    A little off topic, but I have a nice DeWalt jig saw. Minimal use over the years. The wheel that the blade rides in has broken. Guess which part is the only part that is no longer available. It use to be that you paid good money for a quality tool that would stand up to use. Now I feel they are...

    Best Nut or thread locking devices

    My brothers and I all joke about Dad and "...hold the light....It's in my eyes...". I'm sure in our minds we said hold it yourself. I also learned while holding the light that if someone is doing a job and they are doing a whole lot of swearing , They really don't know what they are doing.

    MF GC2310 TLB Issue

    Well , It feels like summer has hit in Central New York. Regarding the sneeze issue, It hasn't happen since I posted the situation. Maybe I was giving it too much fuel on a cold winter start. Thanks for all of your suggestions and comments, Matt.

    MF GC2310 TLB Issue

    I went to check my sneeze this morning. I pulled the air intake boot or tube out of its location in front of the radiator so I could see it. I secured a piece of tape over the end so I could see if the flap of tape would be sucked in or would be blown out on the sneeze. Started it up and of...

    GC 2310TLB Steering

    Actually , it was a 300 hour service done at 600 hours. At 300 hours I know the front axel was done but at 600 hours I know it was not. The Tech came to the house. So from what I gather here, The steering is part of the of the main hydraulic system. The front axel is separate from the main...
