    walk behind mowers ???

    I've used three or four different models in the 30" to 32" size and in my opinion those machines are *kind of* stuck in the middle as far as being optimal is concerned. The problem lies in the blade size. Having two short blades seems to make them work the most effectively in shorter, more...

    Rented a walk-behind trencher today

    Engineering wise, they're on par with riders. Less weight? Yes, but you're taking a considerably smaller "bite" as well. Uneven traction? Pull the lever that locks the drive wheels together to essentially make the drive axle solid. Walk behind trenchers are incredibly efficient, well-designed...

    old bachtold mower

    Any small engine shop should be able to repair that recoil in a matter of minutes. It is a Briggs engine...here's your engine on a early 60's David Bradley: Edit: Oops, didn't read the other thread. I see someone else posted the same photo earlier today. :wink:

    Lombardini diesel

    Guido, Kohler engines acquired rights to the Lombardini brand back in 2007. Here's a link to another forum with a copy of the press release: http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.php?t=204995 We've had hit-and-miss experience with finding accurate parts breakdowns, AND....dealerships that...

    Lincoln Ranger 10,000 bad stator?

    Give these guys a call. Stators can be re-wound and it typically costs less than half the price of a replacement part. I didn't look up your model specifically, but a comparably sized machine runs ~$800-900. Even if you don't see your model listed, they'll still give you a quote....there are...

    Nitrogen in tires

    We went to a camper/RV show last weekend and [i:2066805431]every[/i:2066805431] manufacturer with their wares on display had nitrogen-filled tires listed among the features. The amusing part was that they chose to not call it "nitrogen" though and instead shortened it up to "nitro". I've...

    Dead oil burner.. primary control?

    You can easily see if the burner motor on a Beckett is good by wiring it directly to 120 volt power. Shut off all power to the furnace and then open up the junction box the primary control sits on top of. Locate the black and the white wires that run out the bottom of the junction box to the...

    Generators

    I've done it with an old single speed drill and a 4" angle grinder. Nope, variable speed power tools usually won't work.

    Generators

    Unfortunately, the "throw it away" mentality has infected lots of people....including many of those that allegedly possess tools and skills. Depending on the reason for the "no output" situation, it may very well cost more to repair than the unit is worth. On the other hand, without hands-on...

    Wood boiler fluid ??

    If by plumbing antifreeze you mean propylene glycol, that's what we're required to use in jobsite hydronic heating systems. Conventional ethylene glycol, (the green stuff used in automotive applications), is prohibited. Propylene glycol is much more expensive than ethylene glycol. We buy it...

    L.B. white heater

    Is it a torpedo-style heater or one of the box-style barn/tent heaters? The box type should get you ~$200-275. The torpedo type should be worth ~$100-175. Until a couple of years ago they were worth quite a bit more. A lot of work sites now restrict the use of direct-fire heaters. They also...

    Furnace problems...Bryant, Grrrrr.

    Our Bryant Plus 90i, (96% I believe), was installed 14 years ago. About a year in, the installing dealer came out and replaced the inducer/blower at no cost to us. It still worked, it was just noisy as it spooled up to speed. This year, I replaced the accordian-style rubber drain hose for the...
