Someone asked me one time if I smoked after sex. I told them "I don't know - I never looked".

soifitypelikethisthatwouldbeokbecausethis isn'tanenglishclassit'salawnmowerforum? Seriously - it makes it easier for the reader to understand what you're saying. A little extra effort on your part so 10 or 15 people don't have to spend the same extra effort each to read it. Also, there are...

A personal request: When you post, please use sentence punctuation and capitalization. Not readily knowing where sentences end and begin makes it more tedious to read and understand, and increases likelihood of confusion about what is being explained. Thanks.

On the "D5" Stihl screw thread designation, I think you're past needing the information, but I tried to find an answer out of curiosity. I couldn't find a clear definitive explanation, but it appears Stihl bolt part numbers starting with "D" are self-tapping screws typically used for...

Nice thread! A lot of good info. I have a little tear in my eye from the camaraderie. 👍 Most blade sharpening instructions I have seen specifically mention rounding the sharpened edge somewhere between (IIRC) 1/32 and 1/16 radius. I'm thinking that an advantage to that is less inadvertent...

"Yes. I see now that you did request the measurement in post #57. But, there is no sense in talking about considering getting a shorter belt until the OP does make that measurement..." I did end post #57 with: "I'd suggest that once you've re-verified *all* of the above, *then* go to the...

Why would you genuflect? That would be weird. Take my comments at face value and don't read anything into them. Have a good day.

"...or the snowblower is not installed totally in sync with the tractor." That is a possibility too. However, you're out of sync with the thread! 😁 The OP mis-spoke in his first post about having a 60" belt. As he later stated, he in fact has the M158130 belt (he included photos of the...

This thread has been around the barn at least a couple of times, but no resolution. You say you're routing the belt correctly. OK. (One poster suggested being sure the tensioner is not flipped in the wrong direction - not sure that is even possible, but have you verified that that is not the...

My comment is moot for this particular project since contact cement apparently saves time, BUT in general for plastics and rubbery parts, I generally use silicone grease vs. petroleum based greases) for less chance of material incompatibilities/reactions.

A spammer that joined this morning. He posted in another thread too and has been reported from that thread. In the future, that's what that "Report" button is for at the bottom of each post. Hit it in the post that is the SPAM post. 🍻

I think you had a brain fart, 1.5mm = 0.060"
