DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

That she is. Also I'm cheap and bought a Craigslist lawnmower for $50 3 years ago and haven't maintained it.

 

That reminds me that I need to do some pre lawn mowing season maintenance on my mower... like sharpening the blades and all that jazz.

 

Yeah... and I don’t feel bad about paying a guy.

 

Thank you sir.

 

Sharpened mine end of last season, so should be good for now. Oil and filter this weekend probably.

 

Thought you learned that lesson already!

 

If you did it yourself would you use a used Murray?

 

No, no I would not.

 

Then it might not be as bad as this thread may make it seem.

 

Heres a post with a pic of the reroute I had done. Some reroute most go with on our trucks. They may offer to remove the secondary cat which will still leave teh truck legal but I chose not to have done. I think @hoarder had the secondary cats removed.

 

Yep, I need to do filter, oil, and a sharpening on the blades soon.

 

Pre-lawn-mowing-season? My back yard is like 6” tall right now. Only got around to mowing the front last weekend.


Edit: used a gas powered tool for the first time btw. Need to get familiar with maintenace. It’s an almost new troy-bilt I bought last fall for $30. Last year I was fighting an ego battery mower which kept bogging down and draining battery really fast if I didn’t mow every week.

 

East Texas... where I cut the grass short enough so that it doesn't grow and then starting around April it starts to grow like mad from all the rain.

Did the back yard last week as it suck so I had to go over it again... really need to sharpen those blades.

 

I didn’t realize removing the secondary cats was an option. Oh well.

 

Any benefit to removing them? If it makes it noisier forget it.

 

Probably? Idk. I still have mine with my reroute.

 

Mine are still present, I like clean air and all that fuzzy California stuff

 

It frees up the exhaust a small amount and possibly slightly louder(not real sure on the noise). The secondary cat isnt needed in Tx to pass emissions but my truck wont always live in Tx so no point in risking it with a different state in the future. I also wasnt looking for the minimal power gain that it may provide but the shop said I could get a little bit of power if I removed it.(I doubt I would have ever noticed a change) If I was really worried about power I would have replaced the entire exhaust to a more free flowing setup. I dont see any point in doing that until the day decide I don't need or no longer have the factory power train warranty and then I'll just throw a SC since that should be released within a year.

Wasnt yours slightly more expensive? What was the difference in your reroute again?

 

And avocado toast.

 

Who doesn't like avocado and toast?
