Ok here's the deal. I have some motorcycle parts that I want to put on Craig's List, so I take the pictures and remove the USB card from the camera, put it in the computer and send the pictures along with the ad. Don't know how to do that with the cell phone pictures. So there you have it, don't...

My old camera finally gave up the ghost, so I'm in the market for a replacement. Does anyone make a good one for under $250? I went online to search and about fell over, there are some in the $2000 range. Don't need the smoke and mirrors, just take good pictures and maybe a close up feature...

I have a Kubota 900 RTV with the three cylinder diesel engine in it. It's time for an oil change and I just happen to have a bunch of Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w-30 even though Kubota recommends 10w-30. Would this difference in weight hurt anything? Also the Pennzoil container does not say...

I have a Kubota 900 RTV with the diesel engine in it. It's time to change the oil and it calls for 10w-30. I have a bunch of Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w-30 and was wondering if this could be used. It does not say anywhere on the jug about using it in a diesel engine. Would this oil be ok...

Have any of you used a blood tracking flashlight? Did it work? Did it make the drops of blood jump out at you? If you were pleased with it, who made it? Thank you. RRM

I know they are supposed to be carving saws, but I was wondering if anyone has used one for cutting up smaller limbs for firewood. They're expensive saws so I thought the quality may be there. Anyone have one? Thanks. RRM

My 2003 Buick Century (work car) is starting to smoke a little and use oil. A friend said he had the same thing with his car a few years ago and dumped a quart of Rislone in with his next oil change and it seemed to help. I'm thinking maybe there is some crud or carbon lodged somewhere that the...

Thanks fell'as. The JD dealer wanted as much for just the gear as you can buy a whole new starter for. I'll do some looking on the net. Most, if not all of them, are made in China. Thanks again.

I bought a basket case JD 210 lawn tractor (1986) and went all over it. Got it running, new belts, etc, etc. Mowed with it a couple of times for a total of about 5 or 6 hours. Got it for the wife to use. (she likes it) Runs and mows great. Yesterday it would not start. Starter not kicking in...

I need some help so I'm coming here to ask you guys. Like a fool I hit a tree while spraying and broke one of the spray arms off and now I'm looking for a place to buy a new one. I may be able to make the pipe work, but the tube and fittings that go inside may be a little difficult to make, so I...

Ok fell'as. Thank you very much. RRM

I have a couple of apple trees that look like they are going to produce some apples this year. I would like to spray them starting now to keep the insects off of them. I was at the garden store and they had Seven all purpose spray dust, but I don't have an applicator for spraying the dust. What...

I need to top off my equipment's hydraulic system and was over at Rural King and saw where they had a couple of skids of hydraulic fluid in 5 gallon buckets, but was not sure if it would be compatible with what's already in my equipment. The two types they had are Cam AG-20 and X-treme 334. The...

Check this out. I ordered a brake switch for the steering column. It comes in and I pull the air bag out of the steering wheel and unscrew the switch and disconnect the wire from it's harness. Guess what, the wire plug has a different shape to it than the new one even though the 2000- to 2005...

My wife has a 2002 Toyota Avalon that in the winter time (or any cold day) the cruise control will not work, but let the temperature warm up, like this time of year, and then it starts working again. (cold in the morning doesn't work, coming home from work in the afternoon, it works). Have any...
