    Mowing Was your new implement old when you purchased it from the dealership?

    Check the cost per pound. At our store the biggest bag 55# (I think) is more expensive per pound than the smaller 40 pound bag. I buy 2 smaller bags and come out a few bucks ahead

    Well Pump Electrical Problem

    Maybe a bad new pump drawing too much . I have seen the wire running down the well pipe get chafed due to lack of the things used to keep the pump from moving in the case. At my brother's it would hit the metal casing and trip the breaker

    I actually just put a HF engine on that exact same tiller and it works great. Did have to disconnect oil switch as mentioned. Crank bolts are different so you will need a new one. Otherwise bolt in with no mods.

    How steep can one put up a metal roof?

    That is similar to my house. I would recommend a custom roof, put on by a reputable roofer. Mine is crimped over, no exposed Fasteners and all joints caulked. We did a total tear off and ice and water on the entire roof. For those that say its noisy, it's not. The metal sits right on in the Ice...
