Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Damn, what are you paying for that? (No need to answer).

Consolodated was charging me $70 a month for dismal DSL like that.

Hate to give him a penny but Starlink brought me to reasonable speeds, at least enough to stream and support video conferencing better than when I’m in the office. It was $90 but went to $120 a month…

 

Uhhh I think not. There's already another house worth of crap down there currently; no room for more

 

Good afternoon friends! Hope your day is smooth and your internet is fast


I typed that while waiting on this to load

 

I pulled the trigger on a Toro push mower and a Stihl weed eater this morning, ouch that camshaft was bent and I wasn't going to try and bend it back and eat a piston when it came apart. Just like everything else in the world, those have gotten a lot more expensive since the last time I bought them.

 

$55/month

Our tech is 2 Chromebooks so it works fine.

 

Came out to a parking lot last night and found that birds had blasted the truck...

Really blasted it.

Just about...





Everywhere





I spent about $12 to get the worst of it off.

birds...

 

Welllll.... shit....

 

You ain't kiddin'

I have parked in the exact place 1/2 dozen times with no issues, all was fine when I went in. 2-1/2 hours later...

The windshield was a disaster, it took lots of washer fluid to get it clear enough to drive.

 

You have to love where they put the oil drain on some of these small engines. About to make a big mess

 

Two drain plugs. One in the front and one in the back. Both over the frame rail.

 

The oil extractor is really handy on small engines, I have had one for about 30 years.

 

Ok
I wanna see some vids from you guys.

 

That’s easy enough to solve…

 

I don't know Mike, IIRC those foreign engines don't use a regular pipe thread for the drains. I had a Chinese Honda clone engine on a tiller and the drain bolt wasn't any pipe thread I've seen.

 

^This. @RustyGreen beat me to it…

 

Strip of Neoprene strategically placed. Used to have to change oil on small triplex pumps at a coin op. car wash when I was a kid.

 

Think outside the box…
There are ways..
I agree they use different crap for it.

 

I’ll have to look into one of these. Rider mower has one of those caps you put a hose on and then turn the cap. Makes it real easy. The generator is easy to get to and out of the way of everything but is too low to the ground for my drain pan to get under.

 

Ah.... yanno I forgot about drilling it out and re-tapping for a pipe thread
