'm not driving it right now. It is pretty lame to tell me it is cheaper by ignoring certain costs and not comparing apples to apples. I replied to your post on your electric mower. I never dragged your car into the conversation. "30...

    GOODBYE TO ELECTRIC

    What you leave out is the $500 for replacement batteries then $3000 when you have to replace the whole mower because they don't sell the batteries any more. I have my 80's mower with original engine. I got it free back in the 90's so my cost- 0+ gas. No way I have used $3000 in gas yet. If you...

    My Friend got ripped off by the Dealer.

    I notice the shops don't really open up the item to accurately diagnose the problem. Some of the best is a Kawasaki ignition came loose and jammed the flywheel. Moved it back and done... if they just turned it by hand and noticed something is hitting something else and it is not inside the...

    Cost of replacing batteries

    What cracks me up is I still have and use my 80's Snapper with Wisconsin engine and an 80's Ariens with Tecumseh motor. I think the push to electric is the makers know elec mowers won't last anywhere close to a good gas mower so they will have to buy a new one every 3 years. That means...
