I guess once you start using one brand of anything, the numbers and what they fit, are a lot easier to recognize. I think at one time, I was going to switch to only NGK, but for some reason, probably a sale or something, I ended up with a bunch of autolite and stens plugs. I don't even...

It looks like I'm going to have to weld extensions onto the Briggs tail pipes and go with the muffler that came with the Kohler. That's the only way to get the muffler mounting plate bolted in the right direction, and the hood mounting rod back in and the pipes deep enough to go into the...

I have a lot of those plugs.

Ok, good. Trying to find a cross reference to this, was insane for some reason. I'm thinking they need to narrow the amount of plugs down to something reasonable. I bet NGK, has a 1000 different ones. Same as the other brands.

Will the BKR5ES work?

Not a thing. I was grinning from ear to ear when I seen it. :D:D:D

How are the plugs holding up? I'm out of the RC12YC's, but have some of these BKR5ES's. Also, what's the gap for the BKR's? .30?

I was looking for a match to the RC12YC on Stens, it said something about how it's been changed to some other number. "RC12YC is no longer available and has been superseded to 130526"

After buttoning up a few things, It fired up and ran smooth as a kitten. I couldn't test drive it because the seat safety switch needs to be done away with. All of them, in fact. And I'm going to have to find a different size drive belt. But the alternator, at high idle was charging the...

The older we get, seems the harder it is to lose a friend. I lost two good friends last year. People that you'd actually call a friend. In my time, I've only had 4 actual friends. They leave a void in your life when they pass. We find ourselves having to think about what they would do in...

Imagine, someone pawned this over a spark plug. Good find.

I like the almost automatic chain tensioner on this.

Even this guy has to give it a whack.

Yes, yours and mine are hex.

I generally don't get this lucky. Note my pessimism.. :);) I'm a firm believer in "If it's too good to be true, then it probably is."

The shape of the part that actually crimps (on yours) is the same shape as mine. Maybe it's just the picture and my eyes, but I don't see any indented place on the "properly crimped" connector.

It's better to flatten out the connector (using what ever), than to leave it crimped but still in a round shape, right?

M# LGT2654 Product # 960450047 S# 061815A031116 Briggs 407777 0274 G5 It used to have a Kohler twin cylinder on it. But switching to a Briggs from a JD. This is just going to be for pulling a yard trailer. No electric PTO anymore or deck, since the Brigg's has the smaller crank, from a JD...

Well, I'm just not impressed with the crimpers. Using the connectors that came with it, the first two didn't crimp worth a hoot. Even using the smallest crimp size I ended up using my hammer. I think I'll try putting a nail between the connector and the crimper next time. (using that size)

My back yard slopes to the middle from 3 directions. The middle of those slopes, it slopes slightly to the south. It should drain the back yard. But on the edge of the south side, there's a hump, that won't allow the back yard water to drain. I'm trying to decide if I want to bury...

I do have a question about battery cable. Which is better, a lot of very thin wires together, or fewer thick wires.

I just got this in today. Can't wait to try it out. Donny Boy was showing this in one of his video's and recommended it. This is one tool I'll hardly ever use. But man, it looks good in my tool box. Cable Lug Crimping Tool with 170pcs Copper Wire Lugs and 210pcs Heat Shrinkable Tube, Wire...

Yeah I did. (patting myself on the back) It was the first time I'd mowed the landlords yard. I got in and out of the pond without them even know it. Was afraid if they caught me, they wouldn't even let me fix it. 3 oil changes later, removing the carb bowl, draining the gas tank (luckily...

That time I slid into a pond, on a zrt, The only thing sticking out of the water was the top of the front wheel (the left one). I could've used an outboard to at least get the engine above the carb. I was a nervous wreck, because it was the landlords mower. I was soooooo glad to have the...

I always forget to shut the the water off. Now I have this! It might look alarming but, This is a brand NEW gas head. $40 for the handle and components. When it's full- it shuts off just like at a gas pump. I set it in a U bolt and walk away. No more messy paddock when I forget! EDIT: to...

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer. The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking. My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said, "Nothing." The reason I said "nothing" instead of saying "just thinking" is...

Not a bad idea. https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=2939172492886311

Donny addresses some really good points that some of us have to deal with. Getting stuck with equipment, and not even getting paid for the diagnosis. After getting burned a few times, and left with junk, I started taking upfront money on all new customers. And a few shady repeat customers.

And there were no aftermarket parts available due to patent rights. OEM's were on backorder. It'll take 4 weeks for a new one to arrive. :p

You're lucky. Because replacing the cam is a major teardown.

Those multiple problems with one issue can turn into a real headache. Test something fails, fix that and the test still fails because it wasn't just the one thing you fixed. All that head scratching leads to a bald spot.

High speed tillers? LMAO.. These things go faster than my mower. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1146577666483068

Check out this picture of Dealey Plaze in Dallas. Before the roads were build going under the train tracks.

So that's where the bolt went to.

What are the chances? https://www.facebook.com/watch?v=985657663263424

Back when I was trucking, I'd bring loaded trailers home. My first time, I got my trailer stuck because I backed it a little too far into my pasture. Cost me $200 for the wrecker to pull me about 4ft.

The door panels???? LMAO....... There comes a time, like within 30 seconds of spinning the tires, you know you're not going to go anywhere. And doing anything else is only going to make it worse. For some it takes a few minutes.

Several years ago, I got my Bronco stuck in the pasture. I was simply going to let it set there until it was safe to drive out. Well, my sons had a party at the house one night. All his friends had these jacked up 4X4 diesel trucks. So I jokingly said, maybe one of these guys can pull out...

When I'm wearing pants, you can't see my knee scar. lol

I was about to buy some NBR fuel line (Amazon), and thought I'd check out the reviews. Then I found this video. Only after 9 months, (of mostly sitting) it's already cracking. My normal fuel line I get from Stens in on back order. No telling how long it'll be before it gets in. So I'm...

Well, apparently this Husqvarna has two different ID's on each side of the rim. So only one bearing fits. The inside. The outside of the wheels ID, is about 1 1/4. I can't find .75 X 1.25 bearings anywhere. Everyone and their dog has 1 3/8ths ID. Update. Scratch all that. Those other...
