    oil decision

    Getting ready for a oil/filter change on my 1723e. The first oil change I used the AGCO 10W-30. This time I am going to use the Shell Rotella T6 15-40. Meets/exceeds the specs that MF manual states: CJ-4. Specs show it is good to go down to 5*F. I don't start up the tractor below 32*F...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    Needed to pick up a belt for the Garden Tractor today. Rolled out the bike and took the long way to get the job done. Temps in the 70's made for a comfortable ride.

    Forum for air cooled diesel engines and clones

    My current 2019 Toro Wheelhorse has the single cylinder 14hp Kohler gas engine. Works fine with 575 hours on the meter, but in the back of my mind I was thinking it would be nice to swap out to a diesel.

    Which oil is better??

    In my book, if the oil meets the manufactures specifications - you good.

    Why do we keep driving to far away stores that are understocked, understaffed and don't care?

    Online shopping for me. I hate to support amazon but sometimes you do what you got to do.

    Saving Money as Prices Increase

    We have one of these for many years also. Does a great job at fraction of the cost to operate. When it gets really cold we pull it out of the closet. Not doing anything really different than the OP. Besides staying around home most of the time: Freezer & nonperishable items good to go. Wood...

    Drone suggestion

    Been a while since I flown my drone or any R/C. Dug it out and charged everything up. Did a couple flights and enjoyed it. Been thinking of getting a Phantom 4 Pro or the Air 2S. May even complete my part 107 training. Now that is is cooler = perfect flying weather.
