    Forgot about coke, normally use vinegar and baking soda to clean them.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Even just baking soda and water works well.

    Spray a little FF on the clean/ new terminals.
    Works for me.
    Or
    Every time you use it, lift the hood and give her a shot of water while you’re washing and waxing your mower….











    I’ll leave now

    Morning all:

    :(, don't feel lonely, I go through that all the time and have brush piles and cut up trees all along the yard.

    And I thought I was the only one who waxed my mower!
    OK, what is FF?

    Ez pass transponder came yesterday, seat covers already had arrived, new water pump and gaskets for a jet outboard also came yesterday, and a credit card bill that was a little late also came yesterday, all caught up now on everything I was waiting for.

    You guys crack me up. I bought a mower in 2006, starts first or second pull every time, and I think I changed the oil ten years ago. Even the spider webs have spider webs.

    OK, fluid film, that's something that I have never used and am unfamiliar with it, will check it out.

    I bought the Deutz Allis 917H garden tractor/mower in 1989 and have absolutely BRUTALIZED IT, it is still serving me well. although it's semi retired since I got the Z turn to mow. One thing I do keep up with is oil changes and lubrication, parts for those things are expensive!

    Wow! Up "late" this morning. We both slept in. No wonder... I had to R/R our mailbox when we got back yesterday... snowplow creamed it again. At least it was a clean break. There's a fine line between a good install and complete destruction. My uproot re-install from the last hit worked for a long time. Wife says I'm smarter than a plow. I think that's a compliment. They plow early... still dark, and they spotlight the road edge, which illuminates the mailbox, and the trailing edge of the plow. I cringe every time I hear it go by... waiting for that inevitable crunch.
