    John Deere D110 Smoking

    Mower only has a 100hrs on it. Using conventional Pennzoil 10w30 Check your mower manual. Doesn't your engine call for Straight 30W oil? May be wrong but I believe it does. If so, that can very well be your problem.

    Premix vs gas station 2 stroke

    To each their own personal likes and dislikes. Like I said (for me) the pre mix fuel has served me well for 10 years (no repairs by me or repair shop visits). Currently, I can afford the 50 bucks or so that I spend annually on 2 gallons of the pre mix. When I can't afford it any longer, I...

    Premix vs gas station 2 stroke

    That is true but I don't think the trimmer you listed would make it through one season for my sometimes heavy duty ab---use. I have a commercial duty trimmer that, like I said have used for 10 seasons and I paid over 2 times what your suggestion costs 10 years ago. Also, the curved shaft...

    Premix vs gas station 2 stroke

    I use about 2 gallons per year of store bought pre-mix. $50.00 or so. In 2011 I bought a new string trimmer and blower. I have about 1 acre yard and have used the same equipment for the past 10 seasons and they sit up up from the end of October until April with the fuel that remained in them...

    PTO Fluid change and I GT 2100 cub cadet

    For the filter it depends. Are you sure it was a hydraulic filter with proper cross reference number? I used an after market filter once properly cross referenced and it acted kind of squirrely and I went ahead and changed it to a OE filter and was satisfied. I have changed the filter and...

    Hydraulic Dump Trailer

    I currently own a 5 ft by 8 ft Tilt-Bed Utility Trailer with a 1500# axle. My plans are to convert the trailer to a Hydraulic Dump Trailer. I probably will go ahead and change the axle to a 3500#. My use of the trailer will be for hauling leaves from my lot placed in the trailer by a leaf and...

    Kohler Oil Cooler

    I bought a GT 2000 Cub (20 HP Kohler) in June of 2011. Obviously, I started out running the CUB during the hot summer months. Here in SC it is not unusual to get 95 degree ambient temps in July and August. I know that Air Cooled runs hot but IMHO, I think the Kohler ran very warm and it may...
