That's great! Glad you got it working!

Same here.

My well played out years ago, so had to get on city water. Not having to use city sewer keeps my bill low.

I like it! Plenty of storage, plus I wouldn't have to scoot my coffee table closer to recliner to actually use it.

Not sure of gallons per month, but our water bill is somewhere between $28 to $35/month.

Wish I could mow! Been too wet to mow now for over a week and grass is crazy wooly. And even when I mowed several days ago grass was so wet the deck was sending out mist with the grass. Deck had to be cleaned afterwards as it was clogged with wet grass. Needed cleaned during mowing!

I noticed from another post that one Satoh tractor does use 80w oil for it's transmission, BUT it has a small separate oil supply for the hydraulic system and uses 10w to 20w for it. Typically a transmission without a consolidated hydraulic system does not have a filter. So I'm thinking when...

80/90 gear oil is NOT for a hydraulic/transmission system....way too thick! You need hytran fluid. You must dump all that 80/90 oil which will drain slow, so allow 24hrs to drain it well. Use clean original containers so you might be able to use it appropriately.

Planning to put propane conversion on my largest generator soon, but propane tank is about 75' from where I want my generator, so have to bury a line, and no idea when I'll have the time.

Years ago I bought a power seeder at a Brinly research shop surplus auction in Indiana just across the river from Louisville KY. Was missing the blades shaft but adapted one from another make. Never used it in the over 15+ years I've had it, but intend to soon, as a big patch in my yard is...

Even as a. Ford guy, I love that Ole GMC!

Dad could fire that V4 by hand in an instant if the battery was low, or starter acting up, but Dad had brute strength! He kept that engine tuned so good that I never seen him have any trouble firing it up. I rode that MF50 right side fender from 4yrs old on. Before my days his balers had twin...

I have a couple hundred bales worth of old straw bales that either mice ate strings, were baled to loose, or whatever that need to be re-baled. My old New Holland 276 "Hayliner" baler hasn't been used in 12 years or more, but has been in out of the weather. I'd say if I cleaned it up and...

I have one and it heats plenty hot in 3 to 4 seconds! They do a fine job bonding broken plastics for sure! I also bought the paddle iron and plastic sticks to further seal by melting in a layer of plastic over where I joined the broken plastic if a fuel or oil tank.

Check that oil for smell of fuel. That engine likely has a vacuum fuel pump on side of carb, and if a pinhole in it, fuel goes into oil. I have a Murray to work on, but a big 17.5 single cylinder. I like your engine type.
