Hello, My wife is a Pastor at our local church, the church council is throwing around the idea of installing a mini split AC unit with heat pump for this upcoming season. They are looking at putting in The Mr. Cool Advantage system (not the DIY system), which is sold by home depot and...

Hello all, Given all this extra time I have on my hands while staying home I have finally searched and found a 12'x24' portable garage to store all my toys in. I contacted the company and purchased it. It has a 3/4" tongue and groove engineered floor in it. I would like to apply a floor...

Well I would say today was a success. Everything went back together smooth with no major hiccups. Generator started on the 2nd pull and produced electricity! Thanks again for everyone’s help and input. Total price including purchase price & parts I am at $221. I believe I still came out...

Thank you. This is the tag on the frame.

Good Morning all, I recently acquired a Generac 7500 Watt generator for $75 that has sat outside for the past few years. The fuel tank was rusted and full of water, and the piston was seized in the cylinder with heavy rust and water damage to the cylinder walls. The generator end was like...

Ok so I feel like I owe you guys an update, yes I know I am 2 years later but life happened and I haven't been able to log on in the past year. So with the motor, by the time I got done fooling around with whether or not to purchase this motor or not, it was not available by this seller or any...

Hello. I was gifted a Scag Super Z with a 22hp Kohler command engine that had a cylinder 1 blown head gasket. (Was burning oil very badly). So as a precaution I put a whole new head with all new valve train on that side. Also as a precaution I removed the valve cover from the cylinder 2 side and...

ALL BETTER. AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT MADE!!!

FIRST OF ALL, I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE "YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR" CONCEPT BUT JUST HEAR ME OUT.... Ok now that we got that out...:laughing: I have an early 1970s Black and Decker generator, that has a very worn out Briggs 5HP motor on it. For years it was mounted to the front of our race car...

Hey guys... Towards the end of summer, I took my 318 up to a good friends house to push some dirt around for them with the blade, had it loaded down with the blade, rear bracket with 6 suitcase weights on it, plus 135lbs in each wheel. As I am pushing this dirt around, I am using the...

So I got this old what looks to be a military public announcement box. No PA system just the empty box. It was left in the basement of my house when I bought it. I knew it was there just never really got around to looking in it until just recently. Anyone ever seen one or know of the value...

Hey Guys, Bought a log splitter with a bad motor off a friend (burnt as much oil as fuel pretty much)...I had a replacement used motor I picked up at a local swap meet for small engines. When I went to change the motor out, I noticed two things, 1) Someone was in there before me because it...

Ok so I took the Fiance car shopping and we found a really nice, used, clean, fully loaded 2012 Volkswagon Passat. They had it on the lot for 15,8xx. Car has 49,xxx miles & still under factory warranty. Car sales lady comes out, starts doing her thing trying to sell us the car. Before I even...

We had the same situation! we purchased a Genie direct drive homeowners door opener for it, and ripped down a long 2x4 to act as an "extension" piece to go from the end of the opener, down to the door, since there wasn't enough clearance between the door when it was open and the ceiling of the...

Hello, I have acquired a mid 90s Scag Super Z from a co-worker off a barter trade, at the time all he told me was it had internal engine problems and dealer told it him it would be around $800 to fix. I got it, brought it home, put fresh gas, oil, a battery and new spark plugs in it, and it...
