I bought a brand new Toro Super Recycler with Kohler engine two years ago and used it one year. I kept it clean, changed the oil, greased the drive, etc. Unfortunately, I've had to move into an apartment (ex-wife issues). The mower has sat in storage since last spring, I dumped out the gas...

Figured this was as good a place as any to post, since it's not mowing. As posted elsewhere, I had a power washer with the Honda GC160 engine (ex has it now). Based on that machine, I'm looking for one that is easier to start washing with, the Honda was so lean it wouldn't spray until it was...

I will be moving to a "country setting" this year. My dream place is a small house with a large detached garage. My hobbies include blacksmithing/welding, woodworking and vehicle maintenance. I need about 3 generous stalls with overhead doors for access, lighting and ventilation. I don't...
