    Before and after pictures of grading my private road at the cottage

    So today I used the box grader to finally "fix the road". I'm very pleased with the result [emoji846] To make it look like that, I finish by pulling an old mattress frame behind our ATV to level everything out.

    I have a bad feeling about this

    Thanks, this does look way worse than mine. I'll know more next spring when I have the tires unmounted. I'll look for good deals on used rims in the meantime.

    I'm going to have the company that put the tubes in two years ago to come back next spring and take out the tires so I can have a look at the damage inside. I'll go from there. Thanks.

    Thanks. I'll check again next spring and if no changes, I'll grind the paint away, threat with Ospho and repaint.

    Needle scaler? I do have a bottle of Ospho that I might try next spring if it's worth it.

    I have a bad feeling about this

    Here's what the worst (from the outside ) of both wheels look like. Not knowing how bad the shape was, I was worried about a catastrophic failure/explosion so I used my thick welding gloves and protective glasses as well as grinded from the side of the wheels, just in case. For now, being...

    question on going from conventional oil to synthetic on smaller engines

    My 1991 B&S land mower has only seen W30 conventional oil and still starts on the first pull. Had to change the carburetor film and primer bulb, but that's it. Oil is changed yearly in the spring before its first seasonal use. I do start it for about 5 minutes to warm up the oil before the oil...

    I have a bad feeling about this

    I'm in western Quebec/eastern Ontario. I checked that link and it doesn't give any rims for my LK30. I checked the LK3054, same thing.

    I have a bad feeling about this

    Ok, reviving this old thread to give an update. Two years ago, I had my wheels emptied and tube installed. Little did I know it was just a timed bomb. My rims are no longer leaking but this what they look like last week :( How screwed am I? Will these last at least the winter? Hoping that...

    question on going from conventional oil to synthetic on smaller engines

    My B&S mower is 31 years old and beside changing the carb film twice and push primer bulb once, has always started on first pull. I put 30 grade conventional oil from whatever I can get my hands on in the spring. In my 27 years old Tecumseh snow blower, same but 5W30 conventional oil. It...
