    at first I thought it was a dead battery because when I went to go crank it over after I pulled it out of my shed, nothing would turn over. So I replaced the battery and I went to go do it again and still nothing happened. I checked the solenoid and the solenoid was fine. I pulled off the Plenum to the engine and tried to see if I could turn the actual motor itself and it was seized solid. I have no idea what would've happened because it was in the shed. I know it was running rough when I had put it away during the last time I used it last fall. It just really sucks because it was one of the last craftsman's that was made by Electrolux and not MTD. The new craftsman tractors are absolute junk. The older Briggs & Stratton engines that were in those were awesome. Now the newer ones absolutely blow monkey chunks. I was able to get a Kohler and the cub cadet. I love the aspect of the design of the engine knowing that it has the hydraulic lifters and more power efficiency.

    that gusset kit would be a perfect one for you to try. The total chaos ones are a little bit more involved. I have the total chaos ones on my truck.

    Crocks offer the most protection during grinding and welding vs standard sandals. It's science.

    My wife's hates them, but still let's me touch her butt due to my rugged good looks, Supreme height, and charming personality.


    Also divorce is expensive so she's probably just biding her time until one of my hilariously dangerous and stupid shenanigans finally kills me.

    Well… if your bike has pins on the pedals, that’ll sort itself out in the first couple miles!

    I did see someone on YouTube put cleats on crocks and go for a rip so I guess it’s possible…

    I can't really talk smack on the footwear. I wear workboots / shitkickers or slippers unless I have to look presentable. I just can't do crocks or flip-flops.
    To each their own or something like that

    Welcome to new England matt. :rofl:

    I gave up caring about looks. Slip on is the way to go. I have slip on shoes for riding commute bike, walking around, and I'm getting elastic laces for my work shoes too.

    I'm joining that geriatric shoe club early and don't care.
