    yes for sure and in terms of longevity you have them from the least desirable to most desirable and the price has dropped when Time-serts first came out the price was astronomical and with ali-express and temu even time sert knocks offs are still better than a heli-coil. if it's just a cylinder...

    Spark Plug Thread Repair Kit Suggestions?

    I'm in the auto repair business not small engines. I can tell you 100% if you want a long lasting repair DO NOT USE A Heli-coil! if you have had this machine for 30 years your in it for the long haul and from the sounds of it you do preventive maintenance like changing a spark plug regularly...

    How does CCs affect blade power and torque?

    Bigger is always better. HP means nothing. you want as much torque as you can get. Torque is what does the work. think of it like a race car an engine builder will maybe tell you what the HP is but well never tell you what the Torque is and where it comes in and hits it's peak. the twisting is...

    21" self propelled walk behind

    Looking to replace an Ariens 21" Lm classic it's really long in the tooth and I have been nursing it along the last 2 years. it's 19 years old and it's served me well. I'm in NY so it's only used 7 or 8 months of the year. Ariens no longer makes this machine and or Graveley they made the same...

    Another year of dreaming of a new machine.

    So "m a huge fan of Ariens. I started a thread last spring looking for a good durable 21" self propelled machine and got some good choices but some of them were off brands that were not sold around here. I have a 21 Lm classic that is really long in the tooth and I keep saying I'm going to...

    Dual charging system overcharging

    once you get the voltage regulated down to an acceptable range you may want to invest in better battery the cheap ones you get a walmart are junk! think about a "Gel" battery that would be used in a jet ski. they are designed to be bounced around and will last longer then a wet acid battery!

    Ariens classic 21

    they have direct drive models listed but they look like push mowers with high wheels unless the licks on the sire are jacked up? Looked into snapper they don't make one that is rear bagging they have an attachment for a 21 commercial unit that is another $150 over the price of the machine...

    Ariens classic 21

    with these "off" brand mowers they look impressive but down the line getting parts is gonna be an issue, I think. I can still get parts for my 16 year old Areins. Hell I could build my own brand new mower but would cost me twice as much as a new one. If they still built them, I would buy one in...

    Ariens classic 21

    Thank you never heard of Exmark before too bad they are made by Toro Not a fan of their homeowner grade of equipment but that is kind of exactly what I'm looking for and the price doesn't faze me at all if it is indeed good equipment. I have a small yard in the middle of suburbia don't need...
