Rotated the tires and changed the rear shocks. It rides a lot smoother now.

Holy crap!! Good thing that blade ended up in the ground and not in your ankle! Chinese blades?

 

 

 

 

Brought this little jewel home yesterday from an auction. Picked it up for $325. Less that half price new and old enough it still has cast iron transmission.

Nice little unit there. Those are easier to operate than the older Horse models. The Horse is built like a brick sh*thouse though - virtually indestructible. I've fixed a couple of them for people over the last 2 years.

 

 

Both posts are right up my alley - I work on outdoor power equipment of all types. Trying to get away from cars and their damn computers ... :D

 


DAMN error301 ... had to use Photobucket ... :banghead:

They don't make them like they used to. When I was a kid I was mowing the lawn and out back the grass was tall and covering a small stump. Stopped the blade dead and ripped the mower from my hands and spun it like 90 degrees. Worked it free and kept going for years.

Drove the truck to Savannah Ga for a weekend getaway with the little lady and found out parking garages aren't for lifted trucks, antenna hit every pipe and sign and beam with 2 inches to spare for my sat antenna and somehow ended up with an arm tattoo and no alcohol was not involved.

I hear that! I've seen crankshafts twist on the older ones before the blade broke ... :lol:

Took my truck to Atlanta. Got solid 12 mpg on the 4 hour drive over there. Got plenty of funny looks driving a lifted straight piped truck lol[emoji14]

 

Needless to say I don't ever want to go back there again. EVER

I'm not a big fan of cities myself - the farther I am away from them, the better.

 

 

Fun fun for me and my 75k mile Silverado today. :sick: Getting Moog upper control arms/ball joints, & hub bearings. Gotta get back out there. Time's a wastin' ...

I think your honey has gone bad, which is shocking since it doesn't have an expiration date...

Damn my 2011 had 73k when I traded it. Only stuff that I put into it besides mods was tires and a warranty repair on the TPS.

No, just the grass in the pic! It's a riding mower, Troy Bilt Bronco.

 

I guess the metal fatigued, almost 5 years old, probably had a manufacturing flaw. I've never hit anything big or strong with it, just the occasional stick and lava rock from the flower bed!

WOW that's crazy SnakeEyes ... and scary. 21st century manufacturing for ya ....

 

And on that note ...

Lower ball joints were smoked at 38k. Milked it until 50k, then did that and a set of Bilsteins. When I checked both struts after they were swapped out, one of them was totally blown. This thing has been bucket of crap parts since day one. Only good part about it has been the engine ... and I'd better go knock on wood now. After this thing, I'm DONE buying new. Never again ...

 

 

Just finished the thing a half hour ago. Had about 200 interruptions between phone calls and people stopping by needing help with things, lunch, and eventually supper. Then figured I might as well throw the summer wheels on. LONG friggin day!

 

Hopefully I won't have to deal with this for at least another 10 years, since I now have greaseable ball joints. :chevy:

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
