    One piece gasket or RTV for a rotary tiller gearbox cover?

    Thx folks. I may try to add RTV as mentioned to a factory gasket. Upon further investigation, the times of my Tiller must have picked up a rock and sheared off the backend of one of these cover bolts, which also bent the metal a bit, so I will need a little bit of extra help from that RTV to...

    MX4800 won’t start

    Thx folks! The battery was fine, and the issue was corrosion in the signal wire connector. It is a lot easier to troubleshoot during daylight hours and when it isn’t raining! crazy how it decided to give up in the middle of a project and not after sitting unused for an extended period of time.

    4x4 golf carts / electric UTV?

    Thanks folks, lots of good suggestions! I had no idea how much of a price premium they have on the electric UTVs which put them out of my range. I may just pick up a used golf cart with a bed and see how that works for us or a used Mule and make a little noise.
