I got the new Mobley on the new 20.00 plan. Mine does shut off after a few minutes of inactivity.

I have a 30x50 metal building with living quarters on one side, (think 15x50). Above the living area is my storage area.

Several years ago we bought a Kodak all in one color printer. One of the selling points for this printer at the time was cheap replacement ink cartridges. They were selling color cartridges with some photo paper for something like 10.00. Now the printer no longer works and the ink cartridges...

A couple of things come to mind. I don't have a Bad Boy but you might also have a safety on the blade engagement set up. I went even balder trying to figure things out on my Exmark when I repowered it last spring. I Replaced the old engine that had all the safety switch's controlled by the...

I was mowing the yard yesterday when a noise started. I shut the machine down to investigate and found the belt that runs from the PTO clutch to the deck was twisted several times between the fixed idler pulley and the deck. That caused the tension pulley to pull up and start rubbing on the...

I recently purchased a Case 570LXT for enlarging my pond and general dirt work around the property. I expect to get a lot of use from it over the next couple of years then re-consider the need for it and maybe get a smaller tractor after the big dirt work is done to my liking. Rear tires now are...

At my country place I don't have cable TV or internet. I am wanting to get a DVR to be able to record some TV for use when nothing else interesting is on.

I have an older 72" Lazer Z with 26hp EFI Kholer. I am having trouble with it starving for fuel at times. If I switch tanks, it will clear up and run fine for awhile but it happens no matter how full the tank or what tank is selected. I have replaced the fuel lines and replaced the filter with...

Out in the country where I'm at, dial-up is very slow (2-3kbs sec). A near-by truckstop has a WiFi hotspot. I subscribed to it and with a directional Hi gain antenna, I get great results getting 550 to 600kbs download speeds. All at a cost similar to my old dial up. Plus I get my phone back...
