Pop up and ad blockers work very well. The issue I've had lately is the site sometimes wants me to enable 3rd party cookies to log in. Other times it doesn't matter. I won't enable them so I just go on to something else. When I come back it might let me in.

When time is money, McMaster Carr has greasable bolts..

OK, I think u understand what you are saying now. The pedal is useless when rolling backwards? That does seem really strange.

Calling it "unsafe" is a stretch. Operating a tractor is unsafe. You shouldn't park on a hill unless the machine is perpendicular. Never rely on a parking brake on any incline, Will the brakes hold the machine if you have your foot on the pedal? May just need adjustment. Can't say I can get my...

Welcome! Glad you got the bugs worked out of your Killer B!

Drove a rental Camry hybrid in NV for a week in April. It was DEFINITELY noticeable. I also don't like the lack of heat or AC when the gas engine is not running.
