A snark...

Ummm... You do understand that this thread is about REPAIRING lawn equipment???

It's kind of like blowing snow. You may have to spray every time.

Oh, now I see... Thanks

I don't pretend to be any sort of mechanic, and am poor at diagnosis. I fix my own stuff out of necessity, but have some good friends to try to guide me.

What's an Al Gore carb?

Look at your dinner plate. Chickens lay eggs...

Get your mind out of the gutter... There's no room for me!!!!

Bottle says 1oz/gal. It didn't fix my problem. The carb was clean when I took it apart. I cleaned it anyway, and replaced the fuel filter. It had been on for a couple years anyway. When that didn't work, I looked at the electrical stuff. I found a bad coil. Plugs had weak spark, but only ran on...

I have a feeling that a carb cleaning is in my near future.

Funny, but my cub 782 started running rough about 3/4 of the way through mowing today. So I tried some berrymans, but at the levels they specified on the label. We'll see what happens.

I am familiar with seafoam and berrymans. Haven't used berrymans, but will try it. I am always looking for things to use if they are effective at fixing a problem, that's why I asked if it was a maintenance type thing or not. I do use mmo in my fuel for all my small engines except for 2 stroke fuel.

Is that something you recommend for a maintenance type use? Maybe a lesser amount of Dexron ATF?

What's wrong with doing laundry, mopping floors and watering the house plants? I do that, and all the "manly" stuff. I had a mother that taught me how to take care of myself and any family I may have.

I have the same one! It does work great!

I inherited my dad's 782 Cub cadet. I will keep it running as long as I can!

Yeah the wife's truck usually gets the spa treatment... I'm too busy with chores to do my own.

Get a cat.

I use a leaf blower. They are also great for blowing water off your car after a wash. It reduces water spots

Your cellphone camera is your friend on that stuff.

So according to your logic, no one except certain trained people should work on mowers? Some of us have knowledge in other areas, too. So when you ask for help, don't complain when you are told off... I like the techs here, but they do get frustrated with inexperienced people...

Haha... You guys are funny! 🤣 I know you see the worst of the worst as repair techs. But as you know, my point is that you don't see everything even when you do it all right. But those damn weeds, they just tease me!!!!!!!

I do walk the yard, but sometimes miss something or get too close to the stone driveway. I've heard many old timers mow their stones...

They are different at all liquor stores...

I have the old cone. I try to get it as close as I can, but some seem to want perfection. I've done well, but am far from perfect. But I get a nice mow, and haven't ruined anything yet...

What I was thinking. As long as there is no vibration, should be ok... I think some of the posters expect balance weights down to the gram!!!

I'm not talking boulder... Small stone, maybe something else... You may never know... Who mows without something finding the blades that isn't grass?

Do they need to be absolutely perfect? The first time you hit a rock or other object is likely to throw it out anyway. I'd say get it good and close so there isn't vibration. But it really isn't absolutely critical to be perfect... Now I understand some of you are being sarcastic ( please...

Does the dye need to be flushed from the engine or hydraulic system? I have a seeping leak on my cub 782, and can't pinpoint it

Did you try a new plug for 💩 and giggles? Sometimes it works...

I was involved with automating a pellet mill when I worked for Cargill in the 90's. We also added a new batching panel, switching from a WEM system to repete... Repete also tied the pellet mill into the batching system. It was an adventure, and production never stopped.

It took 4 months to get my equipment, but only a deposit of $99. It's an easy hookup and good trouble free service. For an extra $30/mo you can have it mobile. I'm considering that if we want to take it camping...

Starlink is owned by Elon Musk. Satellite Internet with high speed. I got it for $120/mo. Hughes net was charging the same for a slooooow metered connection. And yes, I have a broadband cable right across the street, and I am as rural as it gets. But all the developments in both directions are...

Have you looked into Starlink? I moved from upstate NY to the Eastern shore of Maryland, and we have broadband cable strung, but cannot access a public cable... Funny but the guy a mile down the road works for Xfinity, and they have cable... I suffered with slow satellite until I discovered...

I'm from upstate NY, where they send a lot of refugees due to people leaving. There is a large Bosnian population, so I understand the language barrier. But OP is just not using any sort of skill in typing. OP's problem is not a language barrier. I'll leave that right there...

I'm surprised you could even communicate with OP. My 8 yr old grandson can spell better...

Yeah that makes the most sense, but I'm sure the dog begs to differ...

You know, harbor freight has really cheap wall mounts for the TV... I bought the telescopic version for my RV. It works well, and only needs a bungee cord to keep it in place for travel.

What did you throw at it?

Can we rename this the TDS thread? TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME

The NY trial was a kangaroo court. That will not stand, although he will be forced to go to the Supreme Court for justice. New York State screwed itself with this partisan "trial". Nobody will do business there now. Glad I moved out!

I have seen shit like that. It's insane what emergency work brings you. But still, the cop has to be the adult in the room on most calls. Usually they have to mediate childish stuff all day. The job should come with training on what you can and can't ask for in situations. After all, they work...

With the power you can get out of a V8, and power adders,who really needs a V10 other than maybe a huge construction machine?

Ford and Dodge have had V10 's. Not recently, but they have.

I may argue politics with Bert and others, but the know their powered equipment of all types. You may want to reconsider your comment...

They may be "trouble makers" but they are right about the laws. I have known many police officers, sheriff deputies, and state troopers. Most are good, but the badge doesn't give them super powers to demand more than the law allows. They should know the laws they are tasked with ENFORCING...

I've had the misfortune of living in NY and MD. I know about not having my preferred candidate win...

I believe ESPN had mentioned gang activity in an article. I don't jump to conclusions. That gets people in trouble. What cracks me up is the lengths you and bert go to to try to prove something I said wrong. I don't need to lie, or somehow distort the truth. You guys live to promote a narrative...

I hear ya there! Feed salesmen were the worst at providing info to the plant and drivers. It created many chitty situations!!!

Wow! Someone as intelligent as you claim to be, indoctrinated into the US democratic party idiocy. Like we used to refer to the management trainees: educated idiots. And they were helpless until they learned how to treat those of us who had the knowledge and experience in our field. But to...
