The sad thing is ,after doing all that work, you won't get a lot of heat out of the collector. Very little surface area for the sun to heat up. BTDT 25 years ago. went with proper flat 'corrugated' panels ( 3 x 4x12 units ) to heat my 15' above ground.it'd easily heat to 84*F on a sunny day.

How did you figure $4K for batteries? Two car batteries in series, might be $300, 2 12v chargers maybe $100.

I don't cut grass in the winter, so no need to spend more $$ on synthetic. Yes, I ram SAE30 in my 2N and 8N, again never used in winter.

yeesh, if they don't know their left form they're right..they should NOT be driving !

hmm, on small boats the driver is on the right, er starboard side..... just to add to the cornfusion....

curious ,looked at the TEMU unit....it's actually Vevour brand. I bet allof them red,orange,yellow, green, blue, black are made in the same factory in China. At $239 CDN not a bad deal. even has 2" rcvr on it.

you chain the 3PH 'down' to the axle.

the SSQA frame is only 100# and it's benefits surpass the little loss of payload capacity. NOT having to deal with lining up 4 pins,sometimes several times in a day is a blessing !

In 8 years, only had FEL off once, to have bad factory weld repaired, properly. It is easy IF you're on level ground and tires have same air pressure. Google for homemade dollies,bet several post how they built theirs. You'll need a good amount of space to store it ! Big casters(4") will help in...

with 'big' boys, you pull the finals.......

I still do 'Proof of Concept' designs using microcontrollers . I can order(buy) them from a local distributor 45 miles away, pay for shipping and 13% taxes, get them in 3 days.....OR... order free samples and wait a week, as the parts come from Thailand-->India--> Germany-->Hamilton..to me...

it's the operation you have to do to replace the clutch. You 'split' the engine from the transmission....

check with 'wheelchair' service centers ! they use 24 volt ! Have 2 on the shelf, gifts that I've never used. if you want to make your own.... 16 volt, 10 amp power transformer, bridge rectifier 100v,20A , and 10,000 mfd/50v cap would be the 'basic' power supply.

do you have the correct blades for bagging ? I know Cub Cadet ( MTD lke your troybilt) have 'high lift ' blades for bagging mowers.

3PH isn't always used, especially on a TLB. My BX23S has never had the 3PH installed on it,in 8 years. Still in the box though it was part of the deal I made. Some TLBs never had a place to connect a 3PH,decades ago.
