You may have microbes growing in your fuel. Change out the fuel filter again and report the result.

My brother-in-law is a scrounger and he found an Echo HC150 Hedge Trimmer at the dump. While the engine looked rotted, the trimmer mechanism itself looked to be in good shape. So he brought it to me, and then gave it to me. I rolled my eyes, but since I'm out of action because of a staph...

While we continue to wait for legislation to be enacted domestically so our banks and financial institutions can actively participate in crypto, elsewhere at least one central bank is discussing hyperbitcoinization.

I have a Ferris 2100 with an air seat and 5400 HST motors (That only come on the 3100 series in Ferris' line, but my mower has them without the 2-speed shift linkage). I first tried a Grammer air seat, but found out that the Grammer seat had too much lumbar support for my fused back. That led me...

Your fuel tank vent is plugged. Test by loosening the cap when you lose power and then tightening the cap up again. If power returns, then replace the gas cap with something that fits from your local auto parts store by bringing in your gas cap and matching it with a Slant fuel cap instead of...

I'm orphaned by a lack of dealers, so I purchase Kioti bits through Nolts or Messicks online (Nolts normally provides me with better deals). I also order parts in person from my local Bobcat dealer since Bobcat sells a white paint version of my NX (with a different loader and front axle)...

Blow out the air filter and replace the fuel filter. With a paint pen, write the date and hours on the fuel filter (like it is an aircraft). Then go find out if power returns. If the power is still not coming back, then compression test to confirm the engine isn't getting tired. If compression...

FWIW, there should be in the manual a provision for disabling auto lock because manufacturers understand their trucks are (occasionally) used for work. The auto lock doesn't bother me, but the seat belt chime is disabled on my trucks.

And so there is one place on the internet for all my Woods rotary cutter activities, here is the video about fixing tail wheel damage.

For posterity's sake, and for the next guy who wants to see how to replace blades and adjust the slipper clutch on their Woods rotary cutter, here is a long format video on the subject. I will say this: in the video, I heated up the bent top link structure and straightened it because I do not...

I have now upgraded my rotary cutter so when I'm roading it, people coming up behind me get a giggle.

In the salt-belt we have a natural mechanism of old vehicle removal that doesn't require legislation. Which is the say, Dr. Spock, I'm waiting for plastic cars. Smile.

The bat-stuff crazy thing is Ford has the easiest system for removing and installing the entire wiper arm in the industry.

In the salt belt all of our old vehicles have dissolved. And new mixtures of anti-icing will dissolve older vehicles dragged into our environment faster than when they were originally sold as new back in the day because of more advanced de-icing mixtures. It is all very tragic and sad making me...

Wipers, so hard....
