I could have dual use, like cough medicine.

I mowed some more trails off today.

We opted for a 20 year old Speed Queen for about $100 cheaper than a new washing machine. That was about 3 years ago.

Glock 19 Gen 3 in a Glock 17 holster. It's pretty comfortable.

Sounds like a bill collection agency.

Water in fuel?

Key point. If rad inlet hose is hot, check the air temp coming out of the fan (watch fingers). If there is a "goodly" amount of heat coming out, the coolant is flowing properly. If no heat out of back of fan with rad inlet hose hot, then there is low or no flow.

Could be a bad water pump or lots of scale built up in the radiator. Someone may be using tap water for the coolant mix.

My owner's manual states that after the first 50 hours, change the engine oil and filter every 400 hours. I figure that must be a typo.

I mowed off a few hilly trails in the back 40.

The weather forecast said I had about 90 minutes to get some trails mowed. About 30 minutes in, there was a deluge. I put my phone in the plastic toolbox to keep it dry. Hosed the mud and grass off before putting tractor back in barn.

WD40 and grease rags.

We had a ~1920s dairy barn and concrete silo that were taken out by a tornado on 4/3/74 (super outbreak day). The remnants are still piled up over the hill from the barn.

I was having problems getting consistent spark on an old Honda rototiller during daylight hours. When the area was dark, I could see better consistent spark. I probably have a gummed up carb.

My son's right side ball joint popped out, luckily in the driveway. We managed to lift the front end and tow it to where he can work on it. The closest and less steep route was through the field.
