Hey Connecticut, our backs hurt

I had no idea.. that's crazy! Dew Drop is nuts now.. so popular. You need a reservation for a table. The last time I was there their wings were market price. It used to be such a dive.. now I need to save up to get wings there once every couple of months.

 

What's up CT?
Got my rivnut tool today. Bracket is done, now I just need to insert a couple rivnuts and pick up some M4 screws. Doing some tests. One is for the new Techstream "GTS+"

 

Tried to do an experiment yesterday. Was going to set the HVBattery fan on high before taking the Pius on the highway, but darned I could not find where the setting was in my scanner & gave up. The scanners are getting as complicated as the cars are now. Everything is in a menu in a menu in a menu.
It's like the maze they had where I did my Jr. year of college. Edge of campus was a maze where late night hooligans wouldn't bother anyone. Get drunk, do maze. Modern scanners are harder & less fun than drunken mazing.

 

Good morning CT.
Messing around with the nutsert tool last night. The instructions aren't that great. They include a step drill with number markings but don't tell you which number is for which nutsert.
There is a chart in the instructions telling you which size hole to drill so I'll just use a drill bit. I need to pull the vents/radio surround to run the ant. cables to the back of the radio. I'll do that on lunch today.

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Tuesday.

 

Morning Connecticut

 

The Mrs has strep throat, again...

Second time in the span of 2 months. Shit is going around.

It's only a matter of time before the kids and I get it then I'm sure.

FUCK.

 

Dude, Not Again!

Exhibit A...

 

My wife had it last week, I dodged it but I think it's her second time in a short span as well

 

Looked it up. Blue Onyx pearl, paint code 08P8

 

I'm glad you mentioned the rivnut tool.the other day. I was trying to find a way to mount the two-up seat on the back rack of my quad. It would be a headache to get your hand between the rack and fender to hold a nut while you tightened the bolt and removing the rack every time isn't fun either. Found we have a rivnut tool and nuts at work so I borrowed them for a day or two and put nutserts in the rack and got threaded knobs from Am@zon. 60 second remove and install with no tools required.

 

Good morning everyone....for those of you with commercial walk-behind mowers I'm looking for an opinion. Last summer I picked up an older(1990s) ExMark Metro 48". It's belt driven. I am looking to replace the drive belts before the mowing season. Are drive belts something a shop needs to do or is it something a homeowner can do? Pretty handy with a son that knows way more than me! Any opinions either way would be appreciated!

Thanks guys!

 

Wish I could help.

But for what it's worth, I have an Exmark Turf Tracer X Series 52" walk behind. Love that damn thing! Exmark makes great stuff.

You'll love your machine, if you don't already.

 

Thanks! I do love it. Even though it’s older it’s a beast! I think the belts are slipping or something is going on when I turn. The wheel kind of locks up if I engage the lever all the way/too far. Could be a lever adjustment too I suppose.

 

Replacing brakes and a wheel bearing but can’t get the bearing off? Flip the rotor and smack it with a hammer.

 

No slide hammer?

 

Nope.

 

@HAVOC damn. I found mine quite handy over the years. I heard it works for doing the Taco's ECGS Bushing too.

 

We have slide hammers but trying to get an adapter for the hub is difficult.
