    G5200 clogged block?

    I flushed first to remove loose sediment then some CLR. Have to get the loose stuff out first, check your temps, then move to chemicals if needed. Flush the radiator as well. BTW, CLR can help you find small leaks you didn't know about.

    G5200 clogged block?

    Broke mine as well. The drain is made if really soft metal that eventually seems to rot away from the inside out. Small drill bits twisting by hand to clean or a small bore brush in a drill. Take it easy. There was enough material left from the old drain to tap some threads in it and install a...

    G1800s Front wheel removal, How to?

    Don't know if yours would still have that ring I mentioned. It was used to keep the bearings from being pressed too far in.

    G1800s Front wheel removal, How to?

    Yeah, had one like that too. Just don't beat the axel because it will mushroom just looking at it. Do you have a heat gun? The one I had stuck I also removed the spiral clip ring from the outboard bearing and that gave the wheel some moving room back and forth. Once you get started your...

    G1800s Front wheel removal, How to?

    Remover cotter pin and clean any grease. Small file or sandpaper and re-taper the end. This should help get rid of rust and where someone innits past used a hammer on it and flattened it out.

    LB400 electricial wire fire. Need to fix

    Judging from the pile of blue electrical tape and the household wire nut it looks like someone has already tried to fix that. Unless you deal with cutting and replacing wires all day (I do) get a harness and take it to someone. Or like he said above take lots of pictures and be careful hooking...

    Things you'd never seen

    What's wrapped around your front tires? Was it to keep from scuffing the concrete or chewing up grass in tight turns? BTW, nice counter weight.

    Nylon protective sleeve

    This was my #1 understanding as well. Had a line blow on a zero turn and this helped control the high pressure release. Seen it

    Ticks!

    Went to the dermatologist today, she wanted to know why my primary care didn't give me Doxycycline. She ordered that script and burned off several pre cancerous spots on my head at the same time. You all be safe out there.

    Ticks!

    Go get tested, I just got tested again myself. Results not in yet though but a lot of bullseye sores. No fever and lymph nods are normal. Digestive system is jacked up right now for two weeks. I got all my ticks this time 4 weeks ago. I already have Alpha Gal from Longstar ticks and don't need...

    Turbine oil SAE 80

    I was curious about the mil numbers and such dealing with turbine engine oils at work. The stuff "expires" and I love anything I can reuse.

    Grass catcher mods for T1600

    This one is AGM separaters (only described on the battery label) but many other batteries are now going L-ion as well. Aircraft batteries have come a long way. I'll take the half used take outs all day if they fit what I need.

    Grass catcher mods for T1600

    They can last 8 years (or longer) in an aircraft, mine are used about 3 to 5 years and the owner has a flight school. No time for slow starts. The capacity is awesome compared to standard batteries.
