For me, the killer is Virginia humidity. The station I get diesel at is low sulfur, non-bio stuff. The humidity here sometimes to so bad that water puddled on the seat inside a three sided tent (dirt floor). I tried to keep the tank full to the brim to limit the amount of 'breathing' but I still...

Spell check is computer/phone specific. If spell check does not like a word, a right click will let you add it to the dictionary.

I have (hopefully had) gunk, algae as the tractor was in a three sided tank for ten years, humidity was awful. Filter near the tank clogged three times and now I have a remote filter (no more crawling under, clamping lines, ect).I'd used a strong dose of biocide and hope I was just getting the...

4WD 99% of the time is a godsend. Bagging clippings, you have to deal with the powerhead. A rear PTO mount keeps the tractor more narrow.The GR (like the green) hang it off of the side) A mower has a significantly tighter turning radius. A tractor is generally more versatile. I use the FEL A...

I had to leave mine on dirt once, cement block and boards on top. Tolerable. The only real issue is you have to drive the tractor to get those bottom pins to line up, a bit of a PITA. What takes five minutes with the dolly takes 30 minutes inching about and hoping off to see I am close. Repeat...

BS is our landline provider. Wires are so bad, most of the time you cannot hear anyone. Getting them to fix it is impossible. Terrible company. They have fiber near my house but I'll only use them if one day, I have no choice. Did I mention, BS is a terrible company?

While true, if it is dead, and the seller not able (or willing) to repair the price a buyer pays should be based on the worse case scenario. 'Just needs a head gasket', 'Just needs a carb cleaning', just needs a new spark plug', all to me mean it needs a complete engine rebuild or why else...

My rule with any machine is, if it just needs 'x' and the seller could fix it and get a lot more for it, why don't they?

Any SnapOn dealer is supposed to swap out tools to solve the problem, no matter where you got the tool. The dealer, sadly, often eats the cost as that is how SnapOn runs the show. Worn out screwdriver tips, the dealer eats the cost of a new shank but the markup is so high, it is a minimal loss...

Chuck will let you know when he is ready and has a minute.

Sad but true. Customer service and such is a disappearing reality. I recently bought a tool, had a question, talked to the engineer. He said, you probably need 'X', when he looked up the price, he said it is cheaper to buy a complete tool!!!! When I was in the automotive business, working for...

Finally got what I needed and finished it. Took to the gas station and filled with Diesel. Getting it in and out of the truck was easy, my tie downs held it secured. I did clip the grounding clamp to my truck. The pump has its' own ground to the fueling station tank. The pump is grounded via an...

We were out for 18 hours Monday/Tuesday. First time in 18 months, first use of our automatic (Kohler) system Flawless. Genset is behind an outbuilding and the sound is barely perceptible at the house. Only way to tell it is running is the eight second start time to switch over and the messages...

I have a Kohler 26Kw propane automatic. 1,000 gallon tank. Consumption seems acceptable. Of course, once installed no outages since... prior to this, I had a 22Kw gasoline Generac 'portable (500 pounds portable!!!), used over 20 gallons of gasoline a day, power outages at least once a year for...
