I prefer to use common sense knowing that parts have not mated when new. To get the best life, an engine should be run gently early on.

How would you know that the internals are identical? If you ever talked to anyone that tried to supply product to Walmart, then you would know that the buyers will try to beat every nickle out of the price. It is possible that batteries are a product that is of reduced quality. I had two...

A sure method, on nearly all 4 cycle engines ever made, is to choose a valve, turn the engine till it fully opens, mark the flywheel or pulley and then give it one more turn. This will put the valve lifter opposite the cam lobes highest point and on the base circle. Adjust and repeat for all...

Did a search in the B users manual and "bio" is not found. It says "No. 2-D SI5 diesel fuel" and I don't know how much bio can be in that standard.

Like I said, read the laws for the two states involved in the purchase. Just because the vehicle isn't being registered doesn't exempt the transaction from use tax, at least where I live. We can usually get away with avoiding the tax when there is no need to buy a license or title but be...

You better read the laws in both states before depending on that savings. In PA they don't care if you are from another planet, sales tax is required. If you do buy in a no sales tax state and bring it into PA, USE tax is to be paid, of course you need to report the transaction. 😉

For 2022, it appears that Kubota will be offering a grill guard for a good price. Hopefully they will be backwards compatible for previous years. See this video about upcoming things, brush guard is at 7:40.

Absolutely, but fun anyway. Punching a huge hole in the ground and not disturbing a blade of grass ain't gonna happen.

#2 is ready for the recycle bin, the others need inspection to see if they are usable. The entire engine needs to be inspected, especially the crankshaft and the cylinders, if you don't have the tools or expertize, see a local engine rebuilding shop.

While the most intrusive species of ladybugs did come from China, the idiots in the Dept. of Agriculture brought them here. A native of eastern Asia, the multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, was introduced into the United States by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as a...

Good use for a green tractor, it matches the grass and keeps the cattle out.

Not all Fedex trucks are equal, there are several different services. Look at the logo and you might see different colors and wording. Some of the trucks may be private contractors.

We pay taxes to have the police enforce the laws. Since the exhaust noise laws are universally ignored, when do we get the money back?

You didn't say how the crack will be repaired.

Here is a long term study on your favorite snake oils in gasoline engines. This is the conclusion video, there are a number preceding this. I do use Power Service products in my Ford diesel for lubricity purposes, those Bosch fuel pumps can fail and it is a MAJOR expense to repair.

If you like to pay premium prices for shoddy workmanship, have at it. I have a tool & die shop and have produced a considerable amount of parts over many years and never delivered anything with burrs. If you have no idea about quality, maybe comments aren't in order.

Did yours have sharp edges and burrs all around the plate? The hooks are not tumbled near long enough and he won't change the process to make them right. The burrs are a hazard and they also bite into the paint, if you file them off, well there goes the plating.

To capture the bugs, mix a good squirt of dish washing liquid with water in a container, then hold the container under them since they are stupid enough to let themselves drop. The soap prevents them from floating and they drown. For less stink, use toilet bowl cleaner that has bleach instead...

If you want the grass roots to run deep, you will need the leaves to get tall. I would wait till it gets real ugly before cutting the first time. My thought is that one mowing about the end of the month is all you need.

I have the cheap screen type from a big box store. They last 8 to 10 years and work rather well except for pine needles sticking thru them. The pine needle problem only causes me a problem on one gutter next to a pine tree. I see no need to pay the big bucks for the highly advertised type...
